Why Choose DEA Worklab for Your Workshop Furniture
DEA Italian Worklab has established itself over more than a decade as a leader in industrial and automotive furniture solutions. Operating from state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Italy equipped with Industry 4.0 automated machinery, DEA combines traditional Italian design excellence with modern production precision. Every piece of furniture is manufactured using welded sheet metal construction with epoxy powder coating for exceptional durability and resistance to the harsh conditions found in industrial environments.
What distinguishes DEA from competitors is their comprehensive approach to workspace solutions. Beyond simply manufacturing furniture, DEA provides complete turnkey services including consultancy, 3D design visualisation, custom production capabilities, rigorous testing, transportation, professional installation, commissioning, and ongoing after-sales support. This end-to-end service ensures that every installation delivers optimal results tailored to specific operational requirements.
The quality inherent in DEA products is evident in every detail. Drawer systems feature the exclusive DEAmotion guides providing smooth, soft-closing operation with full extension for complete access to contents. Anti-tipping safety systems prevent multiple drawers opening simultaneously, protecting both users and equipment. Ergonomic aluminium handles incorporate label holders for organisation, whilst robust locking mechanisms secure valuable tools and components.
DEA Complete Units: Integrated Workspace Solutions
For businesses seeking comprehensive workspace solutions without the complexity of specifying individual components, DEA Complete Units provide ready-configured workstations designed by DEA's expert team. These complete units combine workbenches, drawer units, cabinets, and accessories into integrated systems optimised for specific applications.
Complete units offer several advantages over piecemeal specification. DEA's designers have carefully considered workflow requirements, ensuring that component placement maximises efficiency and ergonomics. The visual coherence of matched components creates professional environments that impress customers and motivate staff. Perhaps most importantly, complete units simplify procurement and installation, reducing project complexity and accelerating deployment timelines.
Applications for DEA complete units span automotive service centres where technicians need immediate access to diagnostic equipment and tools, manufacturing assembly lines requiring organised component presentation, maintenance facilities managing equipment servicing operations, and research laboratories demanding precision and cleanliness. Each complete unit can be further customised to incorporate specific accessories or modifications, ensuring perfect alignment with operational needs.
Industrial Workbenches: The Foundation of Professional Workshops
Every productive workshop requires solid, reliable work surfaces, and DEA Industrial Workbenches deliver exceptional performance across the most demanding applications. Available in lengths from 720mm to 2160mm and heights of 920mm and 1100mm, these workbenches support loads up to 800kg evenly distributed, accommodating even heavy-duty industrial tasks.
The worktop construction demonstrates DEA's commitment to quality. Two millimetre thick sheet metal with welded omega bar reinforcements provides the structural rigidity essential for precision work. The exclusive DCTS (DEA Coating Technology System) surface treatment protects against scratches, acids, battery liquid, petrol, solvents, and other chemicals commonly encountered in workshop environments. This protection ensures worktops maintain their appearance and functionality through years of intensive use.
Modular design philosophy allows workbenches to be configured precisely to available space and operational requirements. Single, double, and triple module options can be combined to create extended work surfaces of any practical length. Adjustable feet compensate for uneven floors, ensuring stable, level working conditions. Integration points accommodate vice mounting at any position along the bench length, whilst cable management solutions route electrical, data, and pneumatic services cleanly within furniture shoulders.
Material options extend beyond standard coated steel to include stainless steel worktops for cleanroom applications, laboratories, and food-related industries where hygiene and corrosion resistance are paramount. Wood worktop options provide softer surfaces appropriate for delicate assembly work or applications where metal-to-metal contact must be avoided.
Industrial Drawer Units: Organised Storage for Tools and Components
Effective tool and component storage is essential for workshop efficiency, and DEA Industrial Drawer Units provide exceptional capacity combined with robust construction. These fixed units integrate seamlessly with workbench compositions, creating organised workstations where every tool has its designated place.
DEA offers drawer units across their complete series range, with configurations featuring three to twelve drawers depending on model and size. Individual drawer capacities range from 30kg on standard DEAmotion slides up to 200kg on reinforced HD slides, accommodating everything from small components and documentation to heavy hand tools and equipment. Full extension slides ensure complete access to drawer contents, eliminating the frustration of items trapped at the rear of partially-opening drawers.
