If you’re constantly on the go, traveling and working in different places, you’ve probably been presented with the problem of how to work on your laptop in the car or in another unconventional place. Enter the Zepolla Innovations, LLC Utilishelf—your on-the-run desktop solution.

 

Designed as a creative solution to the long-standing problem of little-to-no surface space provided out in the field, the Utilishelf Plus is the world’s first portable magnetic desk for industry use. It can be used for test equipment, as a writing table, a laptop desk, a tablet desk or simply as a place to set down small items and tools as you work.

 

The Utilishelf Plus is constructed with military grade PC/ABS material. A vinyl pad on the inside provides a comfortable, stable surface for laptops and writing equipment. The unit weighs only 5.5 pounds, making it easy to transport throughout your workday. Three large magnets keep it securely attached to metal surfaces, and it can hold up to 30 pounds with help from two sturdy nylon support straps. The magnets can be adjusted for horizontal or vertical positions (such as l-beams), and cup protectors prevent damage to delicate surfaces, and this magnetic desk is di-electricity safe.

Different Types of Standing Desks

While research points to all standing desks offering long-term health benefits, it’s important to know that there are still many different kinds, each offering various design aspects and functions. 

Often, the first image that comes to mind when we think of a standing desk is an entirely separate unit with a preset height you cannot change. While this is certainly an option, others are available that may better suit your working needs and your office environment.

One such option is an adjustable-height standing desk. Unlike standing-height desks, the desktop can be raised or lowered to whatever level is desired. This makes sitting and standing possible with one unit without buying a counter-height stool or chair. One of the distinguishing features of adjustable standing desks is how they are lifted or operated.

Gas Lifts

Adjustable desks with a gas lift mechanism typically feature a lever control, allowing you to easily raise or lower the desk's surface. Gas lifts may also be called pneumatic lifts. Some adjustable height gas lift tables also feature rolling casters for a high level of mobility, making them ideal for the on-the-go worker.

Manual Lifts

As the name implies, these desks require manual effort when it comes to both lifting and lowering the surface of the desk or table. Many manual lifts feature a clip or screw clamp that you must fasten to hold the unit securely in place. Some may even feature a hand crank. While manual effort is required, these desks and tables are still easy to move up and down, as they feature a lightweight design.

Electronic Lifts

Adjustable desks that feature an electronic lift are perhaps the utmost in convenience, as the surface moves up and down via the touch of a button. It’s an incredibly easy-to-use feature that still allows maximum flexibility in your working environment. Due to their simple use and electrical components, this type of adjustable height desk tends to be more of an investment than the other options.

 

How to Prevent Office Fires

An office fire is the last thing on everyone's mind when they go to work; yet the potential danger of an office fire is an ever-present threat. In 2013, Richard Campbell from the National Fire Protection Association analyzed collected data from 2007-2011 to assess just how frequent structural fires were in office properties, as well as the financial impact and the trends that often lead up these incidents.
