SHOP FURNITURE / WORK BENCH OVERVIEW

Penco’s wide variety of products in the Shop Furniture line can make your work environment more comfortable and efficient. Numerous work benches, carts, tool stands, machine cabinets, stools and storage cabinets can be combined to organize any area of any size company for maximum productivity.

WORK BENCHES

OPEN WORK BENCHES: This is the classic work station. A rugged platform for work of all types. Standard units include a top, legs and stringer. Each model can be ordered with your choice from 4 types of top materials. The bench can be accessorized with drawers, electrical outlet strips, back & end stops, risers and a lower shelf.

Open work bench units are available with either fixed or adjustable height legs. Both leg types are punched for tops, stringers, shelves and floor anchoring. Fixed height legs are designed for overall surface height of approximately 30" or 34". Adjustable height legs offer work surfaces from approximately 30" to 36" high, adjustable on 1" centers, plus knockouts for standard electrical outlets.

MODULAR WORK BENCHES: Penco Modular Work Benches offer the stability of a rock solid work surface, with the addition of secure storage below for tools, gauges, instruments or other essentials. A great feature of these benches is the total flexibility with which they can be configured. You choose among stacked drawers, cabinets or the space-saving Panel Leg for support. Each is available with your choice from one of four types of tops, which can be joined in long rows using common supports to make more leg room, or set up individually. The welded cabinet has a center shelf, built-in lock with 2 keys, and is reversible for left or right-hand door operation. It sits on an enclosed base.

CABINET WORK BENCHES: Penco Cabinet Work Benches are ideal for standing work stations that require ample storage of supplies or work materials. The heavy duty construction provides an extremely solid base for any of the available work surfaces, protecting the back and sides with closed panels. The most common accessories are the extra shelf and sliding doors, but drawers, back & end stops and risers are also popular options.
