Technical Narrative
The TrippNT 53981 Height Adjustable Companion Cart is a lightweight pneumatic workstation on wheels — a 19⅞ × 17½″ (W × D) HDPE desktop cart with a pneumatic one-handed height adjustment range of 30 to 47 inches that enables seamless sit-to-stand transitioning during mobile clinical or laboratory workflows. The HDPE desktop is chemical-resistant, moisture-resistant, and cleanable with IPA, bleach, and standard surface decontamination agents. An integrated Velcro strap secures a laptop, tablet, or chart to the desktop during transport. The H-shaped base keeps the user’s feet clear of the cart frame at all height positions, maintaining ergonomic posture during extended use. At 22 lb, the 53981 moves on four smooth-gliding casters (2 lockable) with minimal push force. Ships fully assembled.
The 53981 is TrippNT’s ergonomic mobile workstation for clinical and research workflows requiring an adjustable-height, portable desktop that follows the user across positions within a unit, room, or laboratory bay — patient documentation at the bedside, protocol reference at the bench, or chart review in a hallway position. HDPE construction maintains the chemical-resistance and cleanability standard across the TrippNT product line. Available at $492.19.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the pneumatic height adjustment work on the 53981, and what is the actual usable height range?
The 53981 uses a pneumatic gas cylinder column — the user presses a lever or paddle on the column and applies gentle upward or downward pressure to raise or lower the desktop to the desired height, then releases the lever to lock the desktop at that position. One hand operates the adjustment; no tools are required. The height range is 30 to 47 inches from floor to desktop top surface — covering seated-to-standing height transitions for average-height users. The H-shaped base keeps the user’s feet clear of the cart frame at all positions, maintaining comfortable posture throughout the adjustment range.
What is the institutional pricing structure for the 53981, and can it be ordered alongside TrippNT carts in the same transaction?

Volume discounts apply at checkout by quantity. The 53981 can be included in the same institutional order as any other TrippNT laboratory or clinical cart — programs equipping nursing units or laboratory bays with both mobile supply carts and mobile documentation stations can be fulfilled in a single institutional transaction.
