Workshop furnishings: which are a must?

Written by Lino Di Betta | 15 May 2023

There are 5 types of workshop furnishings that make work easier: a suitable workbench, drawers, trolleys, ecological bins and fluid and energy distribution units. 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.
