Folding, Wheeled and Antistatic (ESD) Workbenches

28 products · Workbenches

The workbench is the foundation of every workshop, laboratory or site workstation. This collection brings together folding workbenches, wheeled workbenches and workstations, together with supports for cutting machines.

What you will find in the collection

  • Folding and portable workbenches: they fold up for transport and storage, suited to work on site and at home.
  • Fixed workbenches: with wooden or metal top, lower shelf and, in some models, a tool panel.
  • Wheeled workbenches and trolleys, for moving tools and materials.
  • Technical workstation benches, also anti-static (ESD) for electronics.
  • Benches with vice and supports for mitre saws and tile cutters.

How to choose

First of all consider the load capacity and the size of the top in relation to the pieces you work on. For those who move between sites, light folding models are handy; in the workshop a fixed bench is better, being more stable. If you work on sensitive electronic components, choose an ESD anti-static top. Also check the working height, to avoid awkward postures.

Tell us where and how you will use the bench: AMES will prepare a tailored quotation.

Frequently asked questions: Folding, Wheeled and Antistatic (ESD) Workbenches
Which workbench should I choose for a laboratory or workshop?

The bench should be chosen according to the weight of the work, the usable surface and stability. A fixed steel or wooden bench suits continuous work, while a folding bench is for portable work or small spaces. Check the load capacity of the top and whether there is a lower shelf or a tool panel, useful for keeping things tidy.

Folding bench or fixed bench: what is the difference?

A folding bench closes for transport and storage, and is suited to site work and jobs at home. A fixed bench has a more stable top and is designed for working at length in the same spot. A folding bench should be chosen with care when working with heavy loads or large vices, and its maximum load should be checked before use.

Which mitre saw stand should I choose?

A mitre saw stand supports the mitre saw and long workpieces to be cut, with its top aligned to the tool. The length, such as the Milwaukee 2.0, 2.5, 2.8 or 3.0 m models in the catalogue, should be chosen according to the longest pieces you work. Check that the stand is stable and that the top is level before use.

What is an ESD bench and when is it needed?

An ESD anti-static bench discharges static electricity during work on sensitive electronic components, which can be damaged by a discharge. The surface and earthing connections must be made according to standard IEC/EN 61340-5-1, which deals with protection against electrostatic discharge. It is useful in laboratories and electronics repair workstations.

How do I choose a folding work table for site or outdoor use?

A folding table should be chosen according to the weight it must support, how easily it opens and the stability of its legs. Height-adjustable models suit those who work standing or seated. Check the leg locks and the surface, which for outdoor use must withstand water and scratches without deforming.

How do I lock a bench on wheels during work?

Always lock the wheels with the brakes or the stops before starting work, so that the bench does not move under force. Check that the bench rests on a stable surface and do not overload it beyond its capacity. When working with vices or saws, check that the bench does not vibrate.

How do I clean and store a work bench?

Remove shavings, dust and traces of glue or oil from the top with a brush or a cloth. A clean top is safer and holds the workpiece better. For wood, avoid wetting it; for metal, protect the surfaces against rust. Store the folding bench closed in a dry place.