Safety features include anti-tipping systems that permit only one drawer to open at a time, preventing the dangerous forward imbalance that can occur when multiple heavy drawers extend simultaneously. Individual drawer locks protect valuable contents, with key, badge, or code-operated options available to suit different security requirements. Ergonomic extruded aluminium handles provide comfortable grip whilst incorporating label guides for systematic organisation.
Double-width drawer units provide expanded storage capacity for larger facilities. These units feature configurations with up to twelve drawers supporting loads of 100kg each, or eleven drawers rated at 200kg capacity. Total unit load capacities reach 1200kg on reinforced adjustable feet, demonstrating the substantial engineering underlying these professional storage solutions.
Industrial Cabinets: Secure Storage for Equipment and Supplies
When workshop requirements extend beyond drawer storage to accommodate larger items, bulky equipment, or materials requiring secure containment, DEA Industrial Cabinets provide the solution. With more than twenty different models available, DEA offers cabinet configurations to address virtually any storage challenge.
Cabinet construction follows the same high standards applied across the DEA range. Welded sheet metal bodies with epoxy powder coating resist corrosion and damage, whilst internal shelving systems support certified loads from 100kg up to 400kg depending on configuration. This substantial capacity accommodates heavy equipment, bulk materials, and large tooling that would overwhelm lesser storage solutions.
Cabinet designs include single door, double door, and motorised shutter options. Motorised shutters prove particularly valuable in busy workshop environments where doors that swing open create obstacles and safety hazards. The retractable design opens without encroaching on working space, maintaining clear transit areas whilst providing full access to cabinet contents.
Industrial Door Cabinets: High-Capacity Secure Storage
For applications requiring high-capacity secure storage with easy accessibility, DEA Industrial Door Cabinets deliver exceptional performance. These units feature customisable widths and heights to adapt to specific space constraints and storage requirements, ensuring maximum utilisation of available floor space.
Door cabinet configurations include fixed shelving for general storage, high-capacity pull-out shelves for heavy items, and bottomless designs that accommodate material storage on trolleys. This variety ensures that whatever your storage requirements, a suitable configuration exists within the DEA range. Internal organisation systems including perforated panels and accessory mounts enable further customisation to specific operational needs.
Ideal applications for door cabinets include spare parts storage in automotive and maintenance facilities, consumables management in manufacturing environments, personal protective equipment distribution points, and secure storage for valuable or sensitive materials. The lockable design protects contents whilst the professional appearance maintains workplace aesthetics.
Industrial Carts and Tool Trolleys: Mobile Tool Access
Workshop productivity often depends on having tools available at the point of use, and DEA Industrial Carts provide the mobility to bring organised tool storage directly to the work. These trolley units mount on robust castors, enabling movement between workstations, vehicles under service, or production line positions.
DEA tool trolleys serve dual functions. They can remain stationed at fixed workbenches, acting as integrated drawer units within larger compositions. Alternatively, they can be detached and wheeled to wherever tools are needed, eliminating time wasted walking back and forth to retrieve equipment. This flexibility proves invaluable in automotive workshops where technicians move between vehicles, manufacturing facilities where assembly operations span multiple stations, and maintenance operations covering extensive facilities.
The trolley range spans compact three-drawer models ideal for mechanics focusing on specific vehicle systems through to substantial eight-drawer units providing comprehensive tool organisation. Drawer capacities reach 45kg per drawer on larger models, supporting substantial tool collections without compromising mobility. Series 90 and Series 110 options provide different height configurations to suit user preferences and application requirements.
Mobile Workstations: Complete Portable Working Solutions
Taking mobile working to the next level, DEA Mobile Workstations combine the capacity of a trolley with the versatility of a complete workbench. The flagship DEA Tool Center exemplifies this category, providing a fully-equipped mobile solution that enables technicians to work productively wherever tasks demand.
Mobile workstations can be equipped with extensive accessories that transform them into comprehensive working platforms. Elevated swivel notebook stands with ventilated housing support diagnostic computers and service documentation. Spray can holders, paper roll dispensers, and water bottle holders address practical daily needs. Reinforced front structures with perforated tool panels bring essential equipment within immediate reach. Bodywork cover holders and similar specialised accessories address application-specific requirements.
The benefits of mobile workstations extend beyond convenience. By enabling technicians to spend more time at the vehicle or equipment being serviced, these units reduce non-productive walking time and improve diagnostic accuracy through consistent equipment availability. The professional appearance of DEA mobile workstations also enhances customer perceptions in service environments where clients observe ongoing work.
