free-standing bench systems
multiple configurations
Our Optima Series is a moveable system designed to adapt to changing lab processes, equipment and users. Self-supporting benches are constructed with either fixed or adjustable height work surfaces and offer single or double sided flexibility. Lower storage options include suspended, mobile and floor mounted cabinets and are available in a variety of configurations. Cabinets and shelves can be added above the work surface for additional storage. Pre-plumbed and pre-wired quick connect mechanical service fixtures are used in conjunction with overhead service carriers or ceiling panels which facilitates bench movement and optimizes layout flexibility.
