Ergotron, Inc., a Nortek Company (NASDAQ: NTK), a leader in the sit-stand movement and global provider of ergonomic work and lifestyle products, announced today the launch of its newest sit-stand solution: the WorkFit-T Sit-Stand Desktop Workstation. Adding to Ergotron's suite of workplace solutions, this new desktop workstation ships fully assembled to be used out-of-the-box, without requiring any tools or adjustments. It quickly and easily creates a sit-stand workspace, helping reduce strain and combat workplace injuries associated with the overuse of muscles, bad posture and repeated tasks.

The WorkFit–T incorporates new patent-pending components to its already patented Constant Force™ technology, and it sits on top of the desk without mounting or clamping, making it easily movable from one work area to another. The unique patent pending lift system design enables straight up and down movement, without the need to arc the work surface away from the desk's edge when transitioning from sit-to-stand positions, minimizing product intrusiveness into the user's workspace. In addition, the unit adjusts vertically up to 15 inches (38.1 cm) to accommodate a broad range of users and can be configured with the use of Ergotron monitor riser accessories (sold separately) to securely lift monitors off the worksurface, so a single SKU can be modified to each user and for multiple monitor configurations.

"We are excited to introduce the WorkFit-T as the latest addition to our WorkFit series of sit-to-stand workstations. This model was developed with input from our top customers who love the fluid sit-to-stand capability of our WorkFit product line and wanted something for immediate out-of-box use," said Pete Segar, group president, Ergonomic and Productivity Solutions for Nortek. "We continue to have the broadest lineup of ergonomic sit-to-stand products -- there is something for everyone looking to improve their workplace health and productivity."

The WorkFit-T ships fully assembled, offering companies easy, tool-less installation, saving facilities valuable time and expenses in retrofitting existing spaces with sit-stand functionality. The unit accommodates single or dual monitor configurations, is available in either black or white and offers a generous work surface with a keyboard tray and mouse area.

The new WorkFit-T Sit-Stand workstation can be pre-ordered now and will be available globally in mid-February 2015 through Ergotron's distribution and reseller partners.

More about the Sit-Stand Movement
Ergotron has been manufacturing sit-stand computing products for more than a decade to encourage healthier movement throughout the workday. By inspiring a sit-stand work routine, workers can counteract the harmful effects of sedentary life and work styles, including what studies have concluded to encompass poor circulation that leads to aches and pains and also increases the risk of diabetes, heart problems and premature death. To extend the message about the importance of moving more Ergotron launched JustStand.org in 2010 and the JustStand Index to measure the awareness of sitting disease and the dangers of sitting for prolonged periods of time.
