3 tips for choosing truly functional workshop benches and cabinets
When it comes to furnishing the workshop, you need to select counters and cabinets designed to increase the efficiency and productivity of those who work in your workshop every day. What features must be taken into account when choosing the perfect furnishings? We recommend three of them: modularity, variety of compartments and customization possibilities.
A self-respecting mechanical workshop necessarily requires sturdy workbenches and solid and capacious workshop cabinets. Some furnishings on the market, however, are less practical and complete than they may seem.
Which aspects should you for to have truly efficient workshop furnishings? Here are three tips from the DEA Worklab designers.
1 - Choose modular benches and cabinets that fit your workshop
Needs change over time and it is important to take advantage of all the available space, even in buildings with an irregular floor plan. Choosing modular workshop benches and cabinets means having furniture that adapts to every change, without the need to replace them periodically.
One more tip: choose the furnishings also based on the work carried out by the technicians. A specifically designed workstation will further facilitate daily work, positively impacting productivity.
2 - Include cabinets with large and small compartments
In addition to choosing benches and cabinets made with high quality materials, it is good to choose storage solutions that are able to accommodate all the tools found in the workshop, of any size.
Our second suggestion is to include cabinets with large and small compartments and enrich them with the number of shelves you want: this way you will reserve a space for every tool, large or small, and the work space will always be clean and tidy.
One more tip: together with the cabinets, you can enrich your workbenches with tool trolleys and drawer units, to better catalog all the equipment and small parts.
3 - Personalize them according to your workshop's style and brand identity
A personalized work environment, even in colors and finishes, is more appreciated both by those who work there and by customers. On the one hand, it strengthens the team's sense of identity; on the other, it strengthens the customer’s perception of a sound company.
Precisely for these reasons the largest car brand workshops meticulously design all furnishings, obtaining a unique and immediately recognizable result.
One more tip from the DEA experts? Always prefer steel cabinets and tops that are customizable with epoxy paint: in addition to adding an extra touch of color, it will protect your furniture from corrosion and scratches for a very long time.
