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).

RDM is a well known and respected furniture manufacturer with over 35 years of experience in the field.

Choosing the Best Stainless Steel Table for Your Facility

April 12, 2013

When purchasing industrial furnishings, it is important to select the correct product for the workplace. Though high-quality material is used to make this furniture, certain materials more suitable for particular uses and environments. A stainless steel table is a popular industrial furnishing manufactured to handle nearly any environment but different versions are designed for different purposes.

Stainless Steel Industrial Tables for Different Work Areas

Executives need room to store documents and supplies in their offices. For them, stainless steel executive desks are smart choices. These desks feature adjustable heights compatible with seated or standing work. For use in computer server rooms, technology executives may prefer rolling stainless steel tech tables featuring optional keyboard trays.

Several stainless steel table designs are intended for laboratory environments and some are designed for cleanroom atmospheres. Available in assorted heights and with options such as drawers and pull-out keyboard trays, these tables are versatile. A stainless steel lift table is another lab-friendly furnishing because it brings the work closer to the technician, making delicate operations more convenient.

Food Service Industrial Tables

Several tables made from stainless steel are designed for food service environments. These range from a basic light to medium duty ergonomic table with adjustable height to a customizable workstation featuring drawers and shelving. Optional accessories include cutting mat surfaces, stainless steel vise units, and a deluxe adjustable foot rest for seated work.

This is just a sampling of the stainless steel table options available. When they order from RDM Industrial Products, customers customize these tables to meet their space and functional needs. The result is a table that fits within the work area and is equipped with all the accessories necessary for the desired use. This furniture is built to last, making this a one-time investment when the correct style and accessories are selected.

Making Old Work Benches New Again

March 12, 2013

Industrial furniture is a substantial investment for many companies. When shopping for work benches and other furnishings for a facility, purchasing managers look for versions that are sturdy and will last for years. However, consistently heavy use can take its toll on this furniture. Fortunately, there are ways to restore an existing table to its original condition.

Replacement Tops for Industrial Tables

Customers of RDM Industrial Products have the option to purchase replacement tops for their work tables. This purchase can be made either when the initial order is placed or later. A variety of surface options are available including chemical-resistant or static dissipative plastic laminate, cleanroom, and butcher block. There is even a replacement transfer top featuring both fixed insert rollers and a pneumatic pop-up ball system.

Shoppers can view a graphical depiction and product summary on the RDM website. If they are purchasing a transfer top, customers select their transfer preference and provide the height, depth, width, and weight of their product. The online form can be used to request a price quote or place an order for a customized replacement top.

Seating Makes Work Benches More Versatile

Tops are not the only components that may suffer wear. Industrial chairs are used regularly, some used by multiple workers in a single day. Replacement chairs are available in ergonomic designs with sturdy steel or cast aluminum bases. An upholstered, contoured backrest containing a lumbar curve and compact armrests are two options of a deluxe version designed for long-term use.

After making an initial investment in industrial work benches, purchasing managers will be pleased to realize that even rough treatment will not render this furniture unusable. Replacement tops and seating make facility workbenches look and operate like new even after years of heavy use. Businesses can remain productive without overspending on workplace furniture.

Business owners or purchasing agents searching for industrial furnishings that accommodate multiple uses should look no further than industrial workbenches. These furnishings are designed for everything from vibration-sensitive work with a microscope to heavy-duty use involving specialized tools and equipment. With RDM Industrial Products, customers can configure these workbenches / tables to accommodate almost any application or environment.

Selecting Materials for Workbenches

Material selection also comes into play when choosing work surfaces for standard and oversized industrial tables. Top materials include plastic laminate, solid wood butcher block, stainless steel, galvanized metal, and solid surface. There are even tops designed with special features like chemical resistance and static control. The RDM Crew is available to assist you with the review and selection of materials to determine which work surface material is most appropriate for your environment.

Choosing Accessories for Tables and Workbenches

The ability to customize a workbench by adding accessories during manufacture increases the functionality of this industrial furnishing. Create a computer work station by adding keyboards / mouse trays and monitor stand, allowing workers to multitask. Clear the work surface with the addition of shelving, drawers for filing, and cabinet compartments. There are also lift systems available that can convert stationary, fixed-height tables to telescoping, adjustable-height tables that can be adjusted to accommodate both seated and standing work heights or multi-height users.
