We have built many tool cabinets including vertical tool storage, which allows technicians to hang their tools vertically for easy access as well as itemising what they have and where, for tool inventory management purposes.

Workbenches - more than just storing tools

Today, modern vehicle workshops consider a workstation as a fundamental part of a workshop. While the primary purpose is functional; providing a sufficient surface to work on, storing necessary tools and equipment easily on hand for a technician to get the job done, within the work bay. We have a range of stand alone workbenches available here. However, the workstation offers so much more. This ‘fitted kitchen’ approach offers a co-ordinated look to a workshop and supplies the technician with the efficiency of everything to hand, job satisfaction and output can increase.
