Chef Peter Lammer invented ‘Standing Ovation’, a device that empowers chefs combating mobility challenges. More often than not, chefs facing mobility issues end up quitting kitchens due to the inability to walk around stations, stand for a long time and manage their high-intense jobs.
The motorcycling accident faced by Chef Peter Lammer restricted 80 per cent of mobility in his body. The determined chef took it upon himself to create a solution for himself and chefs like him across the world who have similar physical limitations. His device, ‘Standing Ovation’ has a rail system called the C-bar seat lifting unit. This device has a versatile 3-way structure that facilitates free-standing. It has a C-shaped seat bar that is attached to a lifting unit.
This allows three-dimensional movement. With hands free for work, the device transfers the user’s torso weight to the device. So, this innovative device takes on additional weight and reduces stress on the legs. Moreover, the spring-loaded rotation unit enables the user to move around freely without depending on anyone. As it’s attached to the ceiling on one end, it ensures the safety of the user and also enables the person to easily navigate cables, hoses and floor installations, eliminating the risk of falling.
