• Manufacturing and Assembly

Workers consistently spend eight hours a day bent over a fixed-height table, assembling intricate components. They can suffer injuries as a result. This makes the industrial adjustable height table a game changer for manufacturing factories. Workers can customize the height to their comfort, reducing strain and improving productivity. Plus, it minimizes the risk of repetitive strain injuries. 

• Laboratories

Lab work often involves microscopic details, sensitive equipment and the occasional chemical explosion. Adjustable tables allow scientists to switch between sitting and standing positions, ensuring optimal posture while conducting delicate experiments. The right height ensures accuracy, no matter whether it’s a research lab, pharmaceutical setup, or quality control station.

• Tech and Design Studios

Tech geniuses and designers are notorious for working in bursts of inspiration – sometimes hunched over sketches, other times pacing around brainstorming the next big thing. An adjustable height table accommodates both moods. Need to map out a blueprint while standing? Want to sit and code for hours? All are possible, making it a must-have for engineers, and architects. 

• Warehouses and Packing Stations

If you’ve ever packed a hundred boxes in a row, you know that bending down repeatedly is a workout no one asked for. Adjustable height tables in warehouses can solve this issue by bringing the work to the worker, reducing physical strain and increasing efficiency in the process. Employees can switch between heights based on the task – whether it’sits packing, labelling or sorting. This makes the entire process faster and smoother. 

• Medical and Rehabilitation Centres

From physiotherapy clinics to hospitals, adjustable height tables serve a crucial role. A therapist may needIt may happen that a therapist needs to adjust a table for different patients, or a medical professional requires a flexible workstationa workstation which is flexible. Adjustable height tables can adapt effortlessly. For rehabilitation, patients with mobility issues benefit from tables that can be customized to their specific needs. 

• Educational Institutions

Classrooms and labs in schools, colleges and universities can benefit greatly from them. The tables can fit students of different ages and heights, making sure everyone has a comfortable and ergonomic workspace. They are ideal for science labs, where experiments require varying work surface heights. Additionally, art and design students can adjust the tables to suit their creative processes, whether they are drawing, painting orand sculpting. 

Conclusion 

Industrial adjustable height tables prove that the right table can do more than just hold things—it can transform workplaces. Whether in a lab, warehouse, or creative studio, these tables make work more comfortable, efficient, and ergonomic. So, if your workspace isn’t rising to the occasion, maybe it’s time to adjust your expectations—and your table.

The post 6 Brilliant Applications of Industrial Adjustable Height Tables appeared first on RDM Industrial Products.

We will cover why adjustable height tables are essential for your work, what industries benefit the best, key benefits to look for, and more.

Why Use Adjustable Industrial Tables?

If we were to boil down the difference between adjustable industrial workbenches and regular industrial workbenches, what do you think the one difference is? It should be obvious by the name. Adjustable tables have adjusting heights.

This is usually achieved through hydraulics to make the adjustment easier. While you might only think these tables can go up and down, we also provide tables with adjustable tilts, which can be good for drafting or projects where a flat surface is not needed.

There are two major reasons to choose adjustable tables over regular ones. A standard table is made for a standard height. If your employees range significantly in height, then some will find the table too high or low for their needs. This increases accidents and frustrates workers.

Another reason you may want one is that your projects come in various sizes. For example, let’s say that your work often involves both large and small items. Employees would be able to reduce the table height when working with large items and vice versa. This makes them more comfortable and improves the accuracy of their work.

What Industries Benefit Most?

RDM Double-Sided Adjustable Industrial Workbench.

There are some industries that benefit more from adjustable industrial mobile tables and adjustable industrial tables than others. The truth is that most industries that benefit from industrial work tables will benefit from adjustable height tables. They are simply more versatile and prepared for workers and projects of varying heights.

These tables are ideal in any laboratory. When paired with the right material, such as stainless steel, you can create a work area for various workers to mix chemicals, clean between projects, and have a safe and comfortable work environment.

Manufacturing plants are quite the same. Your workers will often be handling corrosive and hazardous materials. The last thing you want is for these workers to be uncomfortable. That increases the chances of accidents along with daily aches and pains. These tables keep workers safer and happier.

There are other industries as well. The food industry requires industrial mobile tables, and adjustable industrial mobile tables make it easier for different workers to take shifts without being uncomfortable.

Don’t forget about the medical industry. Both doctors and techniques can use these tables for moving medical supplies, checking samples, and doing their work while saving lives.

What Key Features and Benefits are Most Important?

There are many key features and benefits to consider. There are some you should consider as the buyer or manager or who is supplying the office and some as the end-user who will be using the industrial tables.

Let’s start with the adjustments since that’s one of the most important aspects of these industrial tables. You must make sure that the table at least matches the minimum and maximum your workers will need. It’s best to overestimate by a few inches each way. This will ensure they stay comfortable and can work on many projects.

You should also consider if you need an adjustable tilt. This is beneficial if workers commonly find it difficult to work on horizontal surfaces, such as with drafting.

Many industrial workbenches can come with wheels and casters. This helps if the tables are commonly used to carry supplies or are frequently moved around. You must also consider the material. Many industrial spaces require stainless steel and similar materials, but other industries might be better off with wood or plastic laminate.

