Custom Consoles introduce System 2 motorised workstations

Custom Consoles, specialist in high-grade office and studio furniture, has introduced a System 2 modular motorised workstation complying with the latest European health and safety directives.
System 2 is designed to accommodate standard office equipment, computers, graphic processors and screens. Pushbutton-controlled electric motors in the S2-01 desk and S2-02 monitor shelf allow quick, easy and inherently safe height adjustment via a panel located just below the front surface of each desk, four user presets being provided to store frequently-used settings.
Workstations to match a wide range of applications are available from nine System 2 elements:
  • S2-01 electric height-adjustable desk with 2000 x 750 mm surface area, power distribution and cable management.
  • S2-02 electric height adjustable monitor shelf with 2000 x 550 surface area, power distribution and cable management.
  • S2-03 19 inch mobile 13U equipment pedestal with stabiliser and worktop.
  • S2-04 19 inch 3U equipment pod (in optional clear or coloured finish).
  • S2-05 Sliding tray accepting most videotape decks.
  • S2-06 19 inch rack-mount mains distribution unit with Powercon connector and 12 IEC power outputs.
  • S2-07 Computer mounting frame.
  • S2-08 19 inch 27U equipment enclosure.
  • S2-09 19 inch 3U angled control panel mounting pod.

Custom Consoles' Sales Manager Gary Fuller commented: "System 2 motorised workstations greatly reduce the problem of repetitive strain injury by allowing staff to adjust the height of the desktop and adjacent surfaces to match their personal preferences. This brings additional benefits in 'hot-desking' situations where desks and equipment are shared by several staff or shifts.
"The desks were developed in co-operation with FIRA's Ergonomics Unit to ensure full compliance with current health and safety regulations. The result is affordable, stylish and, above all, legal."
System 2 is available in natural wood or coloured MDF (red, yellow, green, blue or black) with hard-lacquered finish.
Founded in 1996, Custom Consoles designs and manufactures office and studio furniture combining high structural quality, ergonomic excellence and attractive appearance.
Desk profiles and bases are machined to high accuracy using a computer-numeric-controlled router, then assembled and finished by skilled craftsmen.
