Tool cabinets are one of the key elements within a workshop, dealership or official maintenance network. In addition to being used to store and to stow materials, from the smallest to the bulkiest tools, they can be used as mobile support, used daily as a base in the different working areas: the quality with which these modules are made is very high, both to guarantee optimum performance of the trolley and also safety for technicians.
Tool trolleys must be high-performance, efficient and durable. That is why it is essential to choose for fully welded modules. Read on to find out more!
The value of the tool cabinets inside a workshop
Tool cabinets, with their countless features and functions, influence the performance and the quality of the technicians work and are therefore decisive in an Automotive working environment.
Each tool cabinet is equipped with drawers for storing and stowing material, from the smallest to the bulkiest tools. The tool trolley is an essential everyday support which, thanks to its 4 swivel wheels, can be moved around comfortably and thus become a mobile storage.
These functionalities must be supported by important structural qualities in order to make the unit even more valuable in terms of speed, efficiency and performance:
- lower COG (center of gravity) to increase the trolley stability
- full extension of drawers for maximum use of space
- Corners protections
- 2 braking wheels
- the addition of chrome-plated and polished extruded aluminum ergonomic handles to guarantee durability
- ergonomic handles
In addition, units are fully welded.
Why a fully welded trolley is considered as an added value?
In the Automotive sector, the environment is dynamic and operations are complex: it is essential that the furniture i tough, high-performance and durable.
Welding is a permanent joining process involving the fusion of two metals to create a solid connection. By creating a bond between the components, the joining technique makes structures stable and strong. This is particularly important when heavy loads and mechanical stresses are involved, such as in Automotive environments.
A fully welded structure also responds positively to vibrations and stresses that, in the long run, put a strain on the stability of structures whose joining technique is with screws and rivets. Welding is not susceptible to corrosion or loosening, assuring positive results on component performance over time.
From an aesthetic point of view, welding is more sophisticated and highly perceived. Clean surfaces and attractive finishes are a must in the Automotive sector, where workshops and maintenance networks have to conform to high branding standards. The corporate image is also conveyed by these environments, where it is essential to comply with the dictates of Corporate Identity and to live up to the brand positioning in the market.
Welding process helps productivity and increases ROI
Riveted structures are subjected to stresses and vibrations, to the point of necessitating product maintenance. With a view to install a durable and efficient set-up over the years, which guarantees a return on investment, continuous maintenance may not be considered a strategic choice by companies. Joining by welding excludes these possibilities.
The strength of welded structures is crucial in complex Automotive environments that require high load capacities. The structural integrity of a welded tool carriage will not be compromised by mechanically supported parts (screws and rivets) and will not affect aesthetics. Finishes will be clean and surfaces polished even where there is no other element involved than steel. This aspect is also reflected in the ease of daily surface cleaning; welded structures facilitate the cleaning of the entire product.
In today's article we have deepened tool cabinets features, highlighting the value of welding. This jointing technique allows to obtain products with an excellent finish, polished and clean. Furthermore, the structure is resistant, able to withstand the effects of a complex and dynamic environment such as workshops, dealerships and official maintenance networks over time.
