The Ultimate Workbench Buyer’s Guide

Key Features to Look For

Buying a workbench? Our ultimate workbench buyer’s guide explains everything you need to consider before buying. There’s plenty of key features to look for when making your investment. What’s great is that you’ve already done the first step – choosing an expert supplier! Benchmaster is a global manufacturer of high-quality, custom-made industrial workbenches. And when it comes to creating a highly productive workspace, choosing the right product is key. But, with so many options available, how do you pick the perfect one?

In this ultimate workbench buyer’s guide, we break down everything you need to know when buying a workbench:

1. Durability and Material Quality

Your workbench needs to withstand the demands of daily use. Look for workbenches made with durable materials. For example, steel frames offer excellent strength and resistance to wear and tear, making them great for industrial or heavy-duty applications.

2. Customisation Options

Not all tasks are the same, so your workbench shouldn’t be either. Look for customisable options such as:

• Adjustable height to ensure ergonomic comfort.
• Add-ons like drawers, shelves, or tool racks to enhance storage and organisation.
• Surface customisation options (e.g., wood, steel, anti-static) for specific tasks.

Here at Benchmaster, we offer a wide range of customisable workbenches to meet your unique requirements.

3. Weight Capacity

Depending on your needs, it’s important to choose a workbench that can handle the load. If you’re working with heavy tools, machinery, or materials, make sure the bench is rated to support sufficient weight. Across our entire product range, you’ll find information about each item’s uniformally distributed load (UDL).

4. Mobility or Fixed Design

Do you need a fixed setup, or perhaps you’re looking for something that can be moved around? Mobile workbenches with tailor-made castors are perfect for dynamic workspaces, while fixed workbenches offer greater stability. It’s best to decide which design suits your workspace before making a decision.

5. Built-in Storage Solutions

Integrated storage features such as drawers and cupboards can help keep your workspace organised and efficient long after your purchase. On our website, you can customise which accessories you’d like to include with your workbench. We recommend choosing a design that reduces clutter, while keeping essential tools within easy reach.

6. Anti-Static Features for Electronics

If you’re working in industries like electronics or technology, anti-static workbenches are essential to prevent static electricity from damaging sensitive components. Our range of ESD-ready workbenches are designed with your industry in mind, meeting meet specification EN61340-5-1. Check them out here.