Your workers will care about how easy it is to use the table. We offer both hydraulic and manual lifts. Hydraulic will be better in most cases. They will also care about comfort. Our tables are made to be ergonomic, so be sure to contact us and we can pair you with the best adjustable height tables for your needs. Workers will also care about maximum weight if they work with heavier loads.

What to Know About Adjustable Industrial Tables Before Making a Purchase

You should first consider what you need from the table itself. Some industries require stainless steel for its resistance to static shock and thorough cleanliness. Others might require plastic laminate or wood.

The next thing to consider is the overall height. Consider how high and low the table must go and add a few extra inches. This will ensure that every worker will be comfortable and that every project can be completed properly. You should also consider the lift mechanism as we offer both hydraulic and manual.

You should then consider extra features that you need. This can include wheel and casters, storage shelves, lighting, and more. We are RDM Industrial are manufacturer direct and can build custom tables for your needs. Contact us and tell us what you need.

The post The Importance of Adjustable Industrial Tables appeared first on RDM Industrial Products.

So, the question arises: How to fulfill this all-important need?

We’d like to offer a simple and obvious answer: Industrial Carts!

Industrial carts, utility carts, heavy duty carts, mobile tables and more! Across their many variants and styles, fundamentally, carts are just surfaces or containers on wheels. And yet, applied and used rightly, they can help your organization and your workers or researchers reach new heights of smoothness and efficiency in their operations.

Since its original establishment back in 1977, the overriding mission of RDM Industrial Products has been to manufacture the highest grade and best quality industrial and laboratory furniture possible, while putting power into the hands of our clients and customizing our products to their needs. Our industrial-quality laboratory carts represent one crucial facet of that mission.

RDM Industrial Cart – Model MC-109P-SSTOP-CONT-01

Let us tell you a bit about the various kinds of factory-direct carts that we can create for you. Here, we’ll give you details on the many different types of carts that RDM manufactures, their diverse uses and key features, and why you and your organization stand to benefit from having them.

Why You Need Industrial-Quality Carts

Before we launch into describing the different kinds of industrial carts that RDM can put at your disposal, a brief statement about their usefulness and purpose seems to be in order.

As we will show, utility carts can vary rather widely. This variation implies concomitant variation in uses and purposes. However, in the most general sense, all of our carts can provide you and your organization with two things: convenience and increased efficiency. Using carts to transport materials means faster transportation. Rather than lugging everything back and forth by hand, your staff can seamlessly slide around whatever they need from places to place. That not only means that they’ll get their work done faster, but it also implies that certain heavy items which might not have been transportable at all will become transportable.

Beyond this, any more specific uses and advantages — like durability or safety — will depend on the specific cart model or models in question.

Some of Our Different Types of Carts

Because RDM manufactures so many different carts, it’s probably better to divide our models into a few broad classes and highlight their peculiar features rather than to launch into a detailed discussion of each and every model that we manufacture. Those interested in a fuller and more fine-grained  list of our Carts, look here for additional information:

• Lab Carts:

  This is a fairly broad category. Laboratory carts are the sorts of carts most likely to be used in laboratories. Meaning, they can be divided into two more-or-less distinct categories: standard multi-level transportation carts mobile workstations. The former are usually two-layered (although a larger multilayered model also exists), steel-framed carts which are usually designed to assist in transporting lab compounds, tools or safety equipment. Because many research lab compounds can be volatile or dangerous, such carts are usually made with to be ESD static-resistant, flame-resistance and/or resistant to chemical corrosion. The latter essentially amount to mobile tables. They generally come with added features like drawers, storage racks, special compartments in which to house instruments, a special area set aside to keep a computer, a sliding surface on which to keep a keyboard and so on. They combine all of the advantages of a standard lab workstation with the mobility of a cart. You can examine the great  variety of RDM’s lab carts here.

• Stainless Steel Industrial Carts:

  Stainless steel utility carts are built with sturdiness primary in mind. Not only do our heavy duty carts possess impressive longevity and an ability to resist accumulated long-term wear and tear, but their steel design often makes them ideal for use in certain laboratory settings as well. Many of these models can be built to be flame and chemical-resistant. Often, they come equipped with drawers and utility racks, thus allowing workers to keep important tools near at hand. Have a  look at some of our stainless steel carts here.

• Adjustable Height Carts:

  Adjustable height carts are some of our most popular and useful models. These carts typically have at least one bottom-level surface and one top-level one. You thus have the ability to manipulate the distance between the top and bottom layers, and we can custom-design the total amount of available lift to be anywhere from 6 to 16 inches. Height can be adjusted using either a manual hand crank or a hydraulic motor operated by buttons. Depending on the model you select, motors can have 1,000, 1,500, 2,000 or even 3,000-pound lift capacities. Adjustable height carts are especially useful if you need to transport objects of diverse size — some large and some small — across your workspace. Or if the things you’re transporting occasionally need to be moved up or down to be placed within someone’s reach.

Specialized Industrial Carts

In addition to the broad categories listed above, we also offer a few specialized designed for extremely specific purposes. These carts are not made according to the standard “platform-on-wheels” architecture of most carts. Here are a few of them:

• PCB Carts:

  The primary purpose of a PCB or Printed Circuit Board cart is to transport sensitive electronic components. Things like printed circuit boards. These carts contain special slots wherein such board can be inserted. Since they are made to be both flame-resistant and insulated against electricity, you can also use them to transport all kinds of sensitive and volatile chemicals. We also allow you to customize the carts’ height and color. As well as to add in tube steel frames and side panel routed guides for greater sturdiness.

