No two farmers have identical needs when it comes to their workspace. While one may require additional storage for sockets and wrenches, another may have different priorities.  

Opting for a standard workbench that fails to address these specific requirements means compromising on efficiency and functionality. This can easily be avoided with a custom-built solution designed to fit your precise needs. 

Blue Metal Industries Inc. offer heavy duty workbenches that are tailored to your specifications. This way you can maximize workspace efficiency and organization. The benches come in a variety of lengths from 4 to 12 feet in 2-foot increments. This workbench is made to last a lifetime with 2 feet per bank of drawers, optional double wide drawers, sliding mechanism on 4 ball bearings, and a 300 lb capacity.  

These workbenches feature robust tops, starting with a standard 10-gauge steel surface, with options for ³⁄16”, ¼” steel, or 11-gauge stainless steel for added durability. Each top includes 1½” of wood backing for extra strength and sound dampening, and is designed to easily accommodate vises, grinders, drill presses, and other tools. Choose from tops with or without a backsplash, depending on your needs for workspace organization and protection. 

Blue Metal Industries Inc. custom-builds each workbench bring what you need to life, offering a variety of drawer banks and add-on options to create the ideal setup for your workspace. With a wide range of options to choose from, you can be confident that your workbench will be built to meet your exact needs.
