Wallaby Junior

The Wallaby Junior is an adjustable height desk which converts any ordinary desk into a sit-stand desk. It is free-standing (no clamping required) and easily moved to any position on the desk. The main keyboard platform adjusts up or down with the assistance of a gas cylinder (or lift), making quick adjustments throughout the day easy and effortless. This platform is generous compared to most keyboard trays at 24" wide and 18" deep and can be adjusted up to 16.5" above the desk. With the "stopping bolt" feature, the user can raise the platform to a preset desired height every time. All Kangaroo models also include a stabilization leg to practically eliminate worksurface vibration.

A single monitor is attached to a monitor mount (or bracket) using the standard VESA plates requiring 75 or 100 mm hole patterns. The monitor mount allows for panning, tilting, or rotating the monitor from landscape to portrait positions. Unlike the Kangaroo and Kangaroo Junior models, however, the Wallaby Junior is designed so that the user sets the monitor at a desired height and it stays locked in that position relative to the keyboard platform. The monitor will then always move in unison with the platform. There is a 7 inch height range to set the monitor to the desired position.

The Wallaby Junior is recommended for monitors up to 12 lbs (without stand attached). For heavier monitors, customized units can be special ordered upon request.

Available in black colour only. Additional accessories to extend the worksurface are also available.

• Free Standing (Drill and Clamp-Free): The Wallaby Junior is ideal for organizations that prohibit drilling into the desk, or clamping onto its edge. A heavy solid steel base allows the unit to be positioned on a desk top without creating a tipping hazard. Felt pads underneath the base prevent scuffing or scratching of the desktop.
• Easily Moved Base: Non-marking felt pads on the base of the Wallaby Junior enable users to slide it easily out of the way to access the desk top or to reposition the unit to a better location.
• Single Monitor Mounting: The Wallaby Junior allows one monitor to be mounted on a single mount. The monitor must be VESA compatible with a hole pattern of 75 x 75 or 100 x 100 millimeters and may weight up to 12 lbs (not including any monitor stand).
• Stopping Bolt: The stopping bolt allows the user to set the desk at the preferred height for standing, so that the platform will stop at the correct height automatically whenever the user turns the release on the gas cylinder.
• Stabilization Leg: Each Wallaby Junior unit comes with one stabilization leg, which greatly increases the stability of the main worksurface platform and vastly reduces vibration.
• Worksurface Extension Accessories: Optional accessories can be purchased to extend the worksurface on the sides and front.
• Single Colour Finish: The Wallaby Junior is available in Black colour only. Optional accessories can be purchased in the same finish.

• To adjust the keyboard platform downward with ease, apply an steady initial force at the back of the platform using both hands. If you have back problems that would make this type of movement difficult, go around to the back of your desk and do the same, so that you do not have to lean forward as much. If this, too, is a problem, ask someone else for assistance.
• Center the stabilization leg under the keyboard platform with the foot of the leg sitting on the metal base. This will allow you to reposition the Kangaroo on your desk without disturbing the stabilization leg.
• Move between standing and sitting on a regular basis. If you are just starting out with a sit-stand desk, maintain yourself in the standing position for brief intervals - don't try to stand for extended periods until your body has adjusted and become comfortable.
• If you find standing tiring, consider purchasing a quality anti-fatigue mat which can significantly increase your comfort by enabling your feet and legs to shift slightly while you work.
• Consider a 'leaning' style of seat rather than going back to the standard office chair. Using a seat such as this can ease the load on the feet and legs while still providing most of the benefits of the fully upright standing posture.
