Heavy duty metal workbenches: what you need, and what you don’t

A heavy duty metal workbench must offer a combination of durability, design, practicality and versatility, in order to make the work environment more functional, and to streamline the daily procedures. Let's take a closer look at the features of a good industrial workbench, and discover the DEA set-ups together.

A heavy duty metal workbench plays a key role in every industrial environment: it’s an essential tool for supporting, managing, organizing and streamlining all the daily work activities, thereby ensuring fast, lean, and efficient production processes.

To do this, the workbench must have certain features, including specific materials, components and finishes.

5 The ideal features of a heavy duty metal workbench

The ideal heavy duty metal workbench for industrial environments must have the following:

1. a solid, robust and sturdy metal frame
2. coatings or varnishes that improve resistance to rust and impacts, extending its lifespan
3. multiple shelves and drawers for organizing tools and miscellaneous materials
4. high capacity, to be able to withstand even the heaviest loads without risk
5. safety systems to protect the workers

A heavy duty metal workbench with all these features makes production more flexible and efficient by reducing unnecessary movements and downtime, optimizing space and minimizing waste.

The DEA range of heavy duty metal workbenches

DEA manufactures industrial workstations that meet all the needs of production environments where high quality, efficiency and speed are required. They ensure order, cleanliness, and better organised work activities, and are always designed to be user-friendly: that’s why safety and ergonomics are key aspects of all our heavy duty metal workbenches.

More specifically, DEA heavy duty metal workbenches are:

• made of solid sheet metal, entirely welded
• coated with epoxy powder and, in some versions, with ABS, to improve resistance to impacts and corrosion, and to reduce noise and vibrations
• modular, based on the specific needs, with drawers, door cabinets, trolleys, modules for more specific processes (e.g. the module with folding clamp), and wall panels for hanging the smallest and most frequently utilised tools.

The drawer units, in particular, meet the highest industrial standards: they feature full extension drawers, mounted on high capacity HD slides (from 50 kg up to 200 kg), and an anti-tipping device that allows just one drawer to be opened at a time, in order to prevent the unit from becoming unbalanced and tipping.

Each heavy duty metal workbench can be topped with work surfaces that run the entire length of the composition (available in 3 materials: classic steel, stainless steel with reinforcement omega bars, and wood).
