1. Steel Workbench Standard (SWS)
The SWS is a two-tier medium-duty steel workbench with one under-bench shelf and a benchtop.
a) Bench Heights
The two standard bench heights are:
- 900mm
- 1000mm
b) Beam Lengths
The beam lengths listed below contribute directly to the overall length of the bench. The overall length is calculated by adding the beam length plus 60mm for every frame required. Longer benches are easily created by joining two or more bays together. For example, a two-bay workbench using 900mm plus 1200mm beams would require three frames. It’s overall length would be 60mm + 900mm + 60mm + 1200mm + 60mm = 2300mm.
- 900mm
- 1200mm
- 1500mm
- 1800mm
- 2100mm
- 2400mm
c) Bench Depths
- 460mm
- 600mm
- 900mm
- 1200mm

The SWO is a four-tier medium-duty workbench. It has three additional shelves for storage: one under-bench shelf plus two overhead shelves.
a) Bench and Overhead Shelf Heights
- 900mm or 1000mm (bench)
- 2000mm (top overhead shelf)
b) Bench Length
The beam lengths listed below contribute directly to the overall bench length. Please refer to the SWS above for an explanation and an example of how to calculate the overall bench length.

3. Shelf materials for benchtops and storage shelves
The benchtops and shelves are readily available in particleboard sheet, zinc-plated steel mesh decks, and galvanised steel panels for your steel workbench. Please note that the mesh decks and galvanised panels are not available for a 1200mm depth. Please refer to the three pictures of these options below.
In addition to these, you may prefer to source your own alternative, such as MDF boards or melamine boards. In this case, we would simply quote the supporting steel structure consisting of the frames and beams.
4. Steel Workbench with Drawers
There is also the option of adding steel drawers to your workshop workbench if you need additional storage.
The drawers are designed to suit both 600mm and 900mm deep steel workbenches. Furthermore, they are easily fitted to the underside of the workshop workbench or an under-bench shelf. Lastly, to fit, you only require a 4mm hex key. Please find some specifications below.
Width: overall 600mm, internal 555mm
Depth: overall 600mm, internal 535mm
Height: overall 192mm, internal 110mm
Capacity: the maximum loading capacity is 20kg per drawer.
Shown in the picture above is a drawer, 600mm wide, fitted to long-span beams. Up to three drawers may be fitted within this space if 1800mm beam lengths are used.
5. Workbench on Wheels
Another great option is the ability to create a portable DIY steel workbench with the addition of medium-duty castor wheels.
Firstly, the wheel is polyurethane, and the castor’s frame uses galvanised steel. Secondly, the castor’s wheel is 100mm in diameter. Thirdly, the capacity of the castor is 100kg. Finally, each castor adds approximately 130mm to the height of the DIY workbench on wheels.
Options include:
- either braked or non-braked.
- either swivel or fixed
- either 4-bolt or single bolt fixing to the baseplate
