We will cover why adjustable height tables are essential for your work, what industries benefit the best, key benefits to look for, and more.

Why Use Adjustable Industrial Tables?

If we were to boil down the difference between adjustable industrial workbenches and regular industrial workbenches, what do you think the one difference is? It should be obvious by the name. Adjustable tables have adjusting heights.

This is usually achieved through hydraulics to make the adjustment easier. While you might only think these tables can go up and down, we also provide tables with adjustable tilts, which can be good for drafting or projects where a flat surface is not needed.

There are two major reasons to choose adjustable tables over regular ones. A standard table is made for a standard height. If your employees range significantly in height, then some will find the table too high or low for their needs. This increases accidents and frustrates workers.

Another reason you may want one is that your projects come in various sizes. For example, let’s say that your work often involves both large and small items. Employees would be able to reduce the table height when working with large items and vice versa. This makes them more comfortable and improves the accuracy of their work.

What Industries Benefit Most?

There are some industries that benefit more from adjustable industrial mobile tables and adjustable industrial tables than others. The truth is that most industries that benefit from industrial work tables will benefit from adjustable height tables. They are simply more versatile and prepared for workers and projects of varying heights.

These tables are ideal in any laboratory. When paired with the right material, such as stainless steel, you can create a work area for various workers to mix chemicals, clean between projects, and have a safe and comfortable work environment.

Manufacturing plants are quite the same. Your workers will often be handling corrosive and hazardous materials. The last thing you want is for these workers to be uncomfortable. That increases the chances of accidents along with daily aches and pains. These tables keep workers safer and happier.

There are other industries as well. The food industry requires industrial mobile tables, and adjustable industrial mobile tables make it easier for different workers to take shifts without being uncomfortable.

Don’t forget about the medical industry. Both doctors and techniques can use these tables for moving medical supplies, checking samples, and doing their work while saving lives.

What Key Features and Benefits are Most Important?

There are many key features and benefits to consider. There are some you should consider as the buyer or manager or who is supplying the office and some as the end-user who will be using the industrial tables.

Let’s start with the adjustments since that’s one of the most important aspects of these industrial tables. You must make sure that the table at least matches the minimum and maximum your workers will need. It’s best to overestimate by a few inches each way. This will ensure they stay comfortable and can work on many projects.

You should also consider if you need an adjustable tilt. This is beneficial if workers commonly find it difficult to work on horizontal surfaces, such as with drafting.

Many industrial workbenches can come with wheels and casters. This helps if the tables are commonly used to carry supplies or are frequently moved around. You must also consider the material. Many industrial spaces require stainless steel and similar materials, but other industries might be better off with wood or plastic laminate.

Your workers will care about how easy it is to use the table. We offer both hydraulic and manual lifts. Hydraulic will be better in most cases. They will also care about comfort. Our tables are made to be ergonomic, so be sure to contact us and we can pair you with the best adjustable height tables for your needs. Workers will also care about maximum weight if they work with heavier loads.

What to Know About Adjustable Industrial Tables Before Making a Purchase

You should first consider what you need from the table itself. Some industries require stainless steel for its resistance to static shock and thorough cleanliness. Others might require plastic laminate or wood.

The next thing to consider is the overall height. Consider how high and low the table must go and add a few extra inches. This will ensure that every worker will be comfortable and that every project can be completed properly. You should also consider the lift mechanism as we offer both hydraulic and manual.

You should then consider extra features that you need. This can include wheel and casters, storage shelves, lighting, and more. We are RDM Industrial are manufacturer direct and can build custom tables for your needs. Contact us and tell us what you need.

RDM Industrial Products produces an extraordinarily diverse variety of quality-designed and custom-built workbenches.

Here’s a bit of critical information about how important these benches can be to your lab, studio, or business and about the various types of benches that RDM can manufacture to meet your needs.

Why Use Workbenches?

RDM Double-Sided Workbenches – Model Ti-101P-CSTR-GREY01 includes a Utility and File Drawer, Casters for Mobility, and i-Style Hydraulic Lift System.

A workbench is, in essence, a quite simple tool. But that shouldn’t trick you into supposing it to be unsophisticated or only narrowly useful. At the most basic level, it is a stable, flat surface that is similar to a table but often has some additional features designed to facilitate some particular type of work.

Even from this bare-bones description, a large variety of possible uses should immediately jump out at you. Any kind of work requiring you to sit or stand in some area and apply diligence and attention to the task at hand would be virtually impossible to do without the aid of a good workbench. The same is true for any work that requires you to have a variety of items or tools close at hand which you must frequently switch between using.

Since there are so many different jobs to which the above applies, you should expect a good workbench to be an integral part of a great many industries. The sky is really the limit here.

Major Industries Using Workbenches

Now that you can see the great value and versatility that they can bring to an enterprise, here is a more specific taste of some of the kinds of places where you might expect to find industrial workbenches:

• Scientific Research Centers & Labs:
  Scientists and lab researchers who conduct experiments with all kinds of chemicals will need a bench to help them organize their equipment and keep it within reach. For those specifically dealing with caustic chemicals on a regular basis, an ordinary workbench will likely not be enough. They may need stainless steel workbenches which are specially designed to be chemical-resistant, for example. Other kinds of heavy duty workbenches may also be required here.
• Architectural, Engineering, Design, and Construction Firms:
  Architects, engineers, and designers must draw up plans or schematics for buildings, cars, furniture, or anything else that they may have their eyes upon creating. They may need to build smaller models to test out design ideas or examine proposed construction materials for their suitability to a given project. For all things like this, heavy duty workbenches are essential.
• Art Studios:
  Artists can certainly put a good workbench to use as well. Painters need somewhere to place and secure the canvases they’re painting on. Sculptors need a secure place to try out experiments in molding bits of clay or other materials. Plus, artists may just need a good spot where they can sit down and make a quick sketch.
• Medical Schools and Hospitals:
  Doctors, radiologists, and other medical technicians and personnel will frequently find themselves examining things like patient x-rays and medical files. The importance of a reliable workbench or light table to either help organize these things or provide them better visibility at the moment should not be underestimated.

