How does the weight on my sit-stand desk affect the motor performance?

Payload management is a critical specification factor at OfficeFurniture2go.com. We calculate the expected desktop load (monitors, arms, computer, peripherals, accessories) and specify a motor with rated capacity at least 25% above the calculated load — the 80% load rule. For dual-monitor setups with heavy equipment, this often pushes requirements into the 200+ lb capacity range, which requires a commercial dual-motor specification. Overloading a sit-stand desk is the most common source of motor failures in commercial environments. We confirm payload calculations before finalizing any sit-stand specification. Call 1-800-460-0858.