• Peg Boards:

  Peg boards are large, vertically positioned panels on wheels which are studded with pegs. You can hang all manner of objects on these pegs. Sometimes, small metal baskets can be attached to the pegs to assist in carrying other kinds of objects. This type of cart ideal for transporting power tools like drills, wrenches and screwdrivers.

• Packaging Carts:

  Packaging carts are used in packaging facilities to more easily wrap and package objects. They consist of a series of metal bars on which large rolls of packaging paper, tape, plastic wrap or some other packaging material can be placed. You can then access that material on the fly and wrap up whatever you need to.

Conclusion

As we have shown you, industrial carts, though they seem to be fairly simple tools, can actually be a rather heterogenous bunch. What’s been discussed in this post, is meant to give you a small taste of the kinds of carts that we can make for you. To learn more, we encourage you to explore our selection and give us a call.

All of RDM’s carts are factory-direct and are proudly manufactured in the USA. So if your workspace is crying out something a little extra to make everyday tasks run more smoothly, don’t hesitate to give us a call and describe the exact sorts of carts that you need. RDM will promptly build them all to your precise specifications.

However, labs are complex things with many moving parts. Thus, lab managers must take into account the fact that each lab researcher/technician is different. Each might do his/her best work under different circumstances. The ideal, would be for every manager to try, as far as possible, to create special work environments for each of his/her workers. Workspaces that play to their strengths, making them comfortable, enabling higher productivity. Since people are different, your equipment should be versatile enough to handle those differences.

Height adjustable tables are quite useful tools. Precisely because they’re versatile enough to accommodate the differences between many different styles of workers. But suppose that you’ve already bought a set of tables that are not height-adjustable. And suppose that your lab is on a budget and can’t afford to scrap older equipment to buy everything new. What do you do then?

This is where RDM’s quality-designed and manufacturer-direct add-on lift kits & systems come into play. With these handy kits, you’ll be able to retrofit your ordinary tables and benches. You’ll reap all of the benefits of height-adjustability without shelling out tons of money for new lab furniture.

RDM Industrial Products has been in the business of making factory-direct lab furniture for more than four decades. Since we always work to the specifications of our customers, customizability and versatility are at the very heart of what we do. Let us tell you a bit about our height-adjustability lift kits. How they work, what benefits they can bring to your lab and how you can use them to retrofit and give new life to your old furniture.

Our Lift Kits and How They Work

RDM Hydraulic Lift Kits/Systems

Our kits can be classified according to a few different ways, and each classification conveys important information about their general features, how they work and what kinds of added capabilities they can extend to your lab tables. We think it’s best, however, to describe our models by their mounting systems and mechanisms. Here is a brief description of some of our models:

• External Mounting on a Steel Frame:

  This kind of hydraulic kit is meant to be latched on to the steel legs of a lab bench or table. You can customize the lift system to work either via a manual hand crank or a hydraulic motor. If you opt for the crank, you can use either an extended crank, a retracted or a T-handle crank. The first two of these can be customized to provide anywhere between 500 and 1,000 pounds of life, while the last option provides 1,500 pounds of lift. On the other hand, if you choose to outfit the table with the hydraulic lift system and a motor, you can choose to operate the motor either via simple sup/down switches or a pedal. The option also exists to input certain special height settings into the system’s memory so that you can trigger them with the push of a button. All of these motorized options can provide anywhere between 500 and 1,500 pounds of lift.

• Mounts to an Aluminum Frame:

  These kits operate on principles to the one already mentioned, but they are meant to be attached to industrial tables and benches with aluminum frames. This option can be further subdivided into those models that attach externally to the table, onto the sides of its legs, and those that attach internally, usually providing lift to the legs from below. In both cases, however, many of the basic functions are similar. Lifting and lowering can be done either through a manual hand crank or a hydraulic lift system. Hydraulic motors can be controlled either by buttons and switches on the side of the table or by a pedal. Once again, lift power can vary from between 500 and 1,500 pounds. Also, You can customize your adjustment ranges so that you can make finer-grained height adjustments as you desire them. Models come with the option to put in six-inch, eight-inch, ten-inch or twelve-inch strokes.

• Telescoping Systems:

  These kits function via special cylindrical, telescoping legs. This telescoping feature is what can ultimately turn your ordinary tables into heigh adjustable tables. The lifts themselves come in 500-pound, 1,000-pound and 1,500-pound versions. They can be discreetly hidden away or made to blend in with and appear as a natural part of the rest of your table. Once again, either manual cranks or hydraulic motors can be used to operate the system. The hydraulic motors can be set up to produce moment that go in either 12-inch or 16-inch increments. As for the crank, one full turn of it corresponds to about one inch of either raising or lowering.

Some General Benefits of Our Lift Kits and Of Lift Tables

The most obvious and direct benefit that flows from using a lift kit is that it can turn ordinary and static work tables into height adjustable tables. It can often be done quite economically, easily and without requiring you replace any equipment. Therefore, all of the benefits that flow from having ergonomic tables in your lab will also indirectly emerge out of using our kits. Some of these benefits are as follows:

• Versatility:

  As already alluded to above, lab workers are a heterogeneous bunch. Many people are tall and just as many are short. Some work sitting down, while others insist on doing things standing up. And a few might have health problems that could limit the duration for which they can sit or stand in place. All seemingly requiring you to find alternative arrangements for them to do their best work. When your industrial tables are versatile, height-adjustable and able to function in a variety of conditions, your lab will generally be a better place.

