Fixed-height workstations

Fixed-height benches suit tasks where the working height is consistent and does not change between operators or shifts. They are simpler, lower cost and suitable for high-load applications such as mounting vices, jigs and fixtures.

OTTOKIND fixed frames carry up to 2,000 kg static load to DIN EN 14183. Welded steel construction eliminates flex under dynamic or off-centre loading.

• Heavy assembly and mechanical build
• Jig and fixture mounting
• Test rig bases
• Component sub-assembly
• Fabrication and fitting

Height-adjustable workstations

Height-adjustable benches are the right choice when operators of different heights share the same station, when tasks alternate between sitting and standing, or when ergonomic compliance is a requirement.

OTTOKIND electric columns adjust from 700 mm to 1,250 mm with a 400 kg dynamic load rating under TÜV testing. Memory presets allow each operator to return to their preferred height immediately.

• Multi-shift assembly lines
• Precision inspection and testing
• Electronics and ESD-sensitive assembly
• Packing and despatch
• Areas with a mix of sitting and standing work

multi4lift

Height-adjustable platform with integrated ball transfer rollers for direct connection to roller conveyor lines. Electric range 800–1170 mm. Widths 1030 and 1280 mm; depths 750 and 890 mm. Compressed air stroke option available.

Used where workpieces arrive and leave on a conveyor and the operator adjusts working height without removing the part from the transport system.

• In-line production with roller conveyors
• Assembly stations integrated into transfer lines
• Ergonomic lift-and-pass operations

Load capacity

What is the heaviest load the bench will carry? Include the weight of the workpiece, any fixtures, tooling and equipment placed on the surface. For dynamic loading (pressing, hammering, vibration), the effective load is higher than the static weight.

OTTOKIND fixed frames: up to 2,000 kg static. Height-adjustable columns: 400 kg dynamic. Drawer cabinets: up to 200 kg per drawer.

Worktop specification

Worktop choice depends on the task. Options include: steel (high load, hard-wearing), laminate (general assembly, clean areas), ESD laminate (electronics assembly, DIN EN 61340-5-1), wood (light assembly, marking-out), and stainless steel (food, medical, wet environments).

Worktop thickness and edge treatment also affect load distribution. Thick-section tops are more suitable where heavy items are placed near the edge.

Accessories and integration

OTTOKIND uses a common mounting rail across all bench sizes. Accessories attach without drilling or welding. Typical additions include: adjustable lighting, power strips, monitor arms, tool rails, overhead shelving, drawer cabinets and acoustic screens.

Because the mounting system is standardised, accessories can be added later without replacing the frame. This is relevant where requirements are likely to change.
