High-quality systems
At LINAK, we design and manufacture many types of electric lifting columns. They come with various speeds, stroke lengths, and capacities, and are ideal for height-adjustable, sit-stand desks, but are also widely used in both medical applications and various industrial production facilities. Our lifting columns utilise linear actuator technology to bring you precise movement and flexibility.
At LINAK, we always think in complete systems. This means that no matter the application, we deliver complete solutions. From lifting columns to control units, accessories to cables, our plug-and-play approach ensures every component fits together effortlessly. Experience the ease and efficiency of a fully integrated system with LINAK.
LINAK lifting columns are a worldwide benchmark when it comes to reliable, low-noise and energy-efficient height adjustment. Elegantly designed and made to be extremely easy to mount and integrate, a LINAK lifting column is designed for easy installation.
With an extensive product programme, it is easy to find the right lifting column for your designs or applications. In addition to the large variety of options, there are also ways the lifting columns can be customised to fit your needs.
With six global manufacturing locations, we can build your custom system and ship it to you promptly. Contact us to start building the right lifting column solution for your movement needs.
Lifting column business areas
Our lifting columns can be found anywhere: in homes, offices, hospitals, factories, and many other places. They bring movement to furniture and other applications in a variety of ways – from small, precise adjustments to powerful, quick adjustments. The movement that lifting columns provide can help improve ergonomics across these environments – offering a flexible solution that supports a wide range of needs.
While our products are often found in large applications, we can also add movement to small, individual designs. From privacy panels to monitor screens, our lifting columns bring smooth, reliable movement to your designs and can help redefine how people interact with their workspace.
The LINAK story of lifting columns for offices
Many design trends have changed the office environment over the years, but few have positively affected the individual user in a workspace quite like the electric sit-stand desk. Though standing desks and standing tables have been around for centuries, the technology behind the electric sit-stand desk has only been available for just over 25 years.
In late 1998, LINAK caught the industry by surprise and launched its first-ever complete electric height-adjustable system for desks. The system included a desk panel switch to easily adjust height, an advanced control box for smooth desk movement, and a revolutionary “electric leg” for desks called DESK LIFT 1 (DL1). Since then, LINAK has innovated many firsts for the office furniture industry. Whether you need advanced movement for a completely new office furniture design or are looking for a better-quality system to suit your desk products, LINAK is here to help.
Electric lifting columns in sit-stand tables or height-adjustable desks are increasingly common in modern offices, where ergonomics also play an important part in workplace satisfaction and productivity. However, they are also often used in conference tables, flight control workstations, stockbroker consoles, and even kitchens.
Often referred to as desk legs, electric linear actuator lifting columns bring movement to desks and allow users to easily go from sitting to standing while working. To add to the range of options for height adjustability, the telescopic lifting columns can be both two- and three-stage.
They can also be added to furniture either as a single column or as a parallel system consisting of two, three, or four columns. The multi-parallel systems allow up to 16 columns to be connected in a series.
The columns come in standard white, black, or grey colours, or you can pick your own colour to use for your application.
Good to know
Telescopic linear actuator is another term for a lifting column.
Electric lifting columns with motor housing for standing desks
The main benefit of electric lifting columns with motor housing from LINAK is that they all match the same frame construction. This means that choosing one design over another does not impact the choice of frame and leaves you with more design freedom.
In addition, you can choose between profile, colour, height, load, speed, invisible gliding pads, and integrated features in this category. Furthermore, LINAK lifting columns are designed for easy mounting in your furniture.

Inline electric lifting columns for standing desks
The primary advantage of the LINAK range of inline columns is the freedom to design the frame construction. The inline lifting columns are specifically designed for desks without crossbars to offer more legroom and design possibilities. They are also widely used in medical and industrial applications.

Lifting columns for medical equipment applications
In hospitals and medical centres, you will find LINAK lifting columns adding movement to X-ray, surgery tables, and dental chairs.
The integrated electric movement helps support ergonomic workflows by reducing the need for manual adjustments during long and demanding shifts.
Where more power is needed, lifting columns such as the LC3 can push up to 6,000 N (~600 kg), enabling a wide range of design possibilities.
Lifting columns for industry
In factories, ergonomics also play an important part, from workstations to conveyor belts, assembly lines, or collaborative robots. This is why we continue to see great interest in implementing movement into manufacturing facilities.
The proper height of working surfaces will increase ergonomics substantially for employees, and some of the less ergonomic lifts can be replaced by cobot palletisers. These are just some of the ways in which electric lifting columns can be integrated into material handling solutions and production facilities to improve ergonomics and efficiency.
Lifting columns for TV and monitor stands
The electric lifting columns from LINAK provide adjustment of monitors, large displays, and screens, as well as smaller integrated displays or screens. The electric lifting columns are often found in media stands, especially in auditoriums, showrooms, meeting or conference rooms, as well as in private homes.
By adding electric movement to these applications, you create a media stand product with low-noise adjustment to improve ergonomics for users and spectators. In addition, battery solutions for display stands or monitor stands enhance the mobility of these products, making them even more convenient to use. The more static nature of a TV lift benefits from a compact system, which allows for integration into various types of furniture.
Lifting columns for consoles
Electric lifting columns play a key role in improving ergonomics in consoles or workstations in control rooms. Adjusting these relatively heavy setups, found in many command rooms or control rooms, requires power and precision, which electric lifting columns can provide. By integrating electric adjustment, these mission-critical applications benefit from an ergonomic boost, which improves working conditions for employees.
Lifting columns for trading desks
It is also possible to improve ergonomics in technical workstations, such as trading desks, by adding electric adjustment with lifting columns. To counterbalance demanding work environments that require sustained concentration, the ergonomics provided by a well-designed workstation play an important role in supporting both job satisfaction and productivity.
Testing lifting columns and telescopic linear actuators
We understand the importance of reliable performance for your lifting column application. We conduct a variety of tests that push the lifting columns to extremes. This ensures optimal performance throughout their entire service life.
Finding the right balance between friction and deflection (movement), while controlling tolerances in the manufacturing process, is paramount in producing lifting columns. LINAK focuses on minimising the amount of friction while simultaneously reducing the amount of deflection, helping to ensure a stable leg – today and in the future. To uphold our commitment to quality, every LINAK lifting column is tested through our rigorous stability process, ensuring consistent reliability and performance in every product delivered.
Each LINAK lifting column and telescopic linear actuator undergoes a full function test before leaving production, ensuring a product you can depend on for years. Visit the page ‘Extensive testing – trust your industrial actuator’ to learn more about the testing procedures used to measure performance, durability, and resistance.
