Especially if the quality is that of DEA Worklab.** **Workshop furnishings must be practical**: practical means convenient and functional, meaning a piece of furniture mainly designed to make workshop work as streamline as possible, to optimise time and keep the workplace in order and rational. Then, **workshop furnishings can even be beautiful**: this is the added value provided by DEA Worklab, that combines practicality with aesthetic style. Let's take a look at **which workshop furnishings are a must** and the features that make them irreplaceable. ## 1. Workbench First of all, you **need a workbench** that is ample enough to permit all the necessary movements and operations. It must be made of **resistant materials**: this way, even if a technician - engrossed in work - clumsily drops heavy tools on the bench, the surface will not be ruined. DEA work benches are painted with **epoxy powder**. The work surface is also equipped with a layer of ABS, resistant to many chemical fluids and able to attenuate noise. **Aesthetics in every detail**: finishes, corners and customised elements. ## 2. Fixed drawers Drawers are extremely practical to hold tools, equipment, spare parts, screws, bolts and even documents, folders and office supplies. Practicality is everything for **drawers**, which must be **ample**, **easy to fully open** without the risk of falling out and equipped with **handles** that promote grip. This is why our drawers have **DEA Motion cushioned guides**, **full opening and ergonomic handles**. They come in different heights, widths and number of drawers. ## 3. Trolleys Trolleys are essential to **easily move tools from one workspace to another**, or from one area to another in the same workstation based on the car parts to be overhauled. Equipped with resistant **wheels**, well-designed to guarantee smooth movement, without jerks or hindrances, with full rotation and 100 Kg capacity each. **DEA trolleys have:** - **4 reinforced pivot wheels**, two equipped with brakes; - Corner protection elements; - **Closure system integrated** in the handle to ensure the safe handling; ## 4. Ecological containers Order and cleanliness are key requirements in any workplace, more so in a workshop. This is why workshop furnishing must include ecological bins: the DEA compromise is the **stylish ecological bin design**, that match the surroundings and preserve the **attractive lines**. We have **different types** of ecological containers: trolley or retractable, with 2 or 4 compartments, with or without top opening. ## 5. Fluid and power distribution Lastly, workshop furnishings must include specific units intended to house classic elements such as: **oil, waste oil, water, air, antifreeze and washer fluid**; but also cable **winders**. Winder installation and maintenance are facilitated in DEA furniture structures. Lastly, **to expand the work area and enjoy even greater comfort**, other workshop furnishings can include **wall furnishings** and **special cabinets**, the latter especially indicated for large-sized tools. **Do you want to see all our workshop furnishings?
