| Product Summary |
---|
The Kangaroo Tri-Elite is an adjustable height desk that converts any ordinary desk into a sit-stand desk. It is identical to the Kangaroo Elite with the exception that it can accommodate three monitors instead of two (the Tri-Elite's crossbar is hinged on both sides unlike the dual Elite). The unit 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 28" wide and 24" deep and can be adjusted up to 16.5" above the desk. With the "stopping bolt" feature, the the platform can be elevated to a preset desired height every time. All Kangaroo models also include a stabilization leg to practically eliminate worksurface vibration.
Monitors are attached to monitor mounts (or brackets) using the standard VESA plates requiring 75 or 100 mm hole patterns. These monitor mounts allow for panning, tilting, or rotating the monitors from landscape to portrait positions. In addition, the monitors can also be height-adjusted independent of the keyboard platform using a separate gas cylinder mechanism with a vertical range of 6.5").
The Kangaroo Tri-Elite is recommended for monitors up to 10 lbs each (without stand attached) and not more than 22.5" wide (not diagonally but from side to side). For heavier monitors, customized units can be special ordered upon request.
Available colour options include Black, Cherry, and Maple. Additional accessories to extend the worksurface are also available. | Ergonomic Benefits |
---|
Reduces the Risks Associated with Extended Sitting - Studies have shown that sitting (and even standing) for prolonged periods of time is a risk factor for health. For those who work at stationary workstations, a desk that gives the user the option to sit and stand throughout the day will help break up those prolonged periods of unhealthy stationary work. The Kangaroo Tri-Elite allows the user to adjust the height of the workstation to accommodate both sitting and standing positions whenever desired.
Reduces the Risk of Neck Injury - One of several key risk factors for injury in an office setting is an improperly positioned monitor. A good sit-stand desk will help eliminate that problem by allowing independent height adjustment for the monitor relative to the worksurface on which the keyboard and mouse are situated. The Kangaroo Tri-Elite has 6.5" of independent adjustment to play with, making it easier to adjust the monitor height to a position that is optimal, whether it be for sitting or standing. Learn More About Improper Monitor Position.
Reduces the Risks Associated with Overreaching - Unlike many other retrofit sit-stand desks, the Kangaroo Tri-Elite provides a generous 28” x 22” working area with plenty of real estate for the keyboard, mouse and other office devices such as calculators, phones, and tablets.

- Free Standing (Drill and Clamp-Free): The Kangaroo Tri-Elite 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.
- Independent Monitor Height Adjustment: 6.5" of independent height adjustment is available via a gas lift mechanism and monitor brake. These two features enable the keyboard platform to be raised and lowered effortlessly, and secured firmly in place at the desired height. Most individuals will need to adjust the monitor height relative to the keyboard platform only once.
- Felt Pads on the Base: Non-marking felt pads on the base of the Kangaroo Tri-Elite let the unit be easily slid out of the way to access the desk top or to reposition the unit to a better location.
- Triple Monitor Mounting: The Kangaroo Tri-Elite allows three monitors to be mounted on a single crossbar. The monitors can be positioned anywhere along the crossbar for optimal viewing. Monitors must be VESA compatible with a hole pattern of 75 x 75 or 100 x 100 millimeters, and also less that 22.5" wide (not diagonally) and up to 10 lbs each (not including any monitor stand).
- Stopping Bolt: The stopping bolt facilitates the setting of a maximum preferred height for standing, so that the platform will stop at the correct height automatically whenever the the adjustment lock is released.
- Stabilization Leg: Each Kangaroo unit comes with one stabilization leg, which greatly increases the stability of the main worksurface platform and vastly reduces vibration.
- Work Extension Accessories: Optional accessories can be purchased to extend the worksurface on the sides and front.
- Multiple Colour Finishes: All Kangaroo units are available in four colours: Black, Cherry, Maple, and Putty (by special order only). Optional accessories can be purchased in the same finish.

| Usage Tips |
---|
- 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.
