Laboratory standing aids
A laboratory standing aid is the ideal solution for elevated workstations where standing for long periods becomes physically demanding. In many laboratories across the Benelux region, work at benches or technical stations requires a sustained standing position.
A standing aid combines the benefits of sitting and standing. It supports the body without restricting movement, improving comfort while reducing fatigue during extended working periods.
- Seat height: 620–850 mm
- Recommended working height: 850–1100 mm
- Base: Glides (maximum stability)
- Upholstery: Soft Touch PU ESD (seamless & conductive)
- Ergonomics: Relieves up to 60% of body weight

Which standing aid should you choose?
The right choice mainly depends on your working environment and whether ESD protection is required.
| Feature | Bimos FIN | Bimos FIN ESD |
|---|---|---|
| Application | Laboratory, industry, service | ESD-sensitive environments |
| Height adjustment | Gas spring (620 – 850 mm) | Gas spring (620 – 850 mm) |
| Dynamic working | Yes (swivel seat ±20°) | Yes (swivel seat ±20°) |
| Ergonomics | Inclined column + comfort seat | Inclined column + comfort seat |
| ESD compliant | No | Yes (EN 61340-5-1) |
| Best suited for | Ergonomic standing work | ESD workstations and electronics |
Summary: choose the standard FIN for general applications and the FIN ESD for environments requiring electrostatic protection.
Why a standing aid is essential for prolonged standing work
Working in a standing position for extended periods can lead to back pain, muscle tension, reduced blood circulation and joint stress. The human body is not designed to remain in one static position for long durations.
When standing still for too long, blood circulation in the legs decreases, which can cause fatigue and discomfort. Muscles, joints and the spine are continuously loaded, increasing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders.
A standing aid helps reduce this strain by partially supporting the body while still allowing movement. This promotes better circulation, reduces physical stress and improves overall working comfort.
Bimos FIN: the bridge between sitting and standing
The Bimos FIN standing aid is an innovative solution that bridges the gap between sitting and standing. It enables dynamic working without the need to fully sit or stand.
As highlighted in the brochure, the FIN can take up to 60% of body weight off the legs and feet and redistribute it ergonomically via the seat and the inclined column :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}. This reduces strain on muscles, joints and circulation while maintaining full freedom of movement.
Ergonomics, comfort and ease of use
The FIN standing aid is designed with a strong focus on ergonomics and usability:
- Stepless height adjustment with gas spring (620 – 850 mm)
- Forward-inclined column (4°) for optimal posture
- Extra-wide comfort seat in Soft Touch PU
- Swivel seat (±20°) for dynamic working
- Integrated handles for easy movement
- Robust aluminium frame
Thanks to its lightweight and compact design, the standing aid can easily be moved between different workstations, making it ideal for laboratories and technical environments across the Benelux region.
ESD standing aid for sensitive environments
For electrostatic-sensitive applications, the Bimos FIN ESD standing aid is the right choice. This version is electrically conductive and compliant with EN 61340-5-1, with a resistance of 106 Ohm.
This makes it suitable for electronics, microelectronics and cleanroom environments.
Dynamic working for healthier workplaces
A healthy working posture requires variation between sitting, standing and movement. In many standing workstations, this variation is difficult to achieve.
A standing aid provides an intermediate posture that encourages movement while reducing physical strain. This improves comfort, productivity and long-term health in demanding laboratory environments.
Combine standing aids with the right laboratory seating solutions
Laboratory standing aids are designed for workstations where standing work is common, while still providing ergonomic support when needed. They complement traditional laboratory chairs and improve overall workplace ergonomics.
- Laboratory chairs for long-duration seated work
- Labsit chairs for budget-friendly applications
- Nexxit chairs for shared and flexible workstations
- Neon chairs for maximum individual ergonomics
- Texon chairs for premium multi-user environments
- Laboratory stools for short and mobile tasks
- Footrests for elevated workstations
By combining standing aids with other seating solutions, you create a dynamic workstation that alternates between sitting and standing, improving employee health and productivity across the Benelux region.
