Mechanical workshops, metalworking shops and heavy industrial businesses are environments where chemicals, heavy loads, and strenuous use necessitate robustness.
Hence, Australian company Actisafe – a Defence Preferred Supplier – has released a range of ergonomic ‘Workshop’ worktables for the demanding environment of the automotive and metalwork industries.
The tough, metal products have a long life coating that resists abrasion and staining.
Of high importance is the product’s adherence to occupational health and safety standards.
These worktables – either by manual foot control system or by quiet, efficient electric motor – are automatically raised and lowered when required to create optimised ergonomics for the operator.
The step-less height adjustment system can have the tables adjusted from 670mm to 1140mm in height, which makes it suitable for work while sitting or standing.
This reduces the potential for repetitive strain injury, back strain or any other workplace injury that could cost employers dearly.
These worktables are very durable, they withstand the toughest conditions and have a wide range of accessories to allow integration for when entire workstations are required.
Workshop worktables are highly adaptable to individuals, and as a result all movements of the operator can be optimised to increase performance and productivity while decreasing work-related stress and potential for injury.
On a functional side, the modular characteristic of this technology allows add-ons to be quickly implemented as required. Independent units easily integrate with one another with the potential to be re-arranged to adapt to needs in the work environment. All components fit together seamlessly.
Assembly equipment and components, computers, telephones, and other tools can be placed ergonomically, where required.
Workstation worktables – or indeed entire workstations comprised of individual worktables – can be equipped with many types of features to specifically suit tasks.
For instance, a workstation equipped with an extension table and a corner table is suitable for testing work; a worktable for packaging can have a cutter for packaging material, a top shelf and a pair of folder supports; or a multi-use Workshop workstation can have wheels.
