A Guide to Choosing Lab Workbenches and Tables

Your laboratory work benches and tables serve as the foundation for your workspace, impacting productivity, safety, and the overall functionality of your lab. But with so many lab table options, how do you choose the best one for your needs? Let's break down the key considerations and discover why the Titan Series Adaptable Systems product line is a top choice for Canadian and US laboratories that require flexible workstation solutions.

1. Space and Layout

First, assess the available space in your lab and plan your layout carefully. Consider the location of doors, windows, outlets, and other fixtures that could affect the positioning of workbenches and tables. The number of users and the type of work being done should guide how many stations you’ll need and where they should be placed.

The Titan Series workbench shines here, with adaptable options that include wall-mounted, island, and mobile configurations. Our flexible Titan Series systems can be adjusted or relocated easily as your lab’s needs evolve. Whether you’re working in a compact space or a large area, these adjustable work benches allow you to maximize efficiency without compromising safety or comfort.

2. Function and Durability

Laboratory workstations must be suited to the specific tasks being performed. For example, chemical labs need tables that resist corrosion, while mechanical or electronic labs require sturdy surfaces that can handle heavier equipment. Titan Series Workbenches and Table Frames meet these needs with robust construction and customizable features.

Titan Workbenches and Table Frames come with:

A static load capacity of 1,000 lbs (stationary models)
Adjustable height tables ranging from 30” to 36” for ergonomic comfort
Services such as electrical, plumbing (gas and vac), and data all within the posts
Option for a raceway which spans the length of the workbench, offering more services
Option to install anti-vibration feet, leveling feet or casters
Countertop materials such as epoxy or phenolic to withstand the toughest lab environments
Option to add shelving with task lights

Whether you need a fixed-height station or an adjustable model that adapts to different users or tasks, Titan Series workbenches and tables deliver. Plus, their welded steel construction ensures long-term durability, with heavy-duty casters to allow for easy movement.

Titan Work Bench length options include: 30”, 36”, 42”, 48”, 54”. 60”, 66”, 72”.

Depth options include: 30” and 36”.

3. Style and Ergonomics

Another point of consideration when choosing your lab workstations is if you want your lab to look clean, organized, and welcoming for staff and visitors. The Titan Series offers sleek, modern designs that fit seamlessly into any lab environment. The square post design and customizable shelving options is not only practical but aesthetically pleasing.

Lab ergonomics is another vital factor. Titan Series Workbenches and Table Frames allow for smooth transitions between sitting, standing, and ADA-compliant workstations, ensuring that users of all shapes and sizes can work comfortably and safely for extended periods.

4. Flexibility and Cost Efficiency

The Titan Series' interchangeable components and modifiable configurations allow you to reconfigure your space without costly renovations or long downtimes. Fewer floor penetrations and structural connections mean reduced installation costs and more flexibility at a lower price.

With features like mobile casework compatibility, adjustable shelving, and the option to add suspended cabinets and task lighting, Titan Series tables and workbenches easily accommodate future expansions or modifications. This versatility makes these workstations an ideal choice for labs that anticipate growth or changes in workflow.
