Stationary Tables
What are the different styles of stationary massage tables?
Compared to portable massage tables, stationary tables are more versatile and often have embedded storage, giving you more enhanced massage table options. A classic stationary table is made of hardwood, thick high-quality padding, and heavy-duty vinyl upholstery. For a little extra, you can get a model with an adjustable backrest and a storage shelf. You can also add a table extender to comfortably accommodate taller clients. If the standard treatment table does not meet all your needs, you can opt for a compact Shiatsu table, which is ideal for sports and deep tissue massage, or a stationary wet table, specially designed for hydrotherapy treatments. In terms of height, stationary massage tables either come with adjustable height legs or more comfortable hydraulic lift systems, manual or electric.
What is a hydraulic massage table?
A hydraulic massage table comes with hydraulic lift actuators that help you easily adjust its height to ensure the most comfortable experience for both client and masseuse. Hydraulic stationary massage table models can be manual or electric. Manual lift systems with crank handles are more affordable, while electric ones with foot control are more convenient.
What is an electric massage table?
With an electric lift massage table, you can seamlessly raise and lower the height of the stationary table without interrupting the client's relaxation. Once you opt for an electric lift instead of a manual one, you open the door to even more possibilities. The most common upgrades include an integrated heated top, an adjustable breast comfort system, a hot towel cabinet, and a Bluetooth speaker. While you can also customize a manual hydraulic massage table with most of these upgrades, electric ones usually come with a power management system that removes power cord clutter, reducing trip hazards.
How much weight does a stationary massage table hold?
While they do not move around easily, stationary massage tables tend to provide more stability than portable ones and can generally hold more weight. Most stationary massage table packages with hydraulic lift actuators mention a working weight of 600-650 lbs. Some lightweight models have a lower threshold, around 500-550 lbs, whereas massage tables with height adjustable legs prove to be sturdier and can hold significantly more weight, even up to 1000 lbs.
What are Salon Top Tables used for?
The 'Salon Top Table' feature means that the stationary table has added functionality, being comfortable and adjustable for almost any spa treatment. Salon top tables typically come with motors that adjust the height, the backrest, and the part under the knees. Motors can also create a zero gravity chair. The most affordable top option for massage tables is the flat top and it can only be height-adjusted, requiring different types of positioning pillows to prop clients who have difficulty lying flat. The middle ground would be the lift-assisted backrest top which, like salon top tables, allows for an additional comfy upgrade: flex armrests.
Do all massage tables have a tilt function?
Not all stationary massage tables can be tilted. When placing your order, double-check the features to not accidentally confuse tilt with height adjustment, as most flat models have an adjustable height. If you want your massage table to have a tilt function, make sure it does not say 'flat top'. Instead, look for 'electric tilt', 'manual tilt', or 'salon'.
