Abstract
A mobile workstation comprises a wheeled base, a height-adjustable post assembly fixedly coupled to the rear end of the wheeled base, and a tray assembly fixedly coupled to the top of the post assembly. The post assembly has a four-post construction, with upper and lower vertical posts pivotally connected to a pair of linking posts. To accommodate different users, the post assembly is designed to articulate between an upper position and a lower position through a primarily vertical travel path. The four-post construction of the post assembly disperses the weight of the tray assembly, thereby reducing the manual force required to implement height adjustment. The planar, primarily vertical, travel path undertaken by the post assembly during height adjustment maintains the workstation center of gravity to a centralized location in the base, thereby minimizing the use of counterbalances to ensure stability. As a result, the workstation is lightweight and easily maneuverable.
