Whether you're opening a workshop, interested in purchasing new workshop equipment and tools, or simply looking to equip your home garage, the following guide will help you make the right choice of all the items and furniture you'll need.
Workbenches
A reliable and quality workbench is the first and most important piece of equipment in your workshop, regardless of its size and type of work. The workbench is the focus of all your work and projects.
While many may prefer a cheap or do-it-yourself solution, a workbench is an investment and a truly quality workbench from a reputable company with experience in the field is the way to go. Alkan has been active for years in the field of metal furniture and specifically in professional equipment, including workshop items.

Tool carriers
The more tools and accessories you use and need, the greater the need for proper organization and storage. There is nothing more frustrating than frantically searching for a tool or part for a job that will take you 10 minutes.
For garages of any size and for all your needs, on our pages you will find a multitude of professional metal tool carriers. Choose between 3, 5 or even 7 drawers and place the drawers on either one or both sides of your workbench.
All our drawers have wheels for easy movement of the tools in the workshop area and have telescopic guides (full extension) with balls and stops for smooth and unhindered opening and closing of the drawers. All our tool carriers are manufactured to the highest standards on the market and each drawer offers up to 45kg of acceptable weight.
Lighting
Inadequate and inappropriate lighting can have a negative effect on your work and lead to wasted time or even mistakes.
Luckily it's not expensive or difficult to upgrade your lighting. The best choice for business premises is LED lighting. Prefer long, narrow, parallelogram ceiling lights that diffuse the light evenly throughout the space. LED lamps offer longer life and lower consumption.
As additional lighting, it is suggested that you also invest a little money in portable projectors or lamps that you can carry around and illuminate dark spots as you work on the various items on your workbench.
Floor
Obviously any floor can be used as a workshop floor but a floor with an upgraded finish will offer more protection to objects in the event of them being dropped, will protect against spills and liquids such as oil, grease and paint and will be easier when you want to clean the area your.
A popular choice is a resin coated finish but if you want to keep costs down you can go for good quality tiles which offer great ease of installation as well as removal in the future.
