The Motorized Apollo Workstation comes fully equipped with a throttle at the handle to power forwards and reverse movement, hydraulic brakes for precision control, top and bottom locking drawers, flat-proof tires, battery and power distribution plate (U.S.) for accessories.
The Motorized Apollo Workstation is essentially a complete Apollo workstation cart equipped with the Motorized Wheel System, Hydraulic Brake System, Power Distribution Plate, as well as Top and Bottom Locking Drawers.
The handle throttle assembly powers forward and reverse movement of the dual 10 in. rear wheels, for up to 15 hours or 40 miles of full throttle use. The power supply is integrated into the bottom shelf drawer and provides additional power distribution when charging to USB-A, USB-C and US Type B outlets.
The Hydraulic Brake System is ideal for maneuvering up or down ramps or hills with precision. This system is lever-actuated from the handle and applies control to the rear wheels for maximum braking power.
The Motorized Apollo is completely tool-less and it features top and bottom shelves that easily assemble without the use of tools. The Apollo has a fixed height of 40.5 in. providing a comfortable standing height work surface. The shelves feature hemmed edges for safety and boast a 56% increase in thickness compared to our lightweight workstations in order to support heavier payloads. Additionally, the bottom shelf features an internal Main-Frame System, greatly increasing the carts stability and overall payload capacity. The Motorized Apollo continues to meet tough demands with flat proof tires, and corrosion resistant stainless steel and aluminum construction throughout.
The upright tubes are secured using our Corner Mold Lock-System that doubles as a location to mount Apollo specific accessories directly into the carts upright posts, from the top deck. These four vertical posts are 14% thicker than our standard workstation posts and have been positioned at the corners of the cart.
The Top Shelf features four sides and a hinged front panel that quickly opens for comfortable keyboard access. Removable 3/8″-16 and 1/4″-20 Threaded Rail Plates supply mounting additional accessories.
Soft close combo-locking drawers padded with marine carpet are mounted beneath both the top and bottom shelf for safe storage of personal items.
The Apollo uses our Pack Latch System to easily connect the top and bottom shelves together when packed down. The Motorized Apollo is designed so that while the Motorized Wheel System along with the top and bottom shelf remains intact, the top shelf can still be packed down into a more compact configuration.
Above you can see our interview with INOVATIV at NAB 2023 where they were showing a prototype of the Motorized Apollo Workstation.
Having motorized wheels on a heavy workstation is a great idea as it helps prevent injuries on set from people straining or hurting their back, arms, or legs, but it does come at a cost. The INOVATIV Motorized Apollo Workstation retails for $12,495.00 USD.
