Frequently Asked Questions
What size desktop fits a manual crank desk frame?
The Solo Manual Sit Stand Desk Frame is suitable for tops ranging in width from 1150 mm to 1800 mm.
How do I check whether a desktop is compatible with a desk frame?
First, verify the desktop width falls within your frame's range (usually 1150-1800 mm). Check that mounting holes align with your frame's bracket positions, most frames use standard hole patterns. Ensure the desktop thickness is at least 18 mm for stability. Finally, confirm the combined weight of desktop and equipment doesn't exceed your frame's capacity, typically 80 kg for manual crank models.
How much weight can a hand-crank desk frame support?
The Solo Manual Sit Stand Desk Frame supports up to 80 kg.
Is a wider desktop harder to raise with a manual crank?
Yes, wider desktops require more effort to adjust because weight is distributed across a larger surface area. An 1800 mm desktop will feel noticeably heavier to crank than a 1200 mm one, especially when fully loaded. If you prefer easier manual adjustment, opt for a narrower desktop (1200-1400 mm) or consider an electric frame if you'll be adjusting frequently throughout the day.
