ADA Compliant Writing Table Adapter: The Simple Solution to a Smarter Queue

Have you ever waited in line at the DMV with a clipboard on your knee and nowhere to write? Or watched travelers awkwardly filling out customs forms while standing in line? These common frustrations don’t need expensive solutions. All it takes is a smart, practical tool like the writing table adapter. This adapter allows the height of your stanchion top writing table to be easily adjusted.

Traditional stanchion top writing tables are great but they are limited to a fixed height as they can only be attached to the top of a stanchion, and are not fully ADA compliant. The writing table adapter helps to fix this issue.

What Is a Writing Table Adapter?

The adapter is a specially designed accessory that attaches directly to a stanchion post. It includes two main components:

• A custom-engineered post collar that securely mounts the attachment plate to the stanchion
• A durable attachment plate that serves as a stable attachment area to secure your writing table

This design removes the writing table from the top of the stanchion and allows you to adjust its height, making it not only more adaptable but also ADA-compliant. Installation and height adjustment is easy using the Allen key provided.

ADA Compliance with our Writing Table Adapter

We developed these adapters to ensure our products meet ADA compliance standards. By enabling adjustable height and more flexible positioning, these adapters make your writing tables more accessible to customers using a wheelchair. This improvement reflects our commitment to offering the most comprehensive range of crowd control products on the market. Additionally, we’ve made several enhancements to our collar system, including the removal of panel notches for a cleaner, more streamlined look, and the addition of full-height screw holes for increased strength and stability.

Best Places to Use a Writing Table Adapter

This accessory is especially useful in locations where customers or visitors need to fill out documents while standing or sitting in cases of impaired individuals. Examples of uses include:

• Airports: Ideal for customs or immigration lines where travelers need to complete forms
• DMVs & Government Offices: Offers a stable surface for applications and ID forms
• Banks: Serves as a quick signing station for slips, checks, or contracts
• Event Venues: Great for waivers, check-in sheets, or registration forms

Thanks to its compact design and easy installation, the writing table adapter is also perfect for temporary setups or frequently changing queue configurations.
