IAC offers frame-mounted footrests that address a wide range of workstation needs. Workstations with suspended cabinets may require use of free-standing footrests for proper clearance.
Four important aspects are involved in selecting effective footrests:
1. Area
The minimum dimensions of a footrest should ensure it is at least as wide as a person‘s hips and deep enough to support the foot comfortably. All IAC footrest models with pans meet this design objective.
2. Angle
A footrest that slopes upward and away is more comfortable for a seated worker than a flat one. All IAC footrest pans can be positioned anywhere from flat to an elevation of 90° and beyond to suit workers’ preferences.
3. Non-skid surface
IAC footrest pans utilize “Safety Walk” non-skid surfaces that feature a gritty texture. This surface helps keep the feet in place without the worker having to exert muscular effort.
4. Easy to Re-position
For maximum flexibility and convenience, a footrest should be readily adjustable by the user. Most IAC footrests allow the worker to alter height and incline adjustments easily for individual needs.
