ESWhat does a mechanic workstation look like?
A well-made mechanic workstation helps to increase the efficiency and productivity of any kind of workshop. Thanks to a complete, resistant and functional worktop, it is possible to visibly improve mechanics and technicians’ productivity and speed up daily operations. DEA workstations have all the credentials to achieve these results.
The most modern mechanics always and only look for the best for their workshop. Even the workstation must be up to the highest quality standards: what characteristics must it have in order to improve the operators' working day?
There are elements that make a workstation a real ally for all mechanics. Let's see which.
The essential components of a mechanic workstation
A wide and resistant worktop
A self-respecting workstation must first of all have a fully welded structure. To fully meet the needs of a garage repair shop, it must also have a top specifically built to withstand shocks, scratches, acids, oils, chemicals, and so on.
Recommended by DEA: top for 3-module AR-009 workstation
The perfect cover for a mechanic workstation: the AR-009 worktop consists of a sheet folded four times, welds in the corners and 2 omega reinforcement bars along the entire length of the module.
There is a DTC cover in the upper part from the top, which makes it resistant to scratches, mineral oils, gasoline, acids, as well as being easy to clean.
All components are epoxy powder coated.
Lots of well organized drawers
There are a multitude of parts and tools in a mechanical workshop. Organizing them methodically is essential to find everything at the first try.
The ideal solution is a workstation complete with tool trolleys with drawers with dividers, ideal for storing small parts, tools and small tools.
DEA Recommended: Tool Trolley AR-131.10, Drawer Divider AR-017.16.9, Rubber Mat SPAR-016-SPN
The AR-131.10 6-drawer trolley is certainly an excellent choice to orderly catalog tools. The trolley is mounted on guides resistant up to 99 lbs and is equipped with a fixed closing back assembled in the furniture.
The tool trolley is equipped with a lock with key to close all the drawers, an ergonomic handle made of extruded aluminum with guides to insert a label, 4 reinforced caster wheels, two of which are equipped with brakes.
To keep smaller parts in order, we recommend completing the trolley with special dividers and non-slip rubber mats.
A compartment to store disassembled and spare parts
The workstation must always be free from parts not used at that time. For agile and precise work, we recommend a mechanic workstation complete with tire holder bench.
Recommended by DEA: AR-061.02 mechanic workstation and AR-302.02 tire holder bench
One of the most classic DEA furnishings: the single mechanic workstation, with shelf with protective ABS cover, is equipped with adjustable feet for perfect module leveling.
We recommend combining it with a double tire holder workstation, equipped with adjustable feet, a stainless steel base and two rubber stop rollers.
A mobile trolley
Mechanic workstations generally come complete with tool drawers, but they can be even more efficient with mobile trolleys to be towed near the vehicle to be serviced.
To make a trolley even more efficient for a mechanic workshop, an additional shelf with electrical sockets is definitely ideal.
Recommended by DEA: AR-295.10 tool trolley and AR-300 kit
The single tool trolley with 7-drawer workshop drawer unit, is mounted on guides resistant up to 99 lbs and is equipped with a fixed closing back assembled in the furniture.
To complete it, we recommend the compatible additional shelf kit, consisting of a painted sheet metal structure and electrical sockets integrated within the structure itself.
A waste container
The final touch for the perfect workplace? A large waste container in line with the image of the mechanical workshop.
Recommended by DEA: AR-217.11 waste container module
The waste container module with left-hand door opening “like a book” has now become indispensable to complete a workstation.
Equipped with a flat bottom made of stainless steel to allow for the insertion of a waste container, it has an ergonomic handle made of extruded aluminum and adjustable feet.
