Equipment features of workbenches

The basic structure of a workbench consists of a robust tabletop and four legs. These minimalist models are suitable for use as packing tables or for jobs where few accessories are required. If, on the other hand, you wish to store tools or keep small parts and spare parts within easy reach, choose models with shelves, integrated cupboards with drawers and additional compartments.

Workbenches: what kind of tabletops are available?

The material that the tabletop is made of is decisive for a workbench. Solid beech is popular because it is robust, durable and easy to clean. If the workbench comes into frequent contact with liquids, a tabletop with a universal coating or sheet steel surface is recommended.
