Bespoke, ESD Ready, Packing, Heavy Duty, Mobile and Height Adjustable workbenches are just a few examples.

What are Workbenches used for?

This depends on which industry the workbench is used in. Typically, workbenches are used to complete manual work on and to store many tools and applications on the bottom shelf or in the drawers.
