About Ergoswiss
Ergoswiss AG, headquartered in Widnau in the St. Gallen Rhine Valley, develops and produces hydraulic and spindle lifting systems for height-adjustable workstations. The product range includes hydraulic lifting columns, spindle lifting columns, linear units, hydraulic table legs, hydraulic cylinders, pumps and drives, lifting castors, as well as complete table frames and SCT-type control units. The hydraulic cylinders consist of brass tubes with piston rods made of stainless steel; spindle systems use colorless anodized aluminium profiles or powder-coated steel guides with plastic gliders. The systems are used in mechanical engineering, in industry, in furniture and kitchen manufacturing, for laboratory furniture, catering kitchens, and for massage and examination tables. Services include a system configurator, an e-shop, downloadable CAD data (STP), battery solutions for spindle lifting systems, and retrofitting of existing workstations. Products are delivered to over 25 countries; together with Fraunhofer IPA, an ergonomics brochure has been published.
