USA3 tips for choosing truly functional workshop benches and cabinets
When it comes to furnishing the workshop, counters and cabinets designed to increase the efficiency and productivity of those who work in your workshop every day must be selected. What features must be taken into account when choosing the perfect furnishings? We recommend the following three: modularity, variety of compartments and customisation possibilities.
A self-respecting mechanical workshop necessarily requires sturdy workbenches and solid and capacious workshop cabinets. However, some furnishings on the market are less practical and complete than they may seem.
Which aspects should you aim 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 therefore 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 having to replace it 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 practice to choose storage solutions that are able to accommodate all the tools, of any size, found in the workshop.
Our second suggestion is to include cabinets with large and small compartments and enhance 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 upgrade your workbenches with tool trolleys and drawer units, to better catalogue all the equipment and small parts.
3 - Customise them according to your workshop's style and brand identity
A customised work environment, even in colours 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 strong company.
Precisely for these reasons, the largest car brand workshops meticulously design all furnishings, obtaining a unique and immediately recognisable result.
One more tip from the DEA experts? Always favour steel cabinets and tops that are customisable with epoxy paint: in addition to adding an extra touch of colour, it will protect your furniture from corrosion and scratches for a very long time.
DEA benches and cabinets: solidity and style in your workshop
DEA workshop benches and cabinets integrate perfectly into any type of composition: for repair and body shops in general, but also for specific environments such as the diagnostic or acceptance zone.
Choose the modules that adapt to your premises and make them entirely yours with all the customisations you want. If necessary, we can help you to design workstations that are entirely custom-made to your requirements.
The customisation possibilities are truly endless. Discover the entire range of DEA modular furniture.
