Workshop Stools & Chairs
Work in comfort with high quality workshop stools
A comfortable and practical seat is an essential item for workers who spend a lot of time seated. Be it at a workstation, desk or moving around a factory workshop, the correct workshop chair can make all the difference.
In a world where health and safety is of utmost importance, it's imperative that employers equip their staff with the best workshop tools for the job. High quality adjustable seating will not only give comfort, but improve wellbeing and productivity for your workers too.
Your choice of seating will largely depend on the type of environment, along with the designated use of the workshop chair.
The other main consideration, which may sound simple but is essential, is whether you are looking for a workshop chair or a stool? The big difference here is that a chair has a back rest, and a stool doesn't. If back support is a priority, always opt for a workshop chair.
Workshop seating suitable for a wide range of settings
For instance, if your intention is to use your seat within an area where hygiene is of the essence, a Polyurethane workshop chair would be a sensible selection. Polyurethane is easy to wipe clean which makes it difficult for pesky germs to penetrate. Excellent news for clean environments, bad news for germs.
Polyurethane is again a wise choice in environments where chemicals, oil and other liquids are used as any spills can quickly be wiped away.
A height adjustable workshop chair could be the ideal solution if your seat will have multiple users. Height adjustment also means that the chair can be positioned in a variety of locations, such as at a desk or manufacturing workstation.
A large percentage of height adjustment is via a gas lift system. The simple levers mean that these types of stools and chairs are really quick and easy to adjust to your chosen height.
If you're looking for a mechanics seat, then considering one with an integral tool storage tray would ensure that your tools travel with you. You can adjust the seat height too for maximum versatility.
Manoeuvring around a workshop is made easy with a draughtsman chair on wheels.
Manufacturing zones may require a worker to move around whilst seated, for example to reach for a component or to address a colleague. This is where a workshop chair on wheels really comes into its own.
The wheels on industrial chairs cleverly swivel 360 degrees to allow a full circle and great flexibility of movement.
If you want your stool to stay put but still need a range of movement, a heavy duty workshop stool which can spin 360 degrees without wheels would certainly fill the bill.
For additional comfort, a selection of draughtsman stools come with a foot ring. This can take the pressure off the user's legs and back therefore, providing a more versatile seating solution.
Even in an office environment where one would generally spend most of the working day in the same position, on the same office chair, at the same desk, an alternate foot position can provide welcome relief. A separate ergonomic foot rest is ideal for these situations.