• Comfort for Your Staff:

  Ergonomic tables that are suitable for a wide variety of different workers and their particular needs will make your workers more commutable while they work. The plus side of this is rather obvious.

• Increased Productivity and Work Satisfaction:

  Comfortable workers are happy workers, and happy workers are productive workers. Thus, retrofitting your tables with ergonomic properties not only has certain altruistic benefits, but it also a blessing in a much more direct and self-interested way. Keep your lab staff comfortable and your bottom line will improve.

Anyone who is generally interested in RDM’s factory-direct ergonomic tables, by the way, should look here to check out some of our models.

Conclusion

RDM has been committed to manufacturing the finest laboratory furniture for over four decades. We take pride in the fact that our products are manufactured in the USA according to the highest standards. We know that the functional, aesthetic and ergonomic aspects of lab furniture all tie into one another. We’re also all about saving your lab money and putting as much power into your hands as possible.

And for those reasons, we just can’t encourage you enough to give some serious attention to our lift kits. Let us help you give your old lab tables a new lease on life.

The post Retrofit Your Industrial & Laboratory Tables With Add-On Lift Kits appeared first on RDM Industrial Products.

It’s hard to imagine most, if not all, of these things being done effectively — or even at all — if good and reliable lab tables were not at the disposal of the research staff. The table surface, after all, is where all of the magic happens. Lab tables are the foundation for all the lab activities alluded to above.

In essence, a lab table is a simple thing. It’s just a flat, horizontal surface with some legs to hold it up. And though each and every one of our laboratory tables and benches fits that general template, we customize too. We offer all kinds of factory-direct models for sale that have specialized capabilities ranging far beyond what that simple description can capture.

RDM prides itself on designing industrial-grade lab furniture. Always built to the very highest standards of quality and functionality. Because lab benches and tables occupy such a critical place at the very heart of any lab, it’s especially important for us to get them right. We bring more than forty years of distinguished experience to our manufacturing and designs.

Here’s a look at just some of the many differs kinds of lab tables that RDM can build for you, what they can do for your lab, what they are made of and what special features they can have to make them stand out.

RDM Lab Tables Types & Their Features

Our large selection of industrial-quality lab tables can be split into a number of categories. Doing this allows us to isolate their specific features. Some of these categories and features include:

Shape:

Each and every one of our tables comes factory-direct. Meaning that we can build it for you according to your exact specifications and parameters. We believe in giving our customers as much power of customization as possible, and one of the ways we do that is by offering tables in as many different shapes as possible. Smaller square tables, longer rectangular tables, L-shaped tables, benches with 45-degree corners and more are all available for your perusal. Once you specify the shape you want, you’ll also be able to request specific dimensions.

Adjustable Height Lab Tables:

Our height-adjustable table models are some of the most perennially popular to come out of our facilities, and with good reason. Tables and workbenches that aren’t limited to being a specific height can be useful in a multitude of applications. Their height can be adjusted using either a hydraulic lift, a hand crank or both.

Tilting Tables:

We also manufacture certain tables whose surfaces can be tilted using a hydraulic lift and let to stand at an angle.

Light Tables:

Illuminated tables are like ordinary work tables and benches, except that they come with an added light source. Light automatically attached, usually some sort of large LED bulb or bulbs which can be turned on or off and whose intensity can be regulated. Light can either come from beneath the surface or from an overhead light boom. We can also add the ability to tilt the table surface if you require it.

Miscellaneous Features:

Our manufacturer-direct tables can also be built with a number of other useful miscellaneous features. These include wheels, which allow for mobility; overhead racks or cabinets as well ground-level shelves or cabinets, which increase storage capacity; and the ability to either drop of or add on table extensions, which can make your table longer or shorter as your specific circumstances happen to require.

Here’s a more comprehensive list of every lab bench and table we have at RDM Industrial Products.

Some Important General and Specific Benefits of Lab Tables

Generalities:

The primary general benefit of a good work table is that it provides lab researchers and staff with a reliable and sturdy place to work and keep all of the equipment that’s immediately necessary to perform their daily work. Certain units can also come equipped with cabinets, drawers or additional shelves or overhead racks. That gives these units added holding capacity. Lower shelves are also possible.

Specified Advantages:

Beyond these general advantages, our different units bring with them certain specific advantages, each unique to each type. For instance, stainless steel lab tables offer exceptional sturdiness and longevity. Our stainless steel lab tables can also be custom-designed to be chemical-resistant, flame-resistant and/or ESD static-resistant. These properties can be extremely useful when dealing with harsh, flammable or otherwise heavy-duty chemicals and tools. Anyone in search of long-term savings on lab furniture replacement costs should really give these units serious consideration.

Versatility:

Adjustable height lab tables provide a kind of versatility that is impossible for standard units. Every person is unique, and the same desk work arrangement isn’t going to be comfortable or optimal for everyone. The ability to adjust the table’s surface height enables the same unit to accommodate both short and tall workers and to be suitable both for those who enjoy working string down and for those who prefer to do it standing up.

