Do you take Custom Workbench Orders?

BenchPro™, our manufacturer, has the capacity to make virtually any workbench product from wood and steel. They can also use any Nevamar™ laminate, and powder paint in any Cardinal™ color. Chrome, brass, zinc plating also available. Custom orders generally take one or two weeks extra, depending on size, availability of materials and complexity.

Do you handle Custom Sizes?

Need longer? Because longer means weaker we recommend multiple benches be used for lengths greater than 10' feet.
Need extra deep work surface? Series K offers our deepest benches, with table tops up to 60" deep. See K-Series bench.

What does it Cost to Ship?

Your workbench quotation will include the price of shipping the product to your location. This freight quote is based on the size, weight, and freight classification of the shipment, and reflects the maximum discounts available to BenchPro as a large shipper.
Sometimes our larger customers receive even larger discounts, and can request that we use their carrier.

How are these Packaged for shipping?

Series K and Series D are both packaged flat (disassembled) in 6" high cartons. These cartons have internal bumper strips to protect the edges of the tops, plus the corners have additional edge protectors. The individual boxes are placed on pallets, and are strapped down securely. We make each pallet 4" longer and wider than the benches, so the carriers can't bump the benches around too easily.

Is it hard to Assemble the benches?

• Shipping cartons are placed flaps-up and opened. Legs are positioned. Two bolts are inserted per leg. Benches are turned over.
  
  
• Drawers are attached while the bench is still upside down. Slide out top drawer. Remove 2 screws from bench frame. Insert and tighten 2 screws, close drawer.
  
  
• FootRests are attached by one bolt on either end. Bolt heads are hidden inside the tube by snapping a plug over the attaching hole.
  
  
• Upright rail sets are attached by sliding them into position over the two predrilled holes in the back corners. Put screws in the two holes.
  
  
• Accessories for the Uprights are attached by sliding their tabs into the slots on the uprights, then tapping them on the top to lock them.
  
  
• Earthquake Safety: Although we have never been notified of any options becoming dislodged, we offer an earthquake safe (at no additional cost) optional mounting system which slides over the top of the uprights.

What is the best work Surface Height for me?

You can order your benches at any height you wish without incurring additional cost, or select the lowest height you believe useful and add either our optional adjustable legs, our electric lift system or our crank-up system.

We have seen orders for almost every work surface height. Some Customers want to sit down and work, others want to stand. Here are some thoughts that may be of assistance:

• Typical work surface height for sitting is 30".
• Typical work surface height for standing is 36"
• You can order any height you wish at no extra charge.
• Desk chairs usually have a seat cushion height adjustability range of 17" to 22"
• Work surfaces should never be more than 8" to 9" higher than the top of the chair range. Conclusion: If you need a work surface higher than 31", you will need a taller chair.
• Tall chairs usually have a foot ring and a wider base. (Adjustable foot rings are critical as employees come in all sizes too.)
• Our tall chairs have a seat cushion height adjustability range of 21" to 31". (Some brands have ranges of only 5" or 8".)
• We do not recommend chairs be used at benches with work surfaces of 37" and higher, as some employees will attempt to "climb" the chair, and could be injured when the chair rolls or tips.

How tough is the Chemical Resistant laminate?

We use ChemArmor laminate from Nevamar. This laminate provides resistance to acids/bases, solvents, stains, indicators and general reagents. It is ideal for interior horizontal surfaces in laboratories, healthcare facilities, schools, photo processing, forensic labs and more.

ChemArmor offers chemical resistance with outstanding abrasion resistance, and has outstanding heat and impact resistance, too. In fact, it is the toughest laminate available today. Tests prove ChemArmor laminate from Nevamar has outstanding chemical resistance, plus significantly better NEMA wear value than competitive laminates. It all adds up to laminates that keep looking new longer in even the harshest environments.
