In today’s dynamic environments, the adaptability and mobility of workbenches are increasingly important factors. By using aluminum profiles, you can easily assemble a workbench of any size that best suits your needs. You can build either a stationary workbench or a mobile one with wheels for use in industrial workshops or home garages In this guide, we will detail how to assemble aluminum profile workbenches and the corresponding connecting elements.
Workbench Materials and Construction
Aluminum profile workbenches are assembled from high-quality aluminum profiles with T-slots that are lightweight yet extremely durable. These profiles are designed for easy assembly using connecting elements, allowing you to build the workbench yourself without the need for welding.
Aluminum profiles provide durability and resistance to corrosion, ensuring your workbench can withstand heavy loads while maintaining a sleek, modern appearance. Each profile is precisely cut and ready for assembly, facilitating an easy and efficient assembly process.
Below is a list of items used to assemble a workbench with wheels, measuring 800x450x958mm (length x width x height).
| Length | Quantity (pcs) |
| 850 mm (vertical profile) + M8 thread | 4 |
| 720 mm (cross profile) | 4 |
| 370 mm (cross profile) | 4 |
|
Joining Elements |
|
| Item | Quantity (pcs) |
| Bracket ALU 40×80 | 8 |
| Bracket ALU 40×40 | 8 |
| Hammer head screw U10 M8 L20 | 48 |
| Flange Nut M8 | 48 |
| Caster wheels fi80 ZZ (with a brake) | 4 |
| Screw with cylindrical head M8 L40 | 4 |
| Washer U10 | 4 |
Assembling the aluminum workbench is straightforward and can be done with basic tools. Follow these steps:
1. Preparation of Profiles:
Lay out all the aluminum profiles, brackets, and connecting elements.
2. Connect the Profiles:
Use the included connecting elements to assemble the profiles according to the desired dimensions of the workbench. Ensure all joints are securely tightened.
3. Mounting the Wheels:
Attach the wheels to the legs of the workbench. o Required materials for attaching the wheels:
a. 1x M8 L40 cylinder head screw
b. 1x U10 washer
3.1) Gather all the materials.
3.2) Unscrew the bolt that goes through the wheel.
3.3) Insert the screw and nut through the wheel bracket.
3.4) Screw the bolt into the thread in the profile.
3.5) Reattach the wheel.
4. Final Tightening:
Ensure that all screws and joints are securely tightened. Design Features of the Workbench.
Aluminum profile workbenches on wheels are designed with user functionality and comfort in mind. Key design features include:
a. Fully Adjustable Dimensions: Adjust the height, width, and length of the workbench to meet your specific needs, allowing flexibility for various tasks and environments. It is recommended to use single-piece vertical profiles for the full height, with cross profiles positioned between the vertical profiles.
b. Mobility and Stability with Lockable Wheels: The wheels allow for smooth movement, while the locking mechanism ensures stability when the bench is in use.
c. Compactness and Lightweight: Easy to move and store, ideal for dynamic work environments.
Applications
Aluminum profile workbenches on wheels are extremely versatile and can be used in various settings, including:
a. Workshops: Ideal for organizing tools and assembly tasks.
b. Laboratories: Provide a stable and mobile surface for experiments and equipment setup.
c. Offices: Function as flexible workstations or mobile tables for meetings.
d. Healthcare: Useful in hospitals as mobile workstations or equipment tables. Advantages
Using an aluminum workbench on wheels offers numerous benefits:
a. Mobility: Easily move the workbench to different locations as needed.
b. Durability: Aluminum is resistant to rust and wear, ensuring a long-lasting product.
c. Versatility: Suitable for various environments and tasks.
d. Lightweight: Easier to handle and move compared to heavier steel workbenches.
e. Disassembly: The workbench can be easily disassembled for convenient transport to different locations, making it ideal for dynamic work environments or events.
Maintenance and Care
Maintaining your aluminum workbench on wheels is simple:
a. Cleaning: Use a mild cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the surface. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the aluminum.
b. Inspection: Regularly check the wheels and locking mechanisms to ensure proper functionality.
c. Tightening Screws: Periodically check that all screws are tightly secured, especially if the bench has been subjected to vibrations that could loosen them.
Conclusion:
Aluminum workbenches on wheels are an excellent addition to any workspace, offering a combination of durability, mobility, and versatility. Whether you are setting up a new garage, outfitting a workshop, or enhancing a laboratory, these workbenches provide the flexibility and functionality you need in modern environments.