Light Tables:

Light tables comprise a special category all their own. Their peculiar use lies in their ability to illuminate dark environments and to provide excellent visibility for experimental and research tasks where precision is essential.

Our Lab Tables Made With

Stainless Steel:

Used as a major building material, in constructing each quality-designed lab bench and table from RDM. Stainless steel is used in our other industrial-quality furniture as well. The reason why is fairly obvious. Reliability and sturdiness are indispensable in environments where caustic and corrosive chemicals are everywhere and there is always some risk of a spill.

Wood:

For simpler and less critical tasks, however, we also make standard wooden lab tables in many of the shapes and sizes already described. Such tables can be useful not only for simpler experimental work, but also as a place to keep a computer and allow clerks, receptionists and other workers of that sort to ply their trades.

Conclusion

Any research centre seeking to be efficient, well-managed, organized and comfortable for the working staff – including a collection of custom-designed laboratory tables is a simple fix. Of course, recognizing that labs have different needs, we build our tables according to a wide ranged of shapes and styles and use a diverse but dependable set of materials. We place into your hands the power to outfit them with all sorts of special features, both major and minor. Because we know that, while all labs have peculiar needs, the laboratory table is the backbone of any laboratory.

Over the course of RDM’s more than four-decade-long history, our products continue to be manufactured in the USA. We encourage you to take a look at what laboratory furnishings we have in stock and let us help you bring your lab up to the next level.

With so many moving parts to consider around the modern workplace, versatility is simply indispensable to all of your industrial workplace furniture. RDM Industrial Products proudly build industrial-quality furniture and tools for all of our clients. Among our most important products are our ergonomic lift tables.

Below, we’ll share with you some important information about the different kinds of adjustable height tables and workbenches that we can make for you. We’ll include, what some of their most useful features are. And, most importantly, how they can make your workplace a better, more pleasant, more efficient and more smooth-running place.

What Are Ergonomic Lift Tables and How Do They Work?

RDM Ergonomic Lift Table – Adjustable Height Table – Four-Leg, 1,000 lb capacity Hydraulic Lift.

For starters, just what is a lift table or workbench? Simply put, it is a table or workbench whose legs can be either lengthened or shortened at will. There are various ways to change the height of its work surface off the ground.

Height can be changed either manually, via a hand crank or a mechanism to or another mechanism to lengthen table legs. Or height can be adjusted automatically, via a special hydraulic motor.

You’ll also hear the word “ergonomic” thrown around a lot in reference to these tables. That simply means that they are all designed with worker convenience and comfort in mind. The ability to adjust the height is obviously one element of calibrating the perfect comfort level, as different workers are of different heights or may prefer to work either sitting or standing down, but other features — like leg rests, for example — also exist to improve comfort.

What Types of Lift Tables Can We Create For You?

With that very general overview in place, here are a few of the many different kinds of factory-direct lift tables that RDM can make for you or your workplace. As you go down this list, you’ll begin to get a feel for the impressive versatility that our tables and workbenches offer:

• Stainless Steel Lift Tables:

  The stainless steel adjustable height table is the bread and butter of RDM’s whole empire of height-adjustable furniture. We can make virtually any kind of stainless steel workbench or table precisely crafted to your needs, and our selection of models is enormous. These tables also teem with other important features that will be discussed below.

• I-Frame Tables:

  These tables have telescoping legs and come with a manual crank. You can use the crank to set the height where you need it and then lock the legs in place.

• L-Shaped Tables:

  These tables are shaped like a capital letter “L.” Due to that shape, they can be an ideal setting for teams of two to work together simultaneously on a project.

• Light Tables:

  If you need extra light, an adjustable height light table can beam light out from under its surface for you. Again, you can modify the height as needed either manually or electronically.

• Tilting Tables:

  For those times when a flat, vertical surface just won’t do, these tables’ surfaces can tilt and remain fixed at an angle. This could be perfect for engineers looking at building plans, artists, and so on. If you like, we can also make height-adjustable light tables with tilting surfaces.

• Cantilevered Ergonomic Lift Workstations:

  A cantilevered bench or desk is one whose surface is only fixed at one end. One of RDM’s cantilevered ergonomic lift workstations is the ES-107P. It comes with a manual hand crank to raise or lower its height, but can also be outfitted with an electric motor to do the same. Its lift capacity is 1,000 pounds for the manual version but can be varied from 1,500 to 3,000 pounds if you choose the version with the motor.

This list is only a taste of what we can offer you. For the full course, please check out our complete selection of ergonomic lift tables here.

Some Key Features

The grand versatility and abundance of options available to you don’t end simply at the broad kinds of tables that we have on offer. We can also custom design ergonomic lift tables for you with all kinds of special features.

Some of these features have already been alluded to when discussing the kinds of lift tables that we make, but here are some of the more important features in detail. As you go through them, you’ll get a better idea of just how quality-designed lift tables can make your work environment a better place:

• Surface Materials:

  Due to its durability, stainless steel is our most popular surface material, but we can also use other materials like wood and plastic laminate. We can also modify and specially design stainless steel surfaces to be either chemical-resistant, flame-resistant, or ESD static resistant. This is especially for stainless steel workbenches on which you plan to carry out chemical and other scientific experiments.

• Frame Materials:

  Stainless steel is also an extremely common frame material for our tables. Its strength makes it a natural choice to hold everything together. Tubular steel and aluminum are also popular options.

