How to choose a desk lift

All Mighty King lifts carry the same 600 lb rating; the duty levels differ in caster size, which decides how they roll over carpet, thresholds, and elevator gaps.

  • Smooth tile or polished concrete: the standard Model 2000 is enough.
  • Commercial carpet or carpet tile: Model 2300 (3" casters) or 3500 (3-1/2" casters) roll noticeably easier under load.
  • Thresholds, elevator sills, long corridor runs: Model 4000 with 4" casters is the fleet workhorse for movers and facilities teams.
  • Cube and panel-system desks: the adjustable Model 4108 clamps 26-1/2" to 38" widths.
  • Single-pedestal desks and computer tables: add the Model 1800 or 1600 attachment (250 lb each) instead of buying a second machine.

Engineer tip

NIOSH caps the recommended weight for a single manual lift at 51 lb, and a loaded double-pedestal desk runs 300 lb or more. That is the whole case for a desk lift: the machine takes the lift, your crew takes the steering. On carpet, always buy one caster size up from what looks sufficient, rolling resistance under 600 lb roughly doubles from hard floor to commercial carpet.

Desk lift questions, answered

Can one person really move a loaded desk?

Yes. The Mighty King lift tilts the desk a few inches, takes the full 600 lb on its frame, and rolls on non-marring casters. Drawers stay in, contents stay in, no disassembly. One mover handles what used to be a two or three person carry.

Which model do I need for carpeted offices?

Model 3500 with 3-1/2" casters is the sweet spot for commercial carpet. If the route includes door thresholds or elevator sills, go to Model 4000 with 4" casters. Larger wheels cut rolling resistance under load.

Do desk lifts work on cube and panel-system desks?

Yes, use the adjustable Model 4108, which fits widths from 26-1/2" to 38". For conventional desks, standard Mighty King models fit 32", 40", and 46" widths.

Can I move file cabinets with these?

Use the Karry King lever-lift file dollies: Model 3215 for letter, 3218 for legal, 3220 for extra-wide cabinets, each rated 600 lb. Empty the top two drawers of tall cabinets before moving for stability.

What replacement parts are available?

Handles, trip locks, height attachments, and complete non-marring caster sets for every Mighty King model are stocked as genuine Raymond OEM parts.
