There are varying levels of quality, strength, size and application variations for a workshop bench. Due to the wide variety of ways workbenches can be utilised there is a huge variety of options and price points often making it challenging to decide the best option for your specific industrial application. Workbenches can be as simple as a worktop with legs or with a modular design drawers and backboards for tool holders can be added. Workshop benches can be available on castors making them a mobile solution. Workbench workstations are also available with large inbuilt drawers and cupboards and these benches also have optional tool and bucket hanging boards, lighting and power options and more!
Picking a bench that will last for your operation long term is a critical part of the decision making process. You need to ensure the bench is safe and can stand up to your heavy duty environment as well as having the features required for your team to be able to do their job in line with your lean manufacturing program and 5S principles.
The finish of both the bench and the support structure whether that be legs or drawers is important for the environment they’re going into. A galvanized worktop is often the best finish for longevity even from an aesthetics point of view versus a ply timber worktop which will easily scratch and dent overtime. Powdercoat finish is the most common in industrial applications due to it’s longevity if applied correctly and the steel is prepped correctly. Having a colour that makes your workshop feel quality is important for workshop and warehouse applications just as much as having a professional and corporate office block.
