ONGO®Stand firmly stands on the floor with three feet. Its standpipe, resiliently mounted in the foot, is so flexible that the height as well as the inclination of the seat adapts perfectly to any working condition. Ideal for people who need or want to work standing up. Because the combination of stability and mobility increases the radius of action - for unimpeded concentration and optimal results

Features

  • The seat is available in black and white as well as with a microfiber fleece padding - in black, gray and henna - which clips and clings very easily onto the seat and which can also be replaced

ONGOStand ESD – DIN EN 61340-5-1

As with the proven ONGO®Stand, the ONGO®Stand ESD also emphasizes the seat as well as the elastic support of the standpipe in the foot. The shape of the seat was selected according to the ergonomic requirements so that the user can both sit comfortably on it and only lean against it. In order to be able to optimally adapt the position of the seat to the working conditions, the standpipe is not rigid but is mounted elastically in the foot. The elastic storage favors a large radius of action and overall active and therefore healthy work.

Further Information

What is an ergonomic sit-stand stool?

A standing aid is a raised stool used to relieve pressure on the legs when standing. You can either lean against the stool or assume a position very similar to sitting. The main purpose of a stool is to relieve strain on the legs, feet and back muscles. The ability to tilt the support foot further relieves the pelvis, and the tilt angle can be adjusted to match the user's movements. An ergonomic stool can be used in a variety of ways, such as a counter stool, laboratory chair, reception desk, workbench or production line. High-quality stools have a mechanism that supports the body's movements and does not inhibit the natural urge to move. After all, several posture changes per hour are medically recommended. This applies to both standing and sitting workstations.

Advantages of an ergonomic stand-up stool

In many workplaces it is not possible to sit down. In industry or workshops there are many so-called standing jobs. Even receptionists often stand all day. In the long run, standing for long periods of time is just as harmful as sitting all day. Shifting your weight and walking a few steps can often only temporarily distract you from aching legs and feet. The result is a variety of discomforts that can be alleviated by using an ergonomic standing aid, which provides temporary relief to the spine and counteracts one-sided strain. At the same time, it is often necessary to maintain the range of motion. An ergonomic standing aid with a movable support leg is the solution. This means that work in research, production or sales can be carried out to the full extent and in a way that is easy on the body. A large radius of action is maintained. Because of the positive effects on the body, insurance companies may support the purchase of a standing aid.

Prolonged standing may cause discomfort:
  • Pain
  • Circulation problems
  • Disc problems
  • Cramping and hardening
  • Varicose veins
Work better with an ergonomic stand-up stool

An ergonomic standing aid not only relieves the strain on the legs and back. The slight forward tilt of the seat ensures a straight and healthy posture for the back, which relieves pressure on the lumbar spine. This prevents the so-called “hunched back”. In addition, an ergonomic standing aid brings movement into the working day. Tiredness and exhaustion can be counteracted in this way. Dynamic standing ensures a regular change of position and posture. This actively prevents incorrect posture. At the same time, the movable support foot counteracts the monotony of movement at a standing workstation. The important thing with an ergonomic standing aid is that it is infinitely height-adjustable and can therefore be ideally adapted to any body size. This is the only way to effectively prevent back pain. It is generally recommended to integrate more movement into the working day and to alternate between sitting and standing positions. If this regular change is not possible at your own desk, it makes sense to hold meetings standing up. For longer meetings, it is advisable to use a back-friendly standing aid. This takes the strain off the spine in every meeting and trains coordination and balance.

Qualities that an ergonomic stool should have
  • Secure and tip-resistant base
  • Continuously height-adjustable
  • Sturdy construction
  • Stable yet movable seat surface
Physical relief through an ergonomic height-adjustable stool

The ideal situation for the body is the regular alternation between stressing the back while standing and relieving it while sitting. This is not possible at many workplaces. Particularly in production, most jobs involve standing workstations, making it difficult to work while seated. A back-friendly standing aid can reduce the strain on the body by up to 60 percent. A fully movable standing column encourages dynamic standing and additional movement. At the same time, the range of motion is not restricted by a seated position.

Comfortable trade show appearances with an ergonomic height-adjustable stool

At trade show booths, employees stand all day, and conversations typically take place at elevated standing tables. In addition to the stress of the event, this can be extremely tiring and physically demanding. A dynamic height-adjustable stool at the booth not only looks good but also relieves employees without making them appear disengaged due to a seated posture. For booth visitors, a standing aid is also inviting and allows for more comfortable conversations. A standing stool is not only useful at trade shows. At information points, consultation counters, and workshops, employees can enjoy the comfort of relieving their backs and legs, allowing them to be more productive throughout the day.

Ergonomic, height adjustable stool in the household

Not only in research and industrial standing work environments is the use of a height-adjustable standing aid beneficial. In the household as well, people stand for extended periods. During activities like ironing or cooking, an ergonomic standing aid can be very relieving and help prevent back problems. Standing aids are also useful at elevated counters in the kitchen.
