Tips From Standing Desk Manufacturers About Buy Standing Desks

We are a standing desk manufacturer from China and have been in this industry for more than 10 years. We have a standing desk factory in Suzhou (an hour's drive from Shanghai). This article is for a standing desk distributor. For dealers, wholesalers and standing desk companies, we will teach you about standing desks and how to choose standing desks from the perspective of producing and manufacturing standing desks. Overall, this is a popular science piece about standing desks for standing desk buyers.

1. About the Motor of the Standing Desk

The motor is one of the most important components of a standing desk and is also the core power source of a standing desk. The performance of an electric standing desk, such as lifting range, speed, noise and load-bearing capacity, mainly depends on the technical indicators of the motor used. Therefore, when choosing an electric standing desk, you should pay attention to the choice of motor. The motor of an electric standing desk can be a low-voltage DC turbine gearbox motor, which has the characteristics of high torque, low noise, and compact size.

There are two main types of motors for lift desk: single motor and dual motor. The motor of a single motor standing desk is usually installed under the desktop, and the motor is exposed to the outside. The single motor is used to control the two column legs of the standing desk to complete the lifting and lowering of the desktop. The motors of the dual motor standing desk are installed in the two column legs, and the dual motors provide more flexible control.

The working principle of the single motor standing desk is that a motor drives the transmission arm to control the lifting and lowering of the table legs. The operating load is about 80kg, which is more than enough for friends who pursue cost-effectiveness and home use.

The working principle of the dual motor standing desk is that two motors control the lifting and lowering of the two table legs respectively. The operating load is about 150kg. It is a better choice for those who like to set up a table or place a lot of office supplies on the table. Compared with single-motor standing desks, the performance of dual-motor standing desks is more stable.

2. About Standing Desk Upwards/downwards

The leg installation methods of the standing desk are divided into upwards and downwards. You can refer to the picture below. The upward table leg structure is like a solid and stable foundation. Only with a stable foundation can the frequency of shaking of the upper layer be reduced. Moreover, the lifting and lowering of the table legs is adjusted up and down in the lifting column tube, so lubricating oil needs to be added to reduce friction. Upwards can also protect your clothes from getting dirty, even if you have children at home. In general, upwards standing desks are more in line with modern people's aesthetic preferences, and their stability is better than downwards desks.

Downwards installation is the opposite installation method to the upwards standing desk. One advantage of downward installation is that dust does not accumulate in the gaps between the lifting columns. However, the current mainstream standing desks in the market are upwards. As time goes by, the demand for downward standing desks is becoming less and less.

3. About the of the Standing Desk Holeless Lifting Column

To compare the holeless process and the process of the standing desk with a hole lifting column, please refer to the picture below.

The holeless craftsmanship of the standing desk lifting column, through the use of invisible connectors and special lifting device design, achieves the aesthetics and functionality of the desk. This process is not only suitable for the production of panel furniture but also for the processing of metal materials, demonstrating its wide application potential.

The holeless process of the standing desk lifting column mainly involves how to realize the lifting function of the desk without using traditional connectors (such as three-in-one connectors). The holeless process is not only widely used in the lift table industry but also in other furniture manufacturing. It is mainly used to process the installation slots and connector installation holes required for invisible connectors. The application of this technology makes the furniture more beautiful in appearance because there are no traditional connection holes.

For standing desks, the holeless process of lifting columns is a triple test for the manufacturer's R&D, technology and production line. Because the non-hole process of the standing desk column is much more difficult than the process with holes, it seems that there are only two missing screw holes, but there are many processes that need to be adjusted from R&D to production. The design and implementation of the lifting column are the key to the standing desk. The design of the non-hole process of the lifting column reflects that the non-porous process is of great help in providing the aesthetics and functionality of the desk.

To optimize the appearance of standing desks and make them look more beautiful and fashionable, many excellent standing desk manufacturers in China have begun to develop and design non-hole lifting column standing desks. Suzhou Uplift Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. has updated all standing desk products with holes into non-holes as early as 2022. This shows that the company has strong R&D and design capabilities and is constantly updating market demand. In order to meet the needs of customers in different markets and enhance market competitiveness.

4. About standing desk foot

The feet of a standing desk are a decision-making point for judging whether the desk is shaking, so the feet should be a point that cannot be ignored when you choose a height-adjustable desk. The picture below is DPF-1, our more common standing desk feet, which are made of Integrated die-casting + arch bridge structure + bending process on both sides to ensure the stability of the mechanical structure and avoids the risk of collision.

There are also lower-cost desk feet, such as DPF-2 as shown below. This kind of foot has a simple structure, It only requires the production line to cut the hollow steel purchased from the national examination, and then stuff it with a plastic envelope. If the plastic envelope falls off, and the manufacturer has not cleaned the burrs, it may cause scratches.

Upliftec standing desk manufacturer also produces a desk foot, such as the DPF-3 as shown below, which has a lifting column embedded in the feet. It is currently the most stable desk foot and is 100% Made of steel complete, the cost is higher compared to other desk foot.

Conclusion

The above are some tips that we, as a standing desk manufacturer, have summarized to help office furniture dealers better choose standing desks. Many standing desk wholesalers like to compare prices when choosing standing desk suppliers, but you also need to compare the quality of the products. In the entire standing desk market in China, the costs of labor and materials are similar. Why can some standing desk suppliers achieve such low prices? It may be that they have reduced materials in different parts of the product. Therefore, standing desk dealers must compare multiple dimensions when selecting products and suppliers, and cannot just look at price.

When choosing a standing desk, you should consider factors such as the motor, technical indicators (such as lifting range, speed, noise and load-bearing capacity), and whether it supports intelligent control. At the same time, you should also pay attention to the overall design and material of the table to ensure that the product you choose can bring you different business opportunities, hoping to not only meet the needs of use, but also have a good user experience.
