Ergonomic Motorized Height Adjustability.
Multiple Configurations. Massive Flexibility.
The Workplace Direct Drive™ Workstation is the ideal ergonomic solution—especially when used by multiple personnel.
Its unique design uses a high-torque motor directly driving a precision lift screw mechanism enclosed in each leg, offering superb maintenance-free reliability with no loss of position—even when power is off.
The Direct Drive motorized workstation is available in stationary, mobile, in-line, or corner configurations and accommodates the same wide variety of accessories as Workplace’s manually height adjustable workstations.
Stationary Direct Drive Workstation
Direct Drive workstations offer 14 inches of height adjustability in two standard ranges with a 500 pound static load weight capacity. Configure using 8 popular lengths and 3 popular depths or call for other size requirements.
Mobile Direct Drive Workstation
When configured as a mobile workstation, equipment and materials are easily accessible as needed in multiple work locations. Stationary workstations can easily be converted to mobile at any time.
Motorized Leg Sections
All critical components are fully enclosed in each leg section, ideal for use in industrial, lab, or clean room environments.
High Torque Motor
Each leg section houses a maintenance free, high torque motor. A central controller ensures that each leg remains synchronized.
Low Pitch Lead Screws
The Direct Drive mechanism features a low pitch lead screw design providing unparalleled stability. The height of the worksurface remains locked in place even if power is lost.
Accessories & Seating
Direct Drive workstations accommodate the same wide range of over-table and under-table accessories as manually height adjustable workstations.
Colors & Worksurfaces
Eight different worksurface materials satisfy every task requirement.
Ten standard colors in durable, environmentally friendly powder-coat finish.

Laminate
PLASTIC LAMINATE TOPS
With Post-Formed Front Edge or Standard Front Edge
The 1-1/16” thick Plastic Laminate Top features an easy-to-clean surface for many general purpose applications. A core of 1” dimensionally stable flakeboard is covered with a plastic laminate surface sheet and edging of .039” thick high-pressure laminate. In addition, a plastic laminate backer sheet of approx. .020” thickness covers the underside of the core stock and ¼-20 metal inserts are located in the underside of the tops for ease of fastening to many of the Workplace frames. The resulting top is a well-balanced, long-lasting work surface.

ESD LAMINATE TOPS
With Post-Formed Front Edge or Standard Front Edge
The ESD Tops feature ESD Laminate, a decorative, clean, amino resin laminate which rapidly dissipates static electrical charges, and is recommended for use in areas which must be free of static electrical charges. The ESD Top is equipped with a flush-mount grounding system (factory-installed) with grounding hardware located on the underside of the Top. A flush-mount grounding bolt is located in the top of the worksurface (at the rear). The flush-mount ground system also includes two banana plugs set flush in the front edge for convenient connection of customer-supplied wrist straps. The ESD Top is fabricated with a dimensionally stable 1” flakeboard used as core stock, with a surface sheet of ESD Laminate covering the top surface and all edges. A plastic laminate backing sheet of at least .020” thickness covers the underside of the top.
Note: ESD Tops require connection to your earth ground system.
