Wheelchair Accessible Tables Buying Guide
The right wheelchair accessible table can give students a comfortable learning environment. Here are some things to think about to help you accommodate students of all needs and abilities: ADA Requirements Configuration Adjusting Method Hand Crank tables require more effort to adjust but are lower in price. Like motorized tables, they can lift up to 450 pounds but are more difficult for some students to operate alone. Knob Adjustable tables are the least expensive but take the most effort to raise or lower. Each leg must be adjusted separately with a turnable knob. ![]() Top Tilt-adjustable - Others adjust in a tilt as well up and down, generally from zero to 50 degrees. Tiltable tables are less versatile but provide a better work surface for activities like art projects that require an angle. Accessories Comfort Recess - A cutout curve in the tabletop lets students sit closer to their work surface, making it easier to reach books and materials. ![]() CPU Holder – A holder attaches to the underside of the tabletop and keeps your CPU out of the way. It provides room for bulkier wheelchairs while still allowing students to access computer towers. Cable Management – A grommet hole can help route your cords, and an optional cable freeway keeps them out of the way and from tangling up in chair wheels. Both are inexpensive ways to offer a safer learning environment. Moveable Keyboard and Mouse Tray – An articulating keyboard arm and tilting mouse tray will let your students move computer equipment to fit their needs, rather than the other way around.
