Used Teknion Cubicles: TOS vs Leverage vs Expansion — Which System Is Right for Your Office?

Teknion dominates the used cubicle market in the GTA, and for good reason: it's the panel system you'll find in most major Toronto offices, it's built to be reconfigured and reused for decades, and a used Teknion workstation costs a fraction of new. But not all Teknion systems are the same. The three names you'll run into — TOS, Leverage, and Expansion — have real differences in build, aesthetics, and price. Here's what each system offers and how to choose the right one for your office.

Teknion TOS (Transaction): the modern favourite

TOS stands for "Transaction" — Teknion's contemporary panel system with clean lines, slim frames, and a modern look that suits tech companies, agencies, and any office that wants workstations that look current. TOS panels have a refined, furniture-grade finish, and the system works well at today's lower panel heights (39–54 inches) that keep sightlines open while preserving focus.

TOS is the system GTA buyers ask for most. Because Teknion installed so much TOS across downtown Toronto offices over the last 15 years, quality used inventory is plentiful — which means better selection and sharper pricing. A used TOS workstation in good refurbished condition typically runs $899–$1,499 CAD per station, depending on panel height, worksurface size, and storage.

Teknion Leverage: the workhorse

Leverage is Teknion's classic stackable panel system — the one with the segmented, tile-like panels you can mix and match. Each panel segment can hold fabric, whiteboard, glass, or power tiles, so Leverage is the most flexible of the three for reconfiguring layouts: need power in more places? Swap in a power tile. Need privacy on one side and openness on the other? Stack different heights.

Leverage is the best choice for growing companies and landlords who reconfigure space often. It's extremely common in the used market, so pricing is competitive — expect $749–$1,299 CAD per workstation for refurbished Leverage in good condition. One caution: because Leverage has been around so long, check the condition of the tiles and connectors on older stock. A reputable dealer inspects and replaces worn components before sale.

Teknion Expansion: the budget-friendly classic

Expansion is Teknion's earlier generation panel system — solid, functional, and honest. It doesn't have the slim profile of TOS or the tile flexibility of Leverage, but it's a genuine Teknion workstation built on the same DNA: steel-frame panels, durable worksurfaces, and full compatibility with Teknion power systems.

Expansion is the budget king of the used cubicle world. If your priority is outfitting the maximum number of workstations per dollar — call centres, back offices, large teams — Expansion delivers at $599–$999 CAD per station refurbished. It sits a step below TOS in aesthetics, but at these prices the value is hard to beat: you're getting Teknion engineering at roughly a quarter of new cost.

TOS vs Leverage vs Expansion: at a glance

TOS: modern, slim look. Best for tech, agencies, client-facing offices. Good flexibility. Used price $899–$1,499 CAD per station.

Leverage: classic tiled look. Best for growing firms and reconfigurable space. Excellent flexibility. Used price $749–$1,299 CAD per station.

Expansion: traditional look. Best for call centres, back offices, budget builds. Basic flexibility. Used price $599–$999 CAD per station.

Prices assume refurbished condition — cleaned, touched up, and fully tested with all connectors, worksurfaces, and hardware included. Bare-bones "as-is" inventory can run lower, but ask exactly what's included before comparing quotes.

Why buy used Teknion in the GTA?

New Teknion workstations run $2,500–$4,500+ CAD per station once you add panels, worksurfaces, storage, and power. Buying used typically saves 60–70% — that's $1,500–$3,000 per workstation back in your budget. For a 20-person office, you're looking at $30,000–$60,000 in savings versus new, for cubicles that do exactly the same job.

There's also the timeline advantage: new Teknion orders often take 6–12 weeks to manufacture and ship. Used inventory is available now — Ufficio Furniture regularly stocks dozens of Teknion workstations in TOS, Leverage, and Expansion, ready for quick delivery across Toronto and the GTA.

Refurbishment, delivery, and installation

Used doesn't mean worn out — not when it's done right. At Ufficio Furniture, every used Teknion cubicle goes through a full refurbishment: panels steam-cleaned, frames inspected and touched up, worksurfaces checked, and all connectors, hardware, and power components tested. What goes on the truck looks and works like it should.

Delivery and installation are available throughout the GTA. Cubicle installation is real work — levelling panels, seating connectors, running power — so having an experienced crew matters. A professional install crew can typically put up 15–20 workstations in a day, and Ufficio's team handles projects of any size across Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, and beyond.
