Many of our clients spin the turntables on top of folding tables. They love our folding table risers that lift up the surface so they don’t have to crouch over their equipment.
Our friend Har Megiddo showed off how he uses our folding table risers on YouTube here.
We wanted to show love for our DJ clients by keeping them safe! Here are some tips for DJs to maintain their safety while they’re providing fun for their clients.
Ears
High decibels mean hearing loss, so plenty of DJs wear earplugs. This might make it harder for you to hear how loud it is in the room you’re playing, so watch your LED meters to gauge the volume.
Slips, trips and falls
You can’t do much about drunk customers spilling their drinks on the floor, but you can put a splash guard on the front of your console to help prevent them leaning over your equipment, drink in hand.
Taping down cords and removing any other trip hazards when you can will help you avoid the dangers of trips and falls.
Bring a flashlight with you so you can navigate in dark and badly lit rooms and hallways after your set is over.
Lights
If you work with lasers, make sure you set them high enough so no one will be looking right into them, as this causes eye damage.
Back strain
Use your legs to lift up heavy equipment like speakers so you don’t end up with back or other joint problems later on. If you’re lucky enough that there are no stairs at the venue, a small trolley works well for transporting your gear and keeping your back safe.
Does the venue have a folding table for your gear? Bring along a set of easy-to-install folding table risers to lift it up so you don’t end up with back strain during and after your set.
Electric shock
This is a lot less fun than the electric slide. Check your cables for cuts and wear, and if your gear is rattling inside due to a loose component don’t use it.
Another great way to avoid shock is to bring two residual current devices (RCDs). One for your lighting and one for your sound equipment will help you avoid the hazard.
Stay safe and party on!
If you’re a DJ and you have other safety hints, let us know in the comments!
I set up an area on my back porch for bleaching and dyeing shirts. Unfortunately, the tables I got didn't have adjustable heights. My back was constantly aching from bending over a table for prolonged periods. I ordered these after seeing all the reviews on Amazon. What a lifesaver! They went on so easily and the tables are super sturdy. Perfect height for working without pain!! Would recommend to anyone and everyone!
I ordered the wrong size from Amazon. When I tried to return them, Amazon directed me to the Lift Your Table company. I spoke with Bethany and she helped me figure out what size I need. She did not charge me for the additional expense of the larger size. She only charged me $15 for shipping. She told me that I didn’t need to return the original set but to gift them to someone who could use them. She was very professional and very kind. I highly recommend this “Made in America” company!
The NuChair design makes sense, so I bought one, and my staff love it! It does offload the low back when sitting and maintains tall strong sitting posture while sitting. In 40 years of practice I have never seen a chair that can deliver good ergonomics and postural support. The NuChair is the NuWay to get it done. Bravo.
These are a life-saver. I am going to get them for all of my work tables. No more hunching over! And, I can stand and work if I want to. We know that sitting is really bad for us. This was a VERY worthwhile purchase.
I am a DJ and I get tired of bending over all the time on a normal table. This thing did the trick! It puts everything at a much easier level so I can see it and reach for it so much easier.
Wow! These were the perfect solution to use at our food booth during a big event. Instead of purchasing another stainless steel prep table, we used these to elevate our normal 8′ tables and they were a lifesaver! Or should I say back-saver?
After a month, it’s really hard to complain about much regarding the chair. My shoulders, neck, and lower back all feel the difference, and as a 25 year tattooist, I feel the effects of work on my body. I train, stretch, and eat well, but also have a massive neck injury that has threatened to take me from my career, and it feels like this chair adds some years back!
My only suggestions would be for a more breathable, simple to clean material. Wearing jeans in this chair can get fairly sweaty, but I’m working around that.
Additionally, the other thought I had was to offer a shock height option for those of us that are tall. I suggested it already to the staff, and they provided me full specs on the current shock so I would be able to find a larger one utilizing the same width dimensions.
Great product, great communication, and a great company
