Returns processing workbenches need to handle multiple tasks simultaneously. Your employees must inspect returned goods, assess condition, decide on resale potential, and repackage items efficiently.
A well-designed returns assessment bench should include dedicated inspection areas, storage solutions for packaging materials, and enough workspace to handle your largest products. Many of our customers also require integrated lighting, power sockets for testing electronics, and easy access to scanners or weighing equipment.
We manufacture workbenches for returns departments with workflow efficiency in mind. Storage drawers keep tape, labels, and packing materials within reach. Overhead shelving provides space for boxes or bags. Under-bench storage holds tools and equipment without cluttering the workspace.
Retailers face different challenges, and off-the-shelf solutions rarely align with your returns process:
Our team designs inspection benches for returns processing that match your workflow. We’ll work with you to understand your volume, product types, and employee requirements before manufacturing your workstations.
All workbenches are delivered to your site fully welded, assembled and ready for work.
What do you need from your industrial workbench?
Do you need storage, packaging dispensers, IT integration, or accessories?
We will offer advice if you need any help.
Once you know what you want, send it over to us.
Our expert in-house design team will then produce 3D drawings & renders so you can visualise your industrial workbench clearly.
At this point, you can make changes as necessary before finalising the design.
Once you’re happy with it we can discuss your preferred payment method & terms.
Once payment terms have been agreed, our skilled manufacturing team will build your industrial workbenches.
You can have them installed or shipped directly to you from our East Yorkshire factory.
Efficient returns processing depends on having everything you need close at hand. We offer numerous storage options for your returns processing workbenches:
These additions help streamline the returns process by reducing time spent searching for materials or walking to storage areas.
Many of our fulfilment centre customers integrate returns processing workbenches directly into their conveyor systems. This creates a workflow in which returned items arrive at the workstation for inspection, then automatically proceed to the next stage.
We manufacture complete conveyor solutions, including belt conveyors and roller conveyors. These can feed directly to inspection benches for returns processing, creating a continuous handling system.
Returns processing can be repetitive and physically demanding. A poorly designed workspace leads to fatigue, errors, and slower processing times. This is how we combat those possibilities:
We manufacture workbenches for checking returned goods at heights to suit your employees. Standard height is 850mm, but we regularly produce height-adjustable workstations or custom heights for specific requirements.
Mobile returns handling benches with lockable castors allow workspace reconfiguration. This helps when handling seasonal volume increases or changing your returns process layout.
Adequate lighting makes inspection easier. We can integrate LED lighting rails directly into your returns assessment benches, reducing eye strain and improving accuracy when checking for damage or wear.
The right worktop material depends on your products and processes. We offer several options for repacking benches for returns:
All our workbenches feature fully welded steel frames for strength and durability, with a minimum load capacity of 500kg on standard models.
