Product Information
Full details
The TC Hi-Rise Adjustable Draughting Kit is an essential upgrade for professionals working in laboratory or industrial environments who need to convert their standard TC factory chair into a high-rise workstation solution. This kit provides a significant boost in height and ergonomic support via an adjustable footring, offering increased versatility for elevated work surfaces; however, it is critical to note that this kit must never be installed on chairs with tilting seat mechanisms to maintain user safety and structural integrity.

FAQs
Can I use this kit on a chair with a tilting seat?
No, this kit is strictly prohibited for use on chairs with tilting seat mechanisms due to safety risks.
Does this kit include everything I need to install it?
Yes, the package includes the high-rise gas lift, the adjustable footring, a set of glides, and all required fixings.
Why does the kit include glides instead of wheels?
Glides provide necessary stability for high-rise seating, preventing the chair from rolling away while the user is elevated.
Is this compatible with non-TC chairs?
The kit is designed for use with TC factory chairs; compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed.
How do I adjust the height of the footring?
The footring features a manual adjustment mechanism that can be loosened, moved to your desired height, and then tightened into place.
Troubleshooting
Chair height will not stay adjusted
Verify that the gas lift is fully seated in both the chair base and the seat mechanism; check for any obstructions in the mounting points.
Footring slips during use
Re-tighten the adjustment collar on the footring; ensure the threading is clean and free of debris.
Chair feels unstable
Ensure all glides are pushed completely into the base and that the floor surface is flat and level.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly increases seat height for elevated workspaces
- Promotes ergonomic posture with an integrated, adjustable footring
- Fixed glides provide superior stability compared to rolling castors
- Complete kit includes all necessary fixings for quick installation
Cons
- Not compatible with chairs featuring tilting seat mechanisms
- Eliminates mobility as the chair becomes stationary after installation
- Limited to specific TC brand factory chair models
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires removing the existing gas lift and castor base from your TC chair. Before beginning, ensure the chair is fully inverted and verify that the seat mechanism is strictly non-tilting; using this kit on a tilting chair can lead to instability and injury. To install, remove the old cylinder using a soft-faced mallet, insert the new high-rise gas lift into the chair base, and attach the footring according to the provided instructions. Replace the old castors with the included glides by pushing them firmly into the base sockets. For ongoing care, periodically check that the footring tightening mechanism remains secure and wipe the gas lift with a clean cloth to remove debris that might impede smooth height adjustments.
