What bench height does the OF516 suit?

The OF516 is a high-height stool. Its seat adjusts from 555mm to 685mm, which suits standing benches finishing around 900 mm high. If you’re not sure, send us your bench height and we’ll confirm the right model.

What is the weight capacity of the OF516?

The OF516 is fitted with a 20-stone gas strut, which is approximately 127 kg.

Is the OF516 suitable for ESD workstations?

Yes. The OF516 is a fully earthed anti-static (ESD) stool. Every part is anti-static: the seat and backrest are earthed to the chassis, which connects through the chromed gas lift to the polished aluminium base and to ground via conductive ESD castors or glides. It has Hi-Tech Fabric or Medistat vinyl upholstery (both dissipative), with a resistance to ground that does not exceed 10^10 ohms, tested with an OHM-STAT megohmmeter. It suits ESD workstations, electronics assembly and static-sensitive labs.

Can I have feet or castors on the OF516?

The OF516 comes with ESD feet as standard. ESD castors and glides are available for a price uplift. All options keep the chair’s anti-static path to ground intact; soft-tyre castors are recommended for hard or vinyl flooring.

What guarantee and delivery apply to the OF516?

UK mainland delivery is included in the price. Delivery to the Scottish Highlands and Northern Ireland is quoted on request. Every stool comes with a 5-year guarantee against normal wear and tear from the date of delivery, used under normal conditions during a conventional working day. In a shift or 24/7 working environment the guarantee is 2 years from the date of delivery. Purchase orders accepted from schools, colleges, universities, NHS trusts, government organisations and registered businesses. VAT invoice supplied.

Description

The OF516 is a bench-height ESD anti-static stool with an upholstered vinyl seat and footring — a wipe-clean, static-dissipative seat with more give than solid PU, for standing electronics benches around 900 mm. Purchased over 1,651 times to date.

An ESD chair is built with static-dissipative materials throughout, so the chair itself does not accumulate charge. It protects the workpiece alongside — not instead of — wrist straps, grounded surfaces and ESD flooring. For seated positions, specify the desk-height OF512; where operators want a backrest for full shifts, see the 301. The lab chair height guide confirms the class.

Seat material

Upholstered static-dissipative vinyl — wipes clean between users. See the materials and colours page.

Feet or castors

Supplied with feet as standard, which is usually right for a tall chair at a standing bench. Castors are available at a price uplift — specify soft-tyre for hard or vinyl flooring, and lock-off or lock-down castors where the chair must stay put. Consider the safety requirements of your working environment before choosing castors on a high chair.
