Consider the dimensions and durability of the workbench

Besides being practical and offering enough capacity for its intended use, the workbench must fit into the space allocated to it without hindering any colleagues who may be working at surrounding workstations. It must also be the right height, so that the people working there can keep their backs straight and not feel any muscle fatigue. For their part, the dimensions of the table and the maximum load that the workbench can support must be determined according to the workpieces.

Evaluate the storage capacity

The shelf, which may have one or two levels, is chosen according to the number of electrical appliances that are used. Storage compartments with drawers may also be necessary to store tools that must be kept within the user’s reach. Display racks let you keep the most frequently used tools close at hand.

Determine the need for electrical outlets and circuit breakers

Many professionals, especially those working in the field of maintenance, need an industrial workbench with a desk and shelf equipped with outlets and circuit breakers.

Industries that are required to test products – such as quality services – look for workbenches that supply several sources of electricity to conduct trials and tests at the end of production.

Consider the accessories

Certain accessories help improve the operation of your workbench without distorting its design.

Do you use your workbench as an assembly station in your production workshop? An electric ramp or a tray support rail can complement it to make it a workstation perfectly tailored to your needs.

Does your work require good lighting? An adjustable light arm lets you work without external lighting or a hand lamp. In addition, your workshop will no longer be cluttered with a multitude of unsightly, accident-causing electrical cables.

Do you need to have your computer nearby to work? Thanks to a laptop stand with adjustable tray, you can accomplish your tasks at your workstation while keeping an eye on your computer screen.

Integrate security

In addition to the practical aspects, industrial workbenches can be designed to ensure maximum security, in particular by being equipped with aluminum cabinet handles and toolboxes with digital locking.

Whatever the field for which the workbench that you are looking for is intended, you must first of all develop a specification listing your needs. You can then determine which models and – potentially – accessories best correspond to your expectations. If your needs are so specific that the industrial workbench models that you find are unsatisfactory, you should certainly consider having a custom workbench manufactured.
