The Tread The Tread is the heart of the TreadDesk system and the specs are as follows: - The belt measures 18" x 48" - Dimensions are 58" x 24" x 4.5" - Total weight of 101 lbs. - Driven by a 2 hp 90 volt electric motor - Pulls 14 amps at full speed - 4 adjustable feet underneath - Soft start and stop - Weight limit for users is 300 lbs. - Unit price is $755.00
Our proprietary control panel sits on top of the desk and is attached to the Tread with a 6' electrical wire. The control panel keeps track of distance, time, speed and calories burned. There is also an emergency shut off cord which should be clipped onto the users clothes.
In order to be as productive as you would be when sitting, most people find walking between 1.0-2.0 mph the ideal speed. Any faster than that and your typing will start to slow down and talking on the phone becomes more difficult.
If you would like more of a cardio workout, walking at a 4.0 mph pace will give you that, but do not expect to get any typing done at this speed. For safety reasons, we have limited the speed of the Tread to 4.0.
