Description
Tables can be tailored to your specific needs, ensuring they meet your space and functionality requirements. Whether you need a simple workbench or a multi-tiered workstation with built-in shelving and drawers, customization options abound.
Requirements and functionality
The lab bench is where most tasks take place. Identifying the current and future needs of the lab will help determine:
- The appropriate workbench countertop material.
- Mobile or stationary: if your laboratory design is evolving, a portable worktable is the best choice.
- Accessories and customization: LED overhead lights, adjustable top shelving, electric hydraulic systems, cable management, cooled enclosures, sound isolation and others.

Frame Types
Frame types determine load capacity, legroom, and a few other features. Common types include C-frame and H-frame styles which determines where the bottom cross support beam is welded.
C-frame benches are remarkably steady and provide high load capacity. They have generous knee and legroom for sitting workstations, and can be equipped with mobile or suspended under bench units.
They are suitable as a work surface and storage area for lab work. They also provide supporting construction for analytical equipment.
The H-frame benches provide excellent stability for add-on tables, analysis, and mobile tables for seated or standing work.
The H-frame benches apply as work surface and storage area for laboratory work with optional bottom shelves available. In addition to this, they provide supporting construction for analytical equipment.
Mobile vs. Stationary
Mobile over stationary advantages includes lower costs and the ability to replace or upgrade individual elements without modifying the entire lab space. Mobile tables are equipped with your choice of caster (standard, locking or leveling) for easy relocation within the room.
Stationary lab benches are fixed to the floor or overhead structure, enhancing their ability to support heavy loads. Levelling feet are available for adjustments as needed.
Despite its disadvantages, the stationary lab bench offers the lowest initial cost. This factor is an essential consideration during the selection process.
Height Adjustable
Some models are height adjustable with pin or screw adjustments. More advanced options are available with manual crank or hydraulic lift features.