• Foot Rests:

  Footrests are a simple but important ergonomic feature. Many of our tables come standard with a cross member on which you can rest your feet while working. Even models that don’t have them can be custom designed to include them.

• Racks, Drawers, and Shelves:

  To enable you to have extra things close at hand while you work, we can make stainless steel lift tables for you with either overhead racks, like the F-107P, drawers, like the A-107P-SS-EXEC., or shelves, like the A-107P-SS-CLG.

• Weight Bearing Capacity:

  The weight-bearing capacity of or lift tables varies depending on the materials out of which the table is constructed and the type of lift system that it employs. The usual range is between 1,000 and 3,000 pounds. However, tables with tilting surfaces can also bear between 250 and 500 pounds as they tilt.

• Size:

  Surface size and length are also highly customizable. We can make models with surface detentions each as low as 30 inches to as high as 144 inches, depending on what the architecture of each particular model will allow The A-107P-SS-CLG Stainless Steel Workbench is an outstanding example of this because it is especially long, has a shelf and an expertly-designed hydraulic lift.

• Lighting:

  Our stainless steel adjustable height tables can be equipped with either overhead light booms or with light fixtures right next to the surface. Of course. adjustable height light tables will have light coming from beneath the table surface itself. You can even customize the color of the light.

Conclusion

With all of these options, features, styles, and uses at your fingertips, ergonomic lift tables will become an indispensable part of your workplace the moment you choose to introduce them. And if you’ve already had a need for a height adjustable stainless steel workbench in the past, then you already know.

But is this really true? Is comfort really so overrated? Or does making sure that desk workers have a pleasant and agreeable work environment have underappreciated ripple effects?

Increasingly, prominent companies in major industries have made investments in providing ergonomic tables and workstations to their workers. They’ve come to see that there are important spillover benefits to making such investments.

RDM Industrial Products offers many kinds of adjustable tables to laboratories and other workplaces where good desks are essential. Our products come in many varieties, are customizable, and are all proudly manufactured in the USA. Here’s some important information about the kinds of tables we can offer you and the ways in which they can make your workplace a happier and more productive place.

Types of Adjustable Height Tables

At its heart, a height adjustable desk is just what it sounds like it is — a desk whose platform height can be changed and whose legs can be either lightened or shortened, as the situation requires. But RDM manufactures a variety of different industrial-quality lift tables. Here are just a few of the categories that our products fall into:

• I-Frame Tables: These tables are perhaps the simplest and most standard kind of adjustable height desk. They come with telescoping legs which you can manually either lengthen or shorten. This is done using a crank located right at the front of the desk. Turn the crank one way to shorten the legs, and turn it the other way to lengthen them.
• Hydraulic Lift Tables: These tables come with a hydraulic motor which can be used to automatically either increase or decrease desk height to the ideal level. To do this, you simply flip a switch.
• Adjustable Height Tilt-Top Tables: These tables have the added special feature of allowing you to tilt their surfaces off to the side so that the table is made to look somewhat like an artist’s easel holding up a canvas. An adjustable height tilt top table can be either a light table — in which case, it would have its own lamps or lightbulbs to illuminate the table surface — or it can just be a standard table. Similarly, the raising and lowering mechanism can be customized to either be a hand crank, as in an I-frame table, or a hydraulic motor.
• Ergonomic Tables: These tables are height-adjustable just as the others are, but they are also specially designed to be handicapped-accessible and to promote maximum comfort. Workers in wheelchairs, for example, can sit at them comfortably.

Adjustable Height Tables Have Distinct Features

Now that you know a bit about the kinds of adjustable tables we can craft for you, what makes them so special? What can they do? Beyond the various raising and lowering styles and mechanisms that we’ve already discussed, here are a few more important general features:

• Materials: Aluminum and stainless steel are the most common materials out of which RDM manufactures its tables. This is especially true of table frames. If you desire different surface materials — say, wood or plastic — we can manufacture things to your specifications.
• Styles: We manufacture both variable-height tables and workbenches. Workbenches come with racks attached to them, or they can have their own surfaces in addition to the main desk surface. These surfaces, too, are height-adjustable.
• Shapes and Sizes: Tables can be either small and square-shaped or they can be long and rectangular. We even manufacture L-shaped tables that look almost like two tables welded together. Dimensions are totally customizable, with surfaces measuring from as little as 30 inches across to as much as 96 inches across.
• Lift Height: Lift variability can be as little as 6 inches or as much as 16 inches.
• Weight-bearing Capacity: Weight-bearing capacity can vary for our tables and workbenches from as little as 500 pounds to as much as 1,500 pounds.
• Accessories: We can also add various accessories to your tables, like wheels or attached cabinets, or file drawers.

Key Benefits

Now that you know so much about adjustable height tables, why should you get them? How can they make a lab or other work environment into a better place? And most importantly, are these benefits only minor ones, or are they more substantial.

The primary benefits of height adjustable desks are health-related, but these health benefits, as we’ll show, can have spillover effects on your lab’s or company’s bottom line.

