Ergo work station

A method of modifying a marine vessel comprising a maritime hull, a propulsion system connected to the maritime hull, and a first connector connected to the maritime hull, the method comprising:

• attaching a second connector of the workstation to the first connector of the marine vessel, the workstation comprising:
• a frame panel comprising a first inset;
• a plurality of cap beams slidably disposed with respect to corners of the frame panel, the plurality of cap beams slidable in a direction parallel to a central axis that is perpendicular to the frame panel;
• an inner skirt connected to and disposed at least partially around the frame panel, the inner skirt comprising a stepwell portion comprising a kickplate disposed at least partially around the frame panel;
• a first mount plate connected to the kickplate of the inner skirt and extending inwardly relative to the workstation;
• an outer skirt disposed at least partially around the inner skirt, wherein the outer skirt is slidable with respect to the inner skirt in a direction parallel to the central axis;
• a first mounting brace connected to at least two of the plurality of cap beams;
• a second mount plate connected to the mounting brace and disposed inwardly relative to the workstation;
• a first actuator disposed between the first mount plate and the second mount plate, and through the first inset, wherein the first actuator is configured to change in length and hence to change a distance between the first mount plate and the second mount plate;
• and
• a work surface connected to the outer skirt.

A method of using a workstation, the workstation comprising:

• a frame panel comprising a first inset;
• a plurality of cap beams slidably disposed with respect to corners of the frame panel, the plurality of cap beams slidable in a direction parallel to a central axis that is perpendicular to the frame panel;
• an inner skirt connected to and disposed at least partially around the frame panel, the inner skirt comprising a stepwell portion comprising a kickplate disposed at least partially around the frame panel;
• a first mount plate connected to the kickplate of the inner skirt and extending inwardly relative to the workstation;
• an outer skirt disposed at least partially around the inner skirt, wherein the outer skirt is slidable with respect to the inner skirt in a direction parallel to the central axis;
• a first mounting brace connected to at least two of the plurality of cap beams;
• a second mount plate connected to the mounting brace and disposed inwardly relative to the workstation;
• a first actuator disposed between the first mount plate and the second mount plate, and through the first inset, wherein the first actuator is configured to change in length and hence to change a distance between the first mount plate and the second mount plate;
• and a work surface connected to the outer skirt, and wherein the method comprises:
• actuating the actuator to change a height of the outer skirt relative to the inner skirt.
