Workbenches

Building a workbench

A workshop workstation must, above all, be solid and as simple as possible. The KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) principle is an essential component of workbench design. The most important element is the countertop. All our tables are made of solid beech wood, 40 mm thick. This is a guarantee of durability, resistance to impacts and scratches and... aesthetics, which also has a significant impact on the comfort of work.

At the customer's request, we can upholster the wooden top galvanized steel sheet, acid-resistant or grooved rubber. 

Division of workbenches according to functionality

Characteristics of workbench tops

• – Worktops made of plywood

These work areas are resistant to water splashes and dirt. Plywood countertops should be properly impregnated before starting work.

• – Solid wood worktops

In this case, the hardest type of wood in industry is most often used, namely beechwood. This type of work area is characterized by very high resistance and durability and is often used when working with heavy objects.

• – Worktops finished with plastic or rubber

These countertops are highly resistant to chemicals, fats and greases.

• – Countertops with cladding made of steel, stainless steel, galvanized or otherwise galvanized sheets

As a rule, these countertops have a core made of store-bought, solid wood or plastic. They are most often used in heavy industry, car and locksmith workshops.

• – Worktops made of laminates, chipboards, MDF boards

These countertops are relatively the least resistant and durable, there is a risk of scratches. Workbenches with this type of tops are often used in warehouses, assembly stations, and for picking.

• – Worktops with antistatic coverings

This type of countertop is insulated with an antistatic lining and is used in electrical and electronic services.

If we work with small elements, it is worth equipping the tabletop with a corrugated rubber cover. It will not only provide grip, but will prevent screws, springs and other parts from scattering around the table. It is also used in case of contact with oils and greases.

Galvanized sheet metal is resistant to water, lighter chemicals and coolants, and is easy to clean. When working with acids, cutting and the heaviest work, a coating made of acid-resistant sheet metal will work best.

For basic, dry work, a basic tabletop made of solid beech wood is sufficient.

Workbenches have an extremely wide range of applications in production plants, carpentry shops, various types of workshops and craft workshops. They will prove useful wherever manual work is performed, both precise and forceful. They must be solid and, at the same time, conducive to maintaining cleanliness, as they are often also used for design work. They are appreciated by production companies and those specializing in repair and maintenance. Bicycle repair shops, car workshops, machine factories - these and many other enterprises cannot do without a place where you can perform manual activities requiring precision, having the necessary tools at hand.

Professional workbenches are also a good choice for… amateurs. As equipment for a home workshop or garage, they will help you keep order and perform repair work efficiently. Moreover, they are invaluable support for people whose passion is related to mechanics and crafts. Model makers, automotive enthusiasts or even... fans of hand-made jewelry.

A bigger table will not always be better. Of course, large space is convenient, but remember to adapt the dimensions of the station to the surroundings and the size of the room. Access to it and the ability to move freely around the workshop are as important as the size of the countertop. Even if you have enough space, it is worth considering whether you really need a large surface - maybe a smaller table will be sufficient and the remaining space can be used in other ways?

Lighter workbenches are perfect for design studios, packaging rooms or measuring stations, and they also make changing the interior arrangement easier. Heavy varieties, composed of many modules, ensure stability and are suitable for larger objects and heavier work. They will also allow you to create comprehensive positions for many people.

Extension of the workbench

A workbench properly selected for the project and requirements should be adaptable to current needs; it is also extremely important that the table allows for expansion. As a manufacturer of workbenches, we are working on the possibility of modular configuration, expansion with all types of extensions, drawers, cabinets, lighting, pendants, and even containers.
