Height Adjustable Workbenches

Adjustable workbenches for demanding environments

Height-adjustable workbenches are simple and safe to operate, making them essential to improve efficiency. They are designed with heavy duty use in demanding assembly areas and workshops in mind, but also aim to be employee-friendly and ergonomic. They are as durable as our industrial workbenches but with the additional adjustable flexibility.

There are 3 different mechanisms available to adjust the working height of the bench between its various heights.

Perhaps the simplest and most cost-effective option you can choose is the allen key height adjustment mechanism. When the screws are loosened, at intervals down the edge of the bench legs, the height can be adjusted. Then, when tightened again, they keep the new level firmly in place, ready for work to resume.

The third way of adjusting the workbench height is by using an electric motor. Simply press the easily accessible up and down buttons to achieve the perfect working height for your current job. This is the quickest and easiest way to change the workbench height and keep production rolling.

Key Benefits of Height-Adjustable Workbenches

Investing in a height-adjustable workbench brings many benefits, making it a key piece of equipment in any busy workplace. It is versatile and ideal for use in industrial settings, workshops, offices, and much more.

Some key benefits include:

Improved Comfort - Ergonomics and employee welfare are improved, allowing the operator to decide the best working position for them. In turn, this reduces work-related injuries, fatigue, and discomfort.

Flexibility - These benches are cost-effective, saving money by allowing multiple operators to use the same bench. This is ideal for shift workers who have different working heights.

Productivity - Improved ergonomics boosts productivity, meaning employees are less fatigued and more productive over long working hours. In addition, it allows operators to carry out many different tasks, improving productivity within the team.

ESD Options - We also feature ESD adjustable workbenches that protect staff welfare and reduce costly damage to electronics. This is ideal for those in the electronics and engineering industry.

Sit or stand?

A height-adjustable workbench offers the user the flexibility to either sit or stand during their working day. This choice is either based on their comfort or determined by other factors such as the size and weight of the object they are working with.

This means that you no longer need two separate workbenches for jobs that require standing and those that require sitting. A height-adjustable workbench is versatile enough to handle both tasks, and everything in between.

The flexibility that can be achieved is also useful if several people use the same workstation. It allows the workspace to always compliment the user’s requirements and adapt to their workload, making it perfect for shift-based work.

Choosing the Right Adjustable Workbench

There are a few factors to consider when choosing the right bench for your environment:

Type: Choose between manual with hand-crank, electric with push-button or settable options.

Load Capacity:It is best to establish the weight you need and opt for something higher, to ensure you don't exceed the load capacity. Our benches range from 200-500kg with bespoke options available on request.

Worktop: Explore if you are best suited to Laminate, Beech, Linoleum, plus more!

Above & Below Accessories: We offer a range of above and below accessories to improve organisation and provide secure tool storage to keep your workspace tidy for your next project.

Mobility: If you require an electric workbench, height-adjustable benches aren't the best option as many don't include castors and will require a plug nearby.

Improve ergonomics with accessories

Our range of Treston Workbenches and our Premium Height Adjustable Workbenches have optional accessories to further improve them. These accessories range from useful below-bench storage, to keep necessary items at hand, to additional lighting to improve visibility for the users.

The above bench accessories create a comfortable vertical working area, and the adjustable arms can be used to make sure that the reach zone is not too large. This ensures that the users aren’t overstretching to reach parts or tools and will help them avoid any repetitive strain over time.

Using height-adjustable workbenches in combination with their accessories can create the perfect ergonomic area, specifically tailored for your workspace. This will lead to both improved productivity and an increase in the consistency and quality of your end product.
