Mechanical workshop equipment: the value of furniture for a high-performance environment

When working with cars or vehicles of any kind, manual expertness and skills are certainly indispensable, but excellent mechanic's equipment can also contribute positively to the success of a job.

In addition to specific mechanical workshop equipment, it is also a good idea to include a set of furniture to increase the quality of work for all operators, thanks to the functionality and the optimised space in the workshop.

In this in-depth article you will discover:

  • how to evaluate the furniture range
  • how to recognise quality car workshop equipment
  • an idea of workshop configurations

How to evaluate car workshop equipment?

Even before the tools, the first element to consider when renovating a workshop is the furniture. In fact, it is a crucial component that guarantees the comfort of all the technicians and allows them to work better without having to worry about space.

However, it is essential to choose the right furniture when choosing the mechanic's equipment in order to achieve a perfectly optimised environment. In addition, the space must be available in order for it to work well:

  • trolleys that follow your every move, to take to every corner of the workspace;
  • drawer units, the best allies to keep all work tools at hand, to accommodate small parts and equipment;
  • spacious and customisable cabinets, with all the shelves, handles and hooks you need;
  • ecological containers for orderly recyclable waste collection.

Various modules can be added later, depending on individual workshop needs, to complete furnishings.

How to recognise mechanical workshop equipment?

What distinguishes the best car workshop equipment from the rest of the products on the market?

The most appreciated aspect by our customers is undoubtedly its modularity, which makes it possible to achieve any desired result by simply combining the modules required for daily operation.

No less important is the resistance of all the components, thanks to the high quality of the materials used and the epoxy paints that prolong their life. It is also important to note that all the furniture is Made in Italy, to guarantee meticulous control at every stage of production.

The customisation of DEA furniture completes the picture: each component must be able to be enriched with details and colours as desired, transforming a "simple" piece of furniture into a complete workshop equipment.

Some ideal configuration ideas for machine shops

Creating the perfect workbench or highly efficient workstation from scratch can be difficult when faced with the considerable variety of components available. This is where the supplier comes in, who can create a customised solution, best suited to your needs and workshop space, or can offer you standard configurations to use as a customisable base.

How to recognise the partner of workshop furniture that best meets your business needs?

For Service Managers, choosing the right furniture supplier for mechanic's equipment is crucial and represents a strategic business investment. This decision offers the opportunity to significantly improve the working environment with solutions that optimise efficiency and increase safety. A qualified supplier can be recognised by several elements: by the attention it pays to accommodating the customer's doubts, needs and challenges, in the supply of Made in Italy, sought-after and design-oriented materials, and in its broad willingness to study the project in four hands. This last aspect is fundamental in order to create an environment that best meets the requirements of the specific business.

A carefully designed layout creates a more stimulating and pleasant working environment for those who work there. This, in turn, promotes the physical and mental wellbeing of technicians, helping to reduce staff turnover in a competitive industry such as the Automotive sector.

In the light of all the years of experience and skills acquired, DEA designers have in fact created â€‹configurations already prepared with the fundamental elements​ for mechanical workshops, body shops and service centres.
