Questions and answers
What is an industrial workbench used for?
An industrial workbench provides a stable work surface for assembly, packing, repair, inspection, tools, parts, and production tasks.
How do I choose workbench size?
Start with the task, product size, user movement, tools, storage needs, and available floor space. The bench should support the work without forcing awkward reach or clutter.
What worktop material should I choose?
Worktop choice depends on the task. General laminate suits many clean tasks, heavy-duty tops suit workshop use, and ESD tops are used where electrostatic discharge control is required.
When do I need an ESD workbench?
Use ESD workbenches when handling static-sensitive electronics, components, PCBs, or devices that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge.
What accessories are useful for workbenches?
Common accessories include shelves, drawers, pegboards, lighting, power rails, tool panels, bin rails, monitor arms, and packing accessories.
What is the difference between a workbench and packing bench?
A general workbench is for assembly, repair, or technical work. A packing bench is arranged for carton packing, labels, packaging materials, and order fulfilment flow.
