Dental unit Runyes Maple 42U upper instrument feed

A dental unit for daily clinical work with a focus on ergonomics and a calm working rhythm

Runyes Maple 42 is a dental unit designed for clinics that require ergonomics, chair stability, comfortable four-handed dentistry, and predictable daily operation. The model is focused on practicality, without overpaying for the brand and without excessive options that are rarely used in real clinical work.

The core concept of Maple is the combination of patient comfort, ergonomic dentist seating, and quiet, smooth mechanics, allowing long working sessions without fatigue.

Design solutions that positively impact daily clinical workflow

Smooth and quiet chair movement

Maple features a patented electro-hydraulic drive system with a hydraulic pump, a load capacity exceeding 220 kg, smooth start and stop, and very quiet operation.

In practice, this means fewer sudden movements, calmer patient behavior, faster seating and lifting, and fewer distractions for the clinician.

Low chair position simplifies patient access

The minimum chair height is specified at 340 mm from the floor.

This facilitates seating for children, elderly patients, and patients with limited mobility, reducing stress during entry and exit from the chair.

Backrest ergonomics reduce operator fatigue

Maple is equipped with an ultra-thin backrest, especially in the upper section, allowing the dentist to move closer to the operating field and keep elbows in a more natural position.

In practice, this reduces strain on the lower back and shoulders and makes working with loupes or a microscope more comfortable.

Lighting plays a key role in daily practice

The unit is equipped with an LED operating light featuring three-axis positioning, touchless sensor control, two light modes (white and warm), a CRI of 90, and five brightness levels up to approximately 28,000 lux.

This allows easier shade matching of composites and tissues, reduces shadows, and lowers contamination risk thanks to sensor-based control.

Integrated safety and motion control logic

Maple includes chair movement lockout while instruments are in use on the dentist’s module.

In daily practice, this means fewer accidental movements and a lower risk of errors or injuries during high-precision procedures.

Advantages of Runyes Maple dental units

• Comfortable chair mechanics with smooth, quiet motion and high load capacity
• Ergonomic design for the dentist thanks to the thin backrest and close access to the operating field
• Easy patient access due to a minimum chair height of 340 mm
• High-quality lighting with CRI 90 and selectable warm or white modes
• Well-thought-out service logic, including error codes for diagnostics, short-circuit protection, and a circuit breaker without the need to replace fuses

Trade-offs and limitations to consider

• Premium brand ecosystems are typically broader and include more proprietary digital integrations, patient communication tools, and advanced hygiene automation
• Resale value and market liquidity are often higher for brands such as KaVo, Planmeca, or Sirona
• Configuration is critical: Maple delivers optimal value when properly specified according to clinical needs

How Runyes Maple meets the needs of different dental specialties

General dentistry and restorative treatment

Stable patient positioning, high-quality lighting, and fast adjustments are essential. Maple offers CRI 90 lighting with multiple modes and comfortable dentist seating thanks to the thin backrest.

Endodontics with loupes or a microscope

Key requirements include legroom, field stability, and safe chair movements. Maple allows closer positioning via the ultra-thin backrest and locks chair movement during instrument operation.

Prosthodontics and restorative dentistry

Patient comfort during long procedures and stable positioning are critical. Maple provides a smooth hydraulic drive, quiet operation, and ergonomic chair geometry.

Surgery and outpatient implantology

Fast positioning, control, and safe chair movements are essential. Maple delivers quick, quiet lifting and locks movement during instrument use.

Pediatric dentistry

Low chair height, easy seating, and reduced anxiety are key. Maple offers a minimum chair height of 340 mm, significantly simplifying work with children.

Answers to frequently asked questions in clinics

How many instruments can be installed on a Runyes Maple unit

The number of instruments depends on the specific configuration of the doctor and assistant module offered by your supplier. Before purchasing, it is important to fix the list of instruments and the type of aspiration for your tasks so that the unit meets the real clinical workload.

Is Runyes Maple suitable for endodontics using a microscope

In terms of ergonomics, the unit is well suited for such work. The thin backrest of the chair provides more space for the doctor to sit, and the safety logic provides for blocking the chair movements during work with instruments, which is important when working under magnification.

How does Maple differ from premium units from KaVo, Planmeca or Sirona

Maple focuses on chair mechanics and ergonomics at a more affordable price. Premium brands usually offer a wider ecosystem of digital integrations, hygienic automation and additional options, but this is accompanied by a higher cost of ownership.

What is the minimum chair height and for whom is it critical

The minimum seating height is 340 mm. This is especially important for working with children, patients with limited mobility, as well as for clinics with high traffic, where quick and convenient boarding and disembarking of patients is important.

What lighting is used in the Runyes Maple installation

The installation is equipped with an LED lamp with touch control, support for white and warm light modes, a CRI of 90 and five brightness levels up to approximately 28,000 lux, which ensures comfortable work with fabrics and restoration materials.
