"Now there's a focus on ultra low profile mounts," said Hal Truax, general manager of professional products at OmniMount.
...
"Now all the manufacturers, including ourselves, have come up with lower profile offerings that operate quietly," said Truax.
...
"That's a category relatively new to us but we've had good success with our couple of offerings," said Truax.
...
"One is to build the base so that the center of gravity is as close to the floor as possible," said Truax."The other is just mass.The goal is to make the area above the casters large enough to disperse the weight evenly and reduce the tip factor."Another design consideration are doorways."We make the base of the cart or floor stand as wide as possible, while being narrow enough on one plane to get through the door," explained Truax."The larger you can make the diagonal area from one wheel to the next, the more stable it's going to be."For security purposes, the standard for mount manufacturers is hex-pin hardware.Beyond that, wall mounts typically have the ability to be locked with a padlock. OmniMounts offers its Captive Lock system."It goes around the screw and prevents you from getting to the screw," explained Truax.
