More About This Product
The Armorgard Mobile TuffBench MBH12 combines a heavy-duty secure storage cabinet with a multi-purpose work surface, delivering a 2-in-1 solution for site work. Constructed from 2mm and 3mm steel with a powder-coated finish, the MBH12 features a solid wooden top surface that can be removed to expose the metal work surface beneath - ideal for fixing chain vices, engineers vices, and other equipment. The integral secure cabinet keeps tools and equipment safe from theft and damage, secured by twin 5-lever deadlocks with an internal anti-jemmy system. Extra-heavy duty 160mm castors (two with brakes) and four-way forklift skids make the unit easy to move around site.
Suitable Applications
The Mobile TuffBench MBH12 is designed for M&E contractors, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and any trade requiring a mobile work surface with secure tool storage. The combination of workbench and lockable cabinet eliminates the need to travel back and forth between work areas and storage, improving efficiency on site. The removable wooden top makes it suitable for carpenters and joiners, while the metal surface beneath is ideal for pipe threading, bending, and general metalwork. Common applications include fit-out projects, mechanical installations, maintenance work, and any task requiring a portable workshop.
Site benches are built for outdoor conditions rather than permanent workshop use. For cutting work that generates dust, a cutting station contains it.
Safety Information
- Do not exceed the 1000kg safe working load.
- Ensure wheel brakes are engaged before carrying out work on the bench.
- Secure all tools and equipment inside the cabinet before moving the unit.
- Use forklift skids for moving loaded units - do not push or pull when heavily loaded.
- Inspect castors and brakes regularly for wear or damage.
- Keep keys secure and do not leave the unit unlocked when unattended.
