Other types of laboratory workbenches include tables with and without storage, tables with both storage and a sink, portable workbenches, and microscope workbenches.
Clean Air Industrial Workbenches
This type of industrial workbench uses filtered air flows within an enclosed workspace. The filtered air creates a sterile environment to protect both lab workers and samples from airborne contaminants. Different airflow options are available, including both horizontal and vertical, and each is suitable for different laboratory tasks.
Tilt-Top Industrial workbenches
This type of table is designed for applications that require a tilted surface, such as drafting. These tables also provide ergonomic support. Both light and heavy-duty options are available and surfaces can be adjusted manually (standard) or with a hydraulic lift hand crank or motor.
Vibration Damping/Isolation Workbenches
This type of industrial workbench protects sensitive equipment from vibration caused by industrial machinery. Vibration protection is provided through both the granite table top and levelling feet. These tables are useful when working with analytical balances, control scales, spectroscopes, microscopes, roughness testers, and other specialized laboratory equipment.
Adjustable Height Industrial Workbenches
Adjustable Height Industrial Workbenches are useful if more than one person will be using the workbench. These tables can be raised or lowered manually or by using hydraulic handles. The adjustable height helps to prevent workplace injuries such as muscle strains. ADA handicapped accessible tables are also available.

Mobile Tables/Utility Carts
These tables are a great industrial workbench option if you need to move products in a warehouse or transport heavy scientific instruments in the laboratory. Different types of carts are available, including Heavy-Duty Carts, Packaging Carts, Roll Storage Carts, and many others.
Stainless Steel Industrial Workbenches
Stainless steel industrial workbenches are known for being extremely durable, strong, and easy-to-clean. Steel is also resistant to stains, scratches, heat, impact, bending, and corrosion which makes them suitable for a variety of situations.
