Heavy duty workbenches manufactured to your specification
From a one-off standard metal workbench to a fully kitted out workshop, we work with you to manufacture robust welded workbenches, delivered fully assembled and ready for work.
Our heavy duty workbenches are as practical as they are tough, with a fully welded steel frame no assembly is required, and are built to last, protected by a durable powder-coated paint finish.
Spaceguard's heavy-duty workbench range is suitable for all types of home, commercial, engineering, fabrication, manufacturing & industrial uses. This includes the workshop, factory, laboratory, garage, warehouse, or even greenhouse.
Due to the solid fully welded metal workbench frame construction using steel box section, our benches are strong and sturdy. The benches are also available with a choice of workbench worktops, for example, steel, food-grade stainless steel, wooden or hardwood, or plastic.
We offer a uniformly distributed load rating (UDL) of 1000kg as standard, whilst our extra heavy-duty benches boast an impressive load rating of 5000kg.
