Renovating the workshop by choosing a steel work bench

Written by Lino Di Betta | 14 December 2023

A professional Automotive environment’s renovation (workshop, dealership or official maintenance network) involves a careful evaluation of both modules and configurations. Whether you decide for a total renovation or a partial one (specific areas), chosen materials have to be durable, functional and design-oriented.

In this article we discuss about steel work benches, focusing on their main features.

Renovation and steel work bench: some considerations from the Automotive field

A workshop renovation facilitate the introduction of a series of improvements to increase both technicians and operators efficiency; professional workshops have to improve their standards reflecting the demands of the increasingly fast moving and competitive market. To stand out in a sector that is always full of innovations and technologies requires areas of work that meet the production demand.

Renovation can be total or partial: as we have seen in this article from our blog, Companies can also benefit from requalification works of a pre-existing areas. In order to achieve ROI and investment results, it is essential to choose quality materials and finishes that are durable in the long term and make the environment profitable and efficient.

Among the key modules, in an Automotive environment, the workbench is a valid support to facilitate the work organisation and to sped up the daily activities. The workbench can be used as a base or a unit where to store material. The quality with which the workbench is made affects the precision of the work: a solid, durable and functional workbench improves efficiency, simplifying the technicians’ work.

The workbench is a distinguishing element, a strategic investment to improve the production level, reducing errors and optimizing the costs. Choosing for a steel work bench ensures maximum precision and excellent properties, which are preserved in the years to come:

Strenght

Steel is known for its excellent strength properties. Steel withstands continuous stresses and the load capacity of heavy components and tools, a feature that promotes safety throughout the environment. Durability is a long-term investment, reducing the risk of frequent maintenance or replacement of the workbench due to wear.

Easy to clean

Its smooth, non-porous surface prevents the accumulation of dust or liquids, which can be removed easily. The brand’s image, today, is also reflected in the production environments, bringing more and more workshops to be real showcases to exhibit.

As is the case with Wizzcar Service, authorised service provider for BMW and Mini, that has renovated its workshop, turning it into a showroom.

In this professional environment, cleanliness is now synonymous with precision and professionalism: a workbench kept in excellent condition is a key element to ensure a positive image of the service offered.

Design

Aesthetics play a role in defining the work environment. A steel work bench has a modern, professional appearance that can elevate the workshop's image in the eyes of customers. In a competitive sector such as the Automotive one, investing in a piece of furniture that reflects professionalism and modernity allows the brand to stand out meeting the most demanding Corporate Identity requirements.

Functionality and flexibility

Workbenches are extremely versatile and can be customised to suit the specific needs of each workshop. Whether integrating tool drawers, tool panels or anchoring systems for heavy tools, steel a furniture that reflects professionalism and modernity makes it possible to distinguish the brand.

Steel is an excellent alloy for the entire configuration: the material maximises the performance of cabinets, drawer units, trolleys, panels, and ecological containers, thus allowing the best from each individual module.

 

In today's article we discuss about the steel work bench, a structure made of a solid, durable and highly efficient alloy. The Automotive working environment is complex: in workshops, work is dynamic and on the move. The structures covering the workspaces must live up to the demanding production demands and high quality standards.
