Ergotron Vertical Lift Auto-Retracting Keyboard Kit
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Ergotron Vertical Lift Auto-Retracting Keyboard Kit (97-487-800) - Local Warranty
Retracts the Keyboard Automatically When the Workstation Is Not in Use
Ergotron's own description states the purpose plainly: the kit automatically retracts the keyboard into the storage position when the system is not in use. In a corridor or a busy ward, a keyboard tray left extended is an obstruction and a knock waiting to happen; this removes the need for anyone to remember to fold it away.
Offered by Ergotron to Help Meet Joint Commission Requirements
Ergotron positions the kit explicitly as facilitating compliance with The Joint Commission's requirements — the reason it exists is corridor clearance in healthcare settings. For Singapore hospitals, clinics and nursing homes working to equivalent egress and obstruction rules, that is the specification that matters.
A Retrofit for Installed StyleView Vertical Lift High Traffic Workstations
This is an optional kit for the StyleView Vertical Lift, High Traffic Area models — parts 60-593-216 (white) and 60-593-195 (black) — so an existing estate can be upgraded in place rather than replaced.

Compatibility & Fit
This kit is for the Ergotron StyleView Vertical Lift range, and Ergotron's own description names the High Traffic Area models specifically — 60-593-216 in white and 60-593-195 in black. It also appears in the accessory list of the StyleView Vertical Lift datasheet, which covers both the High Traffic Area and Patient Room (60-609) models without splitting the accessory by configuration.
One distinction worth getting right before ordering, because the names are close enough to cause a mis-order: the StyleView Sit-Stand Vertical Lift (61-080 and 61-081) is a different range, and its High Traffic Area version already ships with an auto-retracting tray built in. This kit is not listed as an accessory for it.
Ergotron publishes no keyboard weight capacity, tray dimensions or adjustment range for the kit itself. For context, the parent Vertical Lift is rated by Ergotron at 8–33 lb (3.6–14.9 kg) for Patient Room and 5–30 lb (2.3–13.6 kg) for High Traffic Area, with 9" (22.9 cm) of vertical lift — figures that belong to the workstation, not to this kit.
Package Contents & StyleView Vertical Lift Ordering Information

Frequently Asked Questions — Ergotron Vertical Lift Auto-Retracting Keyboard Kit
What does the kit actually do?
It automatically retracts the keyboard into its storage position when the workstation is not in use, so the tray is not left projecting into a corridor or a ward.
Which workstations does it fit?
Ergotron names the StyleView Vertical Lift High Traffic Area models, 60-593-216 (white) and 60-593-195 (black). It is also listed on the datasheet that covers the Patient Room models — ask us to confirm for a 60-609 unit.
Will it fit the StyleView Sit-Stand Vertical Lift?
No, and it should not be needed: that is a different range (61-080 / 61-081), and its High Traffic Area version already includes an auto-retracting tray.
Why is this relevant to compliance?
Ergotron offers it to facilitate compliance with The Joint Commission's requirements, which govern corridor obstruction in healthcare facilities. Singapore facilities working to equivalent egress rules use it for the same reason.
How much can the keyboard tray hold once the kit is fitted?
Ergotron publishes no capacity for the kit. The workstation's own rating governs — 5–30 lb (2.3–13.6 kg) on the High Traffic Area Vertical Lift.
Can it be retrofitted to an installed workstation?
Yes. Ergotron sells it as an optional kit for the Vertical Lift, which is what makes it useful for upgrading an existing estate rather than replacing it.
Does it come with a warranty in Singapore?
Yes. Every Ergotron Vertical Lift Auto-Retracting Keyboard Kit sold by SourceIT comes with local Singapore warranty and a GST invoice. Ergotron's current published warranty schedule (rev. 4 August 2026) sets terms by product category and has no category covering accessories or kits of this type, so we do not quote a manufacturer duration on this page — ask us and we will confirm the current term with Ergotron for your order.
