    Design a Workbench to suit your needs using our quick and easy workbench specification form

    The form shown below can be used to quickly design a workbench so our design & sales team can get an idea of your requirements.

    It has been designed so you're only required to fill in the information you need to for your requirements, and if there's anything that you are unsure of you may leave those fields blank.

    PLEASE NOTE: The form has been made to suit the needs of most of our customers, though if your workbench requirements are more complex it may be worth contacting our experienced sales team directly to discuss your needs.

    Why good workbench design is important

    Well designed, robust workbenches improve your productivity and working environment. When specifying the requirements for your workbenches there are a number of factors to consider.

    What task is the workbench going to be used for?

    It is vital to consider what you intend to use the workbench for. The more varied the tasks you have in mind, generally the more robust the construction should be.

    Consider the following:

    • How are the processes going to be carried out?
    • How far does the worker have to move?
    • Is there enough light to carry out any inspection process?
    • Does the PC really have to take up the work surface?
    • Does the workbench fit with your corporate colour scheme?

    As business requirements change, so may the requirements on the workbench. Bespoke workbenches can often be reconfigured or repurposed more easily than standard tables.

    What kind of weights are going to be on the bench?

    The heavier the weight, the heavier the construction should be. Where possible, a welded frame bench with a robust work surface is the best course. Check the bench load rating: ideally, the bench should still be solid when it is fully loaded.

    Plan the process

    Space and time are always at a premium. The ideal workbench would be robust enough to do the job, with just the tools and equipment required to carry out the process. Large workbenches for small processes generally produce waste in both time and space. Alternatively the process may have a multi station requirement, so often there is a need to have gravity roller systems or similar transport aids built within the workbench.

    Workbench vs workstation vs worktable

    Whether you call it a workbench, workstation, worktable or any other combination, it is essentially the same. The only difference should be the functions carried out, which will depend on the layout and design of the bench. A bench which is designed for the function will produce savings in process times, improve ergonomics and generally be a nicer place to work.

    Flat packed vs fully assembled

    Whether it’s a boltless design or requires fixings, a flat packed workbench is often cheaper on the surface. However, you have to assemble it yourself, and this isn’t always as easy as you may think. Flat packed workbenches also have variable stability, durability and load ratings. They do have their place, mainly when space is restricted.

    Spaceguard benches are fully welded and require no assembly, although we can provide flat pack variations if required.
