INVEST IN HEAVY DUTY WORKBENCHES

At Direct2U, We manufacture and supply our own welded heavy duty workbenches. This is at our 110,000 square ft UK distribution facility. Our wide range features a choice of heavy duty benches, all made with repetitive use in mind. With strength and durability provided, these workbenches are reliable long term investments. With so many options to choose from, we thought we'd describe some key features below. But first, let us explain some terminology!

What is UDL?

Whenever we mention the load capacity of a work benches we also mention ‘UDL’. We often get customer’s asking what is UDL? This stands for Uniformly Distributed Load. This refers to the weight rating of a piece of furniture. So, for workbenches, the UDL outlines the total weight a bench can take when weight's spread even. As this is relates to the bench's design, we calculate the UDL during the design process. Details such as the gauge of steel, worktop thickness and size will all influence the UDL.

Key Heavy Duty Workbench Features

We have a great choice of workbenches to choose from. Each with unique features suitable for different requirements. The purpose and workbench environment will determine what bench is right for you. To help you choose, we'll list some key features below:

Worktops

Choosing a worktop is an important decision. In our collection we have Laminate, Beech, Linoleum and Steel worktops. Each work surface has different qualities for different application to finish your fully welded workbench.

Beech - We view Beech worktops as the most ideal for heavier duty options. They have a high resistance to damage from sharp tools and high impact applications. Making it great for Tool Work, DIY Workers and Woodworkers. If Beech is an option then take a look at our Heavy Duty Industrial Workbenches (HDI). which are available with 27mm Beech worktop. The powder coated grey framework on the HDI Benches compliments the Beech appearance.

Laminate - Our most popular worktop is Laminate. We offer this across some of our core lines such as TUFF Heavy Duty Workbenches and Euroslide Heavy Duty. Our worktops are high quality with 20mm thick and provide a durable worktop for general application. What's great about laminate is that the material is easy to clean. Meaning that the worktop has high resistance to oil or grease.

Steel - Like Laminate, Steel has high resistance to substances such as grease and is easy to clean. It's also a very tough and durable option, not likely to crack. Popular in mechanical and industrial environments - you can choose a Steel top on our HDI range. As well as our Heavy Duty Steel Workbenches, which feature stainless steel cupboards.

UDL Capacity

Of course, the UDL Capacity is a significant feature! As we described earlier^, this will determine the amount of weight your workbench can take. Our heavy duty work bench range starts from 250kg all the way up to a huge 1500kg weight capacity. We encourage customers to consider the weight of their working items in advance. But, if you need some advice on this please contact our team!

Accessories

Our last significant feature to discuss is accessories! The accessory options will differ with each metal workbench. But, our best sellers will all feature the same ergonomic accessory options.

Options include above bench items such as lighting, shelving, and service ducts. Combi Panels are one of our most popular picks above bench as they can store small parts and components. A lot of our customers also opt for retaining lips. The retaining lips provide a protection around the bench to prevent items falling. With heavy duty items, this safety feature is often recommended.

Below Bench accessories relate to our choice of features below your engineering workbenches. On most of our ranges this is where you'll find a choice of storage options. Including drawer and cupboard units, as well as base shelf lowering.
