Monitor and laptop mount on one column, SolidHand-AL01M01

GTIN: 5907614666729 · SKU: SolidHand-AL01M01

The SolidHand-AL01M01 holds one monitor of 17 to 32 inches, up to 9 kg, and one laptop of 10 to 15.6 inches, up to 4 kg, on a single column fixed to the desk. The monitor sits on a three-joint arm with a VESA plate; the laptop rests on a ventilated tray carried by a second, lower arm. Both arms are clamped on the column, so each device is set to its own height and the desk below stays free.

SolidHand-AL01M01 monitor and laptop mount: column with the monitor arm, the lower arm with the laptop tray, desk clamp and grommet base

The box holds the complete mount and the hardware for both devices:

  • Mount — desk base with the clamp and the grommet fitting, column, monitor arm with the VESA plate, and the lower arm with the laptop tray
  • Mounting screws and washers
  • Assembly instructions

Before you start​

Assembly takes about twenty minutes. Prepare the following:

  • A second person — hanging the monitor on the arm is a two-person job
  • A screwdriver for the monitor screws
  • For grommet mounting on a desk without a hole: a drill
  • A check that the monitor is 17–32" and up to 9 kg with VESA 75 × 75 or 100 × 100 holes, and that the laptop is 10–15.6" and up to 4 kg
  • A check of the desktop — 10–85 mm thick for the clamp, 10–40 mm for the grommet mount, and solid enough to carry the mount with both devices
caution

Check that you have received all the parts listed above before you start. If anything is missing or damaged, contact us before assembling the mount.

Assembly​

Step 1 — Fix the base to the desk​

The base is fixed in one of two ways and the hardware for both is in the box. The clamp needs a free desk edge and leaves no trace; the grommet mount needs a hole in the desktop and keeps the base flush with it.

Clamp mounting

  1. Put the base on the edge of the desk, the pad on top of the desktop and the jaw underneath.
  2. Turn the clamp screw up against the underside of the desktop and tighten it firmly. The desktop may be 10 to 85 mm thick.
  3. Check that the base lies flat and the column stands vertical before you tighten fully.

Grommet mounting

  1. The desktop may be 10 to 40 mm thick. If there is no hole, drill one where the column is to stand.
  2. Put the base on the desk and pass the threaded bolt down through the hole.
  3. Fit the plate and the nut on the bolt underneath the desktop and tighten.

Step 2 — Set the column and both arms​

  1. Set the column in the base and tighten it.
  2. Slide the collar of the monitor arm onto the column at the height you want and tighten the screws on the collar.
  3. Slide the collar of the lower arm — the one that carries the laptop tray — onto the column below it and tighten it the same way.
  4. Leave enough distance between the two arms for the open laptop screen, and check it again once the laptop is on the tray.
note

There is no gas spring in this mount. The working height of each arm is set once, with the collar screws, and changed later by loosening the same screws — not by pushing the screen up or down.

Step 3 — Hang the monitor​

  1. Screw the supplied screws with washers into the VESA holes on the back of the monitor. The plate on the arm matches both the 75 × 75 mm and the 100 × 100 mm pattern.
  2. With a second person holding the monitor, put it against the VESA plate on the end of the upper arm and tighten the screws. Do not overtighten them.
  3. Check that the monitor is held at all four points before you let go of it.
caution

Do not let go of the screen until all four screws are seated and tightened. A monitor dropped from the arm damages both the screen and the mount.

Step 4 — Fit the laptop tray and the laptop​

  1. Fasten the tray to the VESA plate on the end of the lower arm with the supplied screws.
  2. Set the two side holders to the width of your laptop — they slide between 240 and 420 mm.
  3. Put the laptop on the tray, push it back against the rear stop and let the front lip hold its edge.
  4. Open the laptop and check that its screen clears the monitor arm through the whole swing of both arms.

Step 5 — Route the cables and set the position​

  1. Lay the monitor and the laptop cables along the arms and clip them into the holders on the arms and on the column.
  2. Leave enough slack for the full swing of both arms — a taut cable pulls on the ports every time a screen is moved.
  3. Set the height, the reach and the angle of both screens, then run through the whole range of movement once more.

Using the mount​

With both arms set, the mount is a two-screen workstation on the footprint of a single column:

  • The monitor is the main screen — set its top edge at about eye level and its distance at arm’s length
  • The laptop works as the second screen beside it, lifted off the desk, with air under the tray
  • Both arms swing aside when the desk is needed for something else and come back to the same position
  • Keep within the ratings: 9 kg on the monitor arm, 4 kg on the tray
  • Nothing but the base rests on the desk, so the surface stays clear for a keyboard and documents

Safety instructions​

Failure to read, understand and follow all instructions can result in serious personal injury or damage to equipment.

  • Using the mount with a load above the rated capacity makes it unstable and can lead to injury.
  • Follow the assembly instructions exactly. Incorrect installation can cause damage or serious personal injury.
  • Use proper safety measures and the right tools. The product should be installed by professionals.
  • Make sure the supporting surface will safely carry the combined weight of the equipment and of all mounting parts and components.
  • Use the supplied mounting screws and do not overtighten them.
  • The product contains small parts that can be a choking hazard if swallowed. Keep them away from children.
  • The product is intended for indoor use only. Outdoor use can lead to failure of the product and to personal injury.

Frequently asked questions​

What monitor sizes and standards are supported?
Monitors from 17 to 32 inches with VESA 75 × 75 mm or 100 × 100 mm holes on the back — that covers most desktop monitors sold today.
What are the maximum load capacities?
The arm holds a monitor of up to 9 kg, and the laptop tray takes up to 4 kg.
How can I mount the stand to my desk?
Two ways, both in the box: an edge clamp with a tightening screw for a desktop 10 to 85 mm thick, or a grommet fitting through a hole in the desktop, for a desktop 10 to 40 mm thick.
What range of motion does the arm provide?
The monitor turns ±180° on the VESA plate and tilts +45° / −45°, and each of the three arm joints swivels ±90°. The maximum reach from the column is 376 mm.
Which laptops fit on the tray?
Laptops of 10 to 15.6 inches weighing up to 4 kg. The two side holders slide between 240 and 420 mm, so the tray is set to the width of the machine.
Can I change the height after assembly?
Yes. Each arm is clamped on the column with its own collar screws — loosen them, slide the arm to the new height and tighten again. There is no gas spring, so the height is set with a tool rather than by hand.