According to multiple studies that have been conducted on these matters, adjustable hight tables can bestow an enormous amount of health benefits upon your lab workforce. Some of these can include a reduction in back pain and a long-run reduction in blood sugar levels. Long hours of doing sedentary work in an uncomfortable setting can lead to weight gain, which is known to have an effect on mood. Even cardiovascular problems have been known to follow in the wake of many years spent working at uncomfortable desks. An adjustable height desk even makes it possible to work while standing, which has actually been shown to increase life expectancy.

Of course, your workers will love you if they see that you’re looking out for their health, but there are more practical effects for your organization that can follow from introducing these desks. They can improve worker well-being. Happy workers are more productive workers. They come to work energized and ready to accomplish as much as possible. Fewer long-run health problems for your workers also means lower health insurance costs for workers, which can come back to benefit companies as well.

With advantages like this, it’s clear that variable-height desks are necessities for every lab manager and business owner who thinks ahead.

Which Industries Use Adjustable Height Tables?

If this doesn’t convince you to check out RDM’s selection of variable-height tables, here are just a few industries that make regular use of them:

Conclusion

Industries of all kinds that employ significant amounts of desk workers have begun taking steps to safeguard their workers from the ill effects of many years of desk work. In doing so, they have reaped practical rewards.

The same can be true for your lab. Check out RDM’s selection of adjustable height tables today.

Here at RDM, we believe that having the right tool for the job helps to increase safety and productivity. A commonplace this is overlooked is with laboratory equipment, specifically workstations. Ergonomic workstations offer increased levels of adjustability and comfort for your whole team.

One of the major ways we have increased the ergonomics of our laboratory equipment is with height adjustability. Being able to change the height of an adjustable lab bench depending on the type of research being conducted allows you to save valuable space in the laboratory. This feature can also increase your team’s confidence while they perform precise procedures.

How Mobility Can Help To Increase Efficiency In The Lab

When most people think of ergonomic lab equipment, they go straight for height adjustability, but forget about mobility. Mobile lab tables make it effortless to customize and optimize workstations as your research progresses. They also make it easy for you to transfer your work, or equipment from one laboratory to the next in an efficient and organized fashion.

At RDM, we can help you increase the mobility of your workstations depending on your needs. The first kind of mobile workstation we offer is maneuverable lab tables and carts. These are easy to transfer to and from work areas, and they achieve this mobility with a smaller, easy to handle, stature. Larger lab benches and workstations can be equipped with durable research-grade casters that will allow them to be moved when needed. At RDM we work hard to ensure that adding mobility does not sacrifice the precision and rigidity found on our equipment.

How To Choose The Correct Ergonomic Laboratory Furniture?

When considering what kind of laboratory equipment you are looking for, consider how much space you are going to need. As well as what kind of work you will be doing at the workstation. You should also contemplate if you are going to use one workstation for multiple kinds of research. And keep in mind, the kinds of potentially hazardous conditions the workstation will be experiencing during its service.

Our team of experts can help you pick out the equipment that best fits the spacial and material constraints of your workplace. We have a wide selection of laboratory equipment that we can use as a template to build into your optimal workstation. All of our products feature industrial quality construction that will be able to stand up to the rigors of laboratory life.

What Customizations Are Available For Ergonomic Laboratory Furniture?

Customizing your ergonomic laboratory equipment is one of the best ways to ensure that it meets all of your needs. The first and easiest way to customize your equipment is by size. You can either get your equipment in one of our standard sizes, or you can specify custom dimension requirements. Additionally, you can specify how much height adjustment you need for your line of work. Height adjustment ranges anywhere from six inches to over sixteen inches depending on the model of the table. We can also beef up the materials used in the construction of the equipment. This will increase the overall weight capacity of the lift system and the table. The recommended weight capacities vary from 500 pounds to over 3,000 pounds. These weight capacities are often more than enough for most lines of work.

Another customization to ponder is what kind of material do you need the surface of the workstation to be. If you plan on working with corrosive materials, the plastic, stainless steel, or our chemical resistant compound are going to be some of the top choices. The electrostatic discharge and static-control surfaces are great for any sensitive electronics. While the solid wood butcher’s block is great for food preparation and research. These are some of the top surface materials we offer, and our team can help you choose the one that best fits your line of work or research.

Most of our adjustable work stations share a common industrial aesthetic that will fit into any professional work environment. However, we can customize the color pallet if you want your lab equipment to fit an existing style. The adjustability found on our workstations is primarily the result of either leg pins or an electronically controlled hydraulic lift system that comes with a manual hand crank backup. You can choose which of these options work best for your applications

How Accessories Can Help Increase Organization and Proficiency

Nearly all of our workstations can be further optimized with the usage of accessories. However, some accessories are exclusive to certain types of workstations. One of the most common yet effective types of accessories is the utility drawer. The utility drawer is a great way to keep track of important research notes and paperwork. Or it makes for a great place to store your tools while you move your workstation. Another great feature to consider is light fixtures. They allow you to have a consistent light source independent of your surroundings. Personal light sources can be manipulated without disturbing your peers. Adding features like an adjustable upper shelf, bin rail, or lower shelf will add some much-needed space. Organization and storage space are critical in a crowded laboratory workstation.

Why Choose RDM For Your Laboratory Needs?

When it comes to working efficiently in a lab, you need to make sure you have the right equipment for the job. Having the right equipment will help to cut down on safety risks. It will also increase overall productivity with your team. Our team at RDM Industrial Products, Inc., can help you choose the ergonomic laboratory furniture that will bring the best results to your lab, from adjustable lab benches to mobile lab tables and so much more.

