Four Factors to Consider Before Ordering Industrial Workbenches

October 21, 2013

If you’re planning on ordering industrial workbenches – then you might want to read this first… we’ll be discussing some of the main aspects of wise furniture purchases – which, in the end, can help ensure that your investments are worth every cent spent. Interested? Read on…

Industrial workbenches and furniture pieces can be very viable investments, considering the durability and quality that they bring into the picture. After all, these are made of industrial strength materials, which means – they are built to last.

Before proceeding, however, it would be useful to know that purchasing furniture pieces – whether traditional or industrial – involves some details that need to be taken note of. Hence, it would be to your best interest if you’re able to know the different aspects of industrial furniture, in order to reap its benefits accordingly.

Why Choose Industrial Workbenches and Furniture Instead of Other Options?

Well, the answer to this question is really simple. It’s because this furniture type is more durable than all others.

Think about it: industrial workbenches, shelves, ergonomic chairs, lift tables and other custom furniture pieces are made of steel, wood and other high-quality materials – making them longer lasting compared to all other furniture types. Being so, they can be an excellent investment that you should seriously consider.

Take The Following Into Account When Making Industrial Furniture Purchases:

Of course, it doesn’t mean that since a particular seller is claiming that its furniture pieces are made of industrial-strength materials, that you should automatically believe them. To be sure, choose carefully and buy wisely. How? By taking into account the following details:

Manufacturer – reputable furniture manufacturers such as RDM industrial Products are quite careful with their brand and reputation. As it is, they will do what it takes to ensure that their current and prospective clients get only top-notch services – and nothing less.

Materials – as mentioned earlier, industrial workbenches and furniture pieces are made of industrial strength materials such as steel, wood and other very durable alloys. Accordingly, you will need to ensure that those industrial furniture pieces you’re intending to buy actually have the materials needed to ensure durability and longevity.

Price – this is an obvious choice. Try to look around and see what different sellers are offering. This will give you an idea as to the amount of money that you’ll need to shell out. Take note though: don’t base your decision on price alone. Quality is and will always have to be more important than price. Incidentally, RDM offers both affordability and high quality in all of its furniture pieces (see them for yourself).

Shipping – considering that industrial furniture is literally a “big” purchase – it would be useful if you have an idea with regards the shipping costs that a particular seller is offering. Again, this is an important factor that you should not leave unheeded (well, not unless you like bringing those bulky and heavy furniture pieces yourself).

A Heavy Duty Table Is Suitable For Craft Stores

February 22, 2012

When we think of businesses that could use a heavy duty table, a craft store does not usually come to mind. However, durable work tables are perfect for holding bolts of fabric and picture mattes during the cutting process. They are long, wide, and able to withstand heavy objects. These industrial furnishings are even used as work benches for crafting classes held in-house.

Stores order fabric in bulk quantities called bolts. The amount of fabric in a bolt varies based on the manufacturer and type of fabric. As a general example, there are usually 15 to 20 yards of a cotton print on a bolt. With a large, heavy duty table, it is easier for employees to roll out and cut several yards of fabric at once. The material does not drag on the ground, where it could get dirty.

Not all craft projects deal with tiny items like beads. Some of the materials are actually quite heavy. Work benches provide sturdy support while working on projects like wood carving or painting furniture. Crafters can put two work benches together to create one large craft table. The project stays off the ground where it could be kicked or otherwise damaged.

A wooden heavy duty table makes a good student work bench for craft store classes. Several students can sit around the table, sharing supplies as needed while each having individual work space. The sturdy legs keep the table level, even if several students lean on the work surface at the same time. A lower shelf serves as a footrest.

Crafters may find a place for a heavy duty table within their home. They can set up shop in the basement, attic, or another room in the house and spread out their supplies and equipment. A person who is only an occasional crafter and has limited space in the home may find a folding table more appropriate.

RDM Custom Table Solutions- The Adjustable Table

January 19, 2012

In some work environments, a fixed height table is not sufficient and an adjustable table is required instead. Adjustable height tables make it convenient for workers to access and see the items they are working on. They also enable people of different heights to use the same workstation by making only a minor adjustment. When they order height adjustable tables, you can reduce the amount of furniture needed, lowering overall costs.

Adjustable height tables come in different styles designed to withstand various types of use. Standard to heavy duty tables are used in laboratories and manufacturing environments. A light to medium duty adjustable table is also suitable for a laboratory or office environment and can frequently be found in a college or university classroom.

An adjustable height table can be used as an equipment stand, microscope table, or a standard work surface. Workers in wheelchairs find it most comfortable to work at an ADA handicapped accessible adjustable table because they can adjust the work surface to the proper level for working from their chair. When they finish working, they simply raise the height of the table in order to safely remove themselves from the area.

Customers can save money by retrofitting existing tables with leg lift kits. These kits support up to 20,000 pounds and turn a stationary height table into an adjustable height table. Manual or electric operation is available and one to six cylinder versions can be found. When a light duty lift system is selected, a memory switch allows users to program their desired table height.

Height adjustable tables may contain four or more legs, depending on the size of the work surface. Adjustable table legs can be equipped with casters that allow the table to be moved. There are full-time caster tables, which provide casters (wheels) that remain in contact with the floor at all times. There are also momentary casters, which raise and lower with the frame. This style provides the best option for tables that hold heavy machinery, since the table cannot be moved around when the table legs are extended at any height. Adjustable height tables are available in many configurations and lift styles at RDM Industrial Products. Feel free to contact them for your adjustable table needs.

When outfitted with custom industrial workbench accessories, workbenches can be designed to streamline work processes. Custom furniture intended for specific industrial applications makes it easier for operators to perform their jobs.

These arms offer an adjustable positioning system for CRT or flat monitor screen, keeping the work surface clear for other uses. Work benches for computer use can also be equipped with CPU support brackets or sliding CPU shelves, mouse and keyboard trays, and accessories for cable management.

Articulating custom industrial workbench accessories include a storage tray system, tool peg board, document holder stand, and storage bin panel system. Custom furniture that includes a tool peg board and storage tray or bins is suitable for industries engaged in manufacturing, woodworking, light assembly, and metalworking. A document holder stand made from polypropylene is ideal for a cleanroom environment.

Drawer storage options for workbenches include plastic, painted metal, and laminated wood drawers designed for files or utility purposes. Stainless steel, full-width, heavy-duty and mobile pedestal drawers are also available. Work benches used as packaging tables can be equipped with different types of roll holders or box dividers, label holders, articulating storage trays, or open vertical storage cabinets. Having access to all the needed materials on your work bench eliminates the need to travel between stations.