As mentioned, however, this is only a small sample of the kinds of places where you might expect to find the humble workbench.

RDM specializes in custom workbench design, so we can supply you with manufacturer-direct, industrial-quality products, no matter what your specific needs. Here are just some of the different kinds of benches we can create for you.

Key Types of Industrial Workbenches

Workbenches are far from uniform. There is an enormous number of different kinds of them. Here are just a few of the types that RDM can manufacture for you and for your lab or business:

• Computer LAN Workstations:
  Labs often require the cataloging of large amounts of data. Hospitals need to have their patients’ medical data on hand. All of these require computers connected to a Local Area Network. Workstations with computers can be set up to efficiently handle this kind of work.
• Steel Tables and Workstations:
  When wood just won’t do, there’s always stainless steel. Many such tables are often corrosion-resistant, which is useful when working with dangerous chemicals. They can be built with or without wheels or casters. Depending on whether mobility is required. Some models may include overhead racks.
• Ergonomic Tables:
  These are all designed with worker ease and comfort in mind. They are typically custom-designed according to a worker’s height or maybe height-adjustable. The surface is made so that every part is easily within reach.
• Light Tables:
  Light tables have specially designed fluorescent lights behind or underneath them which you can turn on to illuminate your work area. These are useful if you need a careful, up-close look at something.
• Packaging Workstations:
  Ideal for any kind of packing plant or shipment facility. These benches provide workers with a compact space in which to quickly package products and move them out toward customers.
• Laminar Flow Workstations:
  These are critically important precision tools. Scientific researchers typically use laminar flow hoods when they must work with some kind of dangerous material. The hood encloses the material in glass or acrylic and allows researchers to stoop in from one side and do their work. To make this work possible, there is also an associated workbench.

This list is far from exhaustive. We recommend having a look at all of our many types of industrial work tables.

RDM’s Commitment to Custom Design Workbenches

Even within each of the different types of workbenches we’ve mentioned, there is still further diversity. Our dedication to custom workbench design means that we strive to specially design each product for the particular needs of each individual customer. Here are just some of the different workbench features and accessories that we can tack on if you need them:

• Overhead Equipment Racks:
  We can include all kinds of overhead equipment racks with our workstations so that you can hang important tools and keep them within reach. This is especially true of our stainless steel workbenches.
• Height Adjustment:
  Taller workers will need taller benches, and shorter workers will need shorter ones. Thankfully, since many of our benches can be made height-adjustable, they need not be one-size-fits-all.
• Wheels:
  If you need a cart or bench to be mobile so that you can put something on it and transport it across the lab or other work area, we can attach wheels to your bench.
• Tilting:
  A bench whose table-top can be tilted and adjusted may be extremely useful in some circumstances. Especially to artists who are sketching or painting or to engineers examining plans.
• Computer Accessories:
  Various computer accessories are available to make the life of anyone sitting at a computer easier. These include things like monitor stands and keyboard trays.
• Storage Accessories:
  If you need space to store things and don’t want to leave the workstation to grab them, you can always get workbenches that come with storage cabinets or filing drawers.

Since we absolutely insist on custom workbench design, this is only a small sample of the accessories and additional features that we can add to your order.

Conclusion

RDM has over 40 years of experience creating factory-direct heavy duty workbenches and other industrial-grade laboratory furniture. And all of our products are proudly manufactured in the USA. Wherever you work and whatever you may need, we can get you just the right sort of benches to help you and those around you work at their best.

Industrial workbenches that feature energy-efficient HEPA units reduce ongoing electricity costs.  Fans may have speed control options, allowing the user to regulate the amount of air supplied to the industrial benches. High-efficiency HEPA filters are proven 99.99 percent efficient with 0.3 micro particles. Pre-filters that can be snapped into place make maintenance and replacement much easier.

Fans included in these work benches should be quiet so as not to distract the user. A 50 dBA fan is extremely quiet, making it perfect for this environment. Installing thick acrylic panels on the rear and sides of an industrial workbench seals the perimeter and an air flow shield adds to the efficiency. With a teardrop shaped, sealed fluorescent light fixture, the area is illuminated without creating an additional place for particulates to gather.

These industrial workbenches are usually compatible with 115v of power and cords can be plugged into a standard 20A duplex outlet. They come in several standard sizes but manufacturers can also specify custom dimensions including the height of the work surface. Top options include surfaces with features like chemical resistance and ESD/static control. Cleanroom and heavy manufacturing styles of work benches can also be found. Optional accessories include drawers, cabinets, bin panels, and power strips.

Being able to customize industrial workbenches ensures that this furniture meets the needs of the work environment. Laminar flow industrial benches provide a steady flow of particulate-free air. Quiet fan operation, variable fan speed, an assortment of work surface materials, and customized dimensions are just a few of the personalization options offered by some manufacturers.
