Keter workbenches overview

The correct organization of the workplace is the key to the successful and safe performance of any carpentry or locksmith work. If you often have to do field work, then the best solution would be to purchase folding workbench.

Keter was founded in the Israeli city of Jaffa in 1948. (that is, almost immediately after the emergence of the state of Israel). In the early years of its existence, the company was engaged in the production of plastic toys and household items. In 1978 the range of the company was replenished gardening tools, kitchenware, bathroom products and products for home and industrial workshops, namely toolboxes and work tables. In 2016, the controlling stake in the company was bought out by the international investment fund BC Partners.

The main differences between Keter workbenches from their counterparts.

• Foldable design. All current models of workbenches produced by the company can be folded for transportation to another place of work. When folded, most models have the dimensions and shape of a suitcase and are equipped with a convenient handle for carrying in one hand. All folding work tables manufactured by the company are equipped with a quick opening system, which saves time and starts work almost immediately.

• Bottom shelf. All models of Israeli work tables are equipped with a full-fledged bottom shelf, the dimensions of which are only slightly inferior to the main table top. This allows you to place a large number of tools in the workbench, which will always be at hand.

• High quality. Unlike many competitors who gradually moved their production facilities to Asian countries, Keter's factories are still located in Israel, which ensures high-quality assembly of the company's joinery and locksmiths workbenches.

• Security. Keter folding workbenches are made from environmentally friendly and safe materials, and their design is designed with ease of use and the rules of prevention of industrial injuries in mind.

• Reliability and sustainability. Despite the folding lightweight design, when unfolded, the work tables of the Israeli company are almost as good as stationary ones in terms of functionality, stability and reliability. The steel legs of these workbenches provide a relatively high maximum load value, and the plastic table top protects workpieces of all materials from damage. The use of stainless steel and weather-resistant plastic in the construction also makes it possible to use these work tables not only indoors, but also for work in the open air.

• Slots for different tools and types of work... On the surface of the tabletop of all models offered by the company, slots are made for the most popular tools, which significantly increases the convenience of using the workbench.

• Low price. The company's products are significantly cheaper than folding workbenches from well-known German brands and will cost a little more than their counterparts made in China.

• Affordable service. The Israeli company has a wide dealer network in Russia, so finding spare parts and accessories or warranty repair of its products will not be a problem.

When choosing a mobile or stationary workbench, it is worth considering the following basic parameters.

1. Design... By design, it is customary to distinguish carpentry, locksmith and universal models of workbenches. Carpentry options are usually available with a wood top to avoid damaging the surface of the wood being treated. Locksmith's workbenches are characterized by a greater mass, a reinforced frame and a steel worktop. Finally, the versatile options are made of plastic or metal with a rubber or plastic coating and can handle parts made from any material.
2. Maximum load. Usually, this parameter is indicated in the technical description of work tables, and it will depend on it both the total weight of the equipment that can be installed on the workbench, and the maximum weight and dimensions of the parts that you can process on it.
3. Dimensions. The dimensions of the table should fit into the room in which you plan to install it. In the case of a mobile version, it is also worth considering the folded dimensions so that the assembled workbench can fit into your vehicle. The workbench must necessarily have the function of adjusting the height of the legs, otherwise it will be inconvenient to work behind it.
4. Weight. The lighter the folding workbench, the easier it is to transport it.
5. Accessories... The more additional functions and devices the workbench contains, the more convenient it will be for you to work with it.
