specifications C -Frame The C-Frame system offers the ultimate in flexibility and strength. The units can be either mobile or under-slung on 60mm x 40mm heavy gauge epoxy coated mild steel horizontal rails. Hanging brackets allow units to be easily re-arranged or dismantled and also facilitate lateral movement of the units. All suspended units are well clear of the floor allowing easy access for cleaning and regular mopping or mechanical cleaning. This in turn makes this system ideal for microbiological and pharmaceutical laboratories where cleanliness is of great importance.
Fixed System The fixed format of furniture available from Lab UK (Furniture) Ltd. has proved most popular for dedicated laboratory areas, particularly in severe applications. Together with inherent strength and the stability of fixed benchtops which are supported by storage cabinets, this provides the ideal platform for weighty equipment - in addition to immovable worksurfaces for delicate and critical analysis. Maximum storage and working areas are achieved by the arrangement of standard width cabinets with tailored units and strategically located knee hole spaces for working desks. Furthermore, benchtop and cabinet depths are variable whether in the Perimeter, Island or Peninsula layout. Service lines are catered for in the voids behind the storage cabinet, protected but easily accessible via removable back panels. Alternatively, service spines and trunking in a variety of designs afford adequate access to worksurfaces as well as an isolation of potential hazards.
Cantilever Leg Flexibility in planning and use of benching is the key to this elegant, durable style of furniture from Lab UK (Furniture) Ltd. Extremely strong supporting steelwork, 40mm x 40mm in sections, is available in colours to compliment your scheme. The vertical support leg is set sufficiently far back to be unobtrusive, yet balanced in position to give full support to all equipment. Levelling feet are a standard fitment. The underbench span-rails are sited to allow installation of a wide range of sinks and drip-cups without compromising the weight-bearing capacity of the system.
