The 10 Benefits of Modular Work Tables 18.3.2019 | Carissa Harris

If you're looking to enhance your workspace with new work tables, then consider ordering modular work tables, which offer many benefits over conventional pre-assembled versions. Here are the top ten benefits you can expect when you order a modular work table from Treston.

1. Ability to Customize

   Workbenches can be customized to suit the task being performed, rather than having to ‘make do’ with parts and tools placed in awkward, hard-to-reach places.

2. Utilize Vertical Space

   You can position the ​​​​​shelves above and below the tabletop, at different depths, and/or tilted to keep components within easy reach. This will make better use of the available vertical space and keep worktops uncluttered.

3. Ergonomic Workspace

   Their height is adjustable to suit the worker or the task being performed, while components, tools and work instructions can remain within easy reach. You can learn more about workstation ergonomics here.

4. Improve Efficiency

   Having everything within easy reach reduces the movements involved in performing tasks, which in turn improves workers' efficiency.

5. Improve Profitability

   The ability to perform tasks more quickly means more work can be performed over the course of the day, which can ultimately increase your profits.

6. Reduce Risk of RSI

   Having components within easy reach reduces the uncomfortable twists and turns workers have to make in assembling parts. This means they can perform tasks more comfortably and reduce the strain on their necks, backs, and upper limbs.

7. Flexible Inventory

   Modular accessories can be used on different workbenches and wherever they’re needed throughout the facility

8. Enables Workers to Manage their Workspace

   Modularity gives workers the freedom to decide how they want to work. Educating workers on ergonomics will enable them to take responsibility for their own health by adjusting their workspace so they can perform tasks comfortably.

9. Improved Flexibility 

   Modular workbenches can be optimized for specific tasks and combined with other workbenches to create workflow patterns. These can be rapidly rearranged to suit the task being performed and to improve the efficiency of a company’s processes.

10. Safer Working Environment

    Looking after the health of workers reduces the risk of absenteeism or early retirement through injury. Modular workbenches enable tasks to be performed more comfortably and reduce the risk of strain-related injury. This helps you fulfill your legal responsibility for providing a safe working environment.