Adjustable desks are equipped with cranks for manual height adjustment. Simply turn the crank in one direction to raise the height and turn it in the other direction to lower the height. Electric hydraulic motors are also available to ensure easy, smooth, and quick height adjustments. It’s even possible to program individual height preferences with multiple-position memory switches. This is a useful feature when more than one person is using a power adjustable desk.

There are many benefits to having height adjustable desks. For example, the need for less office furniture and improved worker health and ergonomics. They also improve efficiency and adaptability to accommodate diverse work environments.

A Requirement for Fewer Desks

Today, many workplaces increasingly encourage “hot desking”, which is when employees move freely from desk to desk. However, not all employees have the same body type. For this reason, hot-desking requires flexible furniture options to accommodate the different needs of employees. An adjustable height computer desk provides a convenient solution. These types of desks can easily lower or raise according to the height and ergonomic needs of the employee. This way, many employees can share the same adjustable desk. With a need for fewer desks, workplaces can save money and make better use of space.  

Health and Ergonomic Benefits of a Height Adjustable Desk

Adjustable workstations also provide health and ergonomic benefits. For example, some employees don’t have the flexibility to get away from their workstations every hour. An adjustable height computer desk allows for more variation in body position. This can help prevent stiff, tired, or painful muscles and joints. An adjustable height feature can also provide a more comfortable workplace. For example, whether your employees are short or tall, they can adjust the table to their individual comfort level.

Adjustable height computer desks also help to reduce strains and injuries. Common injuries include backaches, wrist problems, and neck pain. Adjustable desks can sometimes benefit workers who have existing back problems since standing for part of the day can offer relief and aid recovery. Each employee has a distinct body shape and it’s important to accommodate these needs. For example, if a tall person is working at a shorter desk, they will have to bend over which can lead to back problems.

Functionality and Adaptability to Different Workplaces

From private offices to laboratories, to industrial workplaces, adjustable standing desks can easily adapt to almost any workplace. The ability to adapt and add custom features to the tables can help improve workplace efficiency. When ordered from RDM Industrial Products, these factory direct and industrial quality adjustable tables can be customized to nearly any configuration. For example, an optional lower shelf can create a convenient storage area for a microscope or other equipment. Also, a dual-platform style is great for laboratory environments when there is a need to regularly work on two tasks simultaneously.

The weight capacity of an adjustable standing desk, or a power adjustable desk, can range from 500 pounds all the way up to 3,000 pounds. Adjustable desks are also available with wheels for added mobility. Once moved into place, the desk wheels can be securely locked down, for static use. Best of all, an adjustable height feature is available on almost every type of industrial table. Examples include heavy-duty stainless steel lift tables and height adjustable light tables. Other examples are adjustable laboratory tables, such as ergonomic microscope tables with vibration-damping levelers. 

When ordering your manufacturer direct, industrial quality adjustable standing desk from RDM, there is almost no limit to the customization options available.

The post Three Benefits of Using a Height Adjustable Desk appeared first on RDM Industrial Products.

Adjustable height tables are generally made of strong materials like stainless steel. As the name suggests, it is possible to raise or lower the height of these tables as required in the workplace. And Adjustable height tables are available with ergonomic features too, allowing staff to increase or decrease the height of their workstations easily.

Adjustable height tables offer several benefits to both the employees of a workplace and the company owner.

Benefits for Employees

Change in posture:

It is very unhealthy to sit in the same position while working long hours. Employees start feeling pain and discomfort with prolonged sitting. On the contrary, it is not possible to work in the standing position for long either, because the legs get numb, and the employees get tired easily. When an employee works on the adjustable height table, however, he can change the table’s height as he wishes, and can also change his position. Thus, it is a good way to remain in a healthy posture.

Stress relief:

Being in the same position not only causes trouble for the body, but it also causes stress on the mind. A person feels monotonous, which lead to reduction in efficiency. On the other hand, using an adjustable table will allow the employee to move, which will ensure that the mind and body is activity.

No slouching:

When employees work for long hours, they end up slouching on the table. However, they do not notice it and continue with their work in that position. This situation generally arises when an employee is working on a table while standing. However, the slouching position gives them back pain and it is not the right posture for working. It can lower the efficiency of the employees. While working on adjustable height tables, however, this problem can be dealt with. As the surface of the table can be raised and lowered as required for the employees, they do not need to slouch over the table.

How Does the Company Benefit?

Better worker morale:

When the employees of the company are happy with the furniture and can work easily along with taking care of their health, their morale gets a good boost. They feel satisfied and more motivated towards their job. So, problems at the workplace are reduced. Employees become more patient and co-operative with each other and work together to uphold the goodwill of the company.

Enhanced productivity:

Adjustable height tables take care of the mental and physical health of the employees. When employees are physically fit, they become more efficient and work more. As a result, the overall productivity of the workplace is enhanced, which is great for the growth of the company.

Requirement of fewer tables:

If a workplace uses basic worktables, then it may need different tables for each employee according to their heights. It means that you will have to get a table for each employee. However, the height of the adjustable table can be lowered or raised according to the height of the employee working on it. So, many employees can work on the same table. With fewer tables, there is more space for other necessary items, and people can move freely as well.

Considering the points noted above, an adjustable height table is a must have purchase needed in every workplace.