Series 90: Compact Height Workshop Furniture
The DEA Series 90 range provides workshop furniture at 90cm height, ideal for under-bench storage solutions and applications where lower profiles are preferred. This series includes drawer units, door cabinets, parts trolleys, and various storage modules designed to integrate beneath worktops or function as standalone units.
Series 90 drawer units feature five full-extension drawers mounted on DEAmotion slides with 70kg capacity per drawer, or reinforced HD slides supporting 200kg per drawer for heavy-duty applications. The compact height makes these units perfect for positioning beneath workbenches without impeding seated or standing work positions. Single and double-width options accommodate different space requirements.
Corner configurations within Series 90 enable efficient utilisation of workshop corners that might otherwise become dead space. Blind corner cabinets integrate smoothly into L-shaped or U-shaped workstation arrangements, maximising storage capacity within the available footprint. This thoughtful design attention exemplifies DEA's understanding of real-world workshop requirements.
Series 110: Standard Height Professional Furniture
At 110cm height, the DEA Series 110 range provides the standard working height preferred for most workshop applications. This series offers the broadest range of configurations, including workbenches, drawer units in single and extended widths, door cabinets, parts trolleys, and complete workstation compositions.
Series 110 drawer units expand storage capacity compared to Series 90, with configurations featuring six full-extension drawers supporting 200kg each. Tool trolleys in this series span 72cm to 108cm widths with six, seven, or eight drawer configurations offering up to 45kg capacity per drawer. The variety ensures that whatever drawer arrangement suits your tool collection and working style, a Series 110 option exists to meet the need.
Parts trolleys in Series 110 provide dedicated mobile storage for components, spare parts, and consumables. Their presence within the range demonstrates DEA's holistic approach to workshop organisation, recognising that effective operations require not just tool storage but comprehensive parts management as well.
Series 150: High-Capacity Tall Storage Units
When storage requirements demand maximum capacity, the DEA Series 150 range delivers exceptional drawer counts within a 150cm height envelope. These tall units provide the greatest drawer density in the DEA range, maximising organised storage within each unit's floor space allocation.
Series 150 double-width drawer units feature up to twelve full-extension drawers on reinforced HD slides, each supporting 100kg loads. Alternative configurations provide eleven drawers rated at 200kg each. Total unit load capacities reaching 1200kg on reinforced adjustable feet demonstrate the substantial construction underlying these professional storage solutions. Anti-tipping systems, individual drawer locks, and ergonomic handles maintain the safety and security features consistent across the DEA range.
Applications for Series 150 units include central tool storage in larger workshops, parts warehousing within manufacturing facilities, maintenance equipment storage for facilities management operations, and any situation where maximum drawer count within minimal floor space is the priority.
Series 200: Full-Height Workshop Furniture
The DEA Series 200 range provides full-height furniture solutions reaching 200cm, ideal for high closets, tall cabinets, and applications requiring maximum vertical storage. These units transform wall space into productive storage, keeping floor areas clear for operational activities.
High closets in Series 200 are perfect for workshops, maintenance centres, and industrial facilities requiring comprehensive storage solutions. Single door, double door, and motorised shutter configurations accommodate different access requirements. Fixed shelving, high-capacity pull-out shelves, and bottomless designs for trolley storage provide flexibility for diverse content types. Customisable widths and heights enable precise fitting to available wall space.
Series 200 cabinets and parts trolleys complete the full-height range, ensuring that whatever storage configuration your operation demands, DEA provides a purpose-designed solution. The consistent design language across all series ensures that mixed installations maintain visual coherence whilst addressing varied functional requirements.

This design service helps identify opportunities and resolve potential issues before manufacturing begins, protecting customer investments and accelerating successful project completion.
Professional Installation and Ongoing Support
Premium workshop furniture requires proper installation to deliver its full potential. DEA's turnkey service approach extends through transportation, assembly, positioning, and commissioning. Professional installers ensure furniture is correctly assembled, securely positioned, and properly integrated with building services. Adjustable feet are set for level operation, services connected, and accessories fitted in optimal positions.
After-sales support through Hall-Fast ensures ongoing access to replacement parts, additional accessories, and technical assistance throughout the furniture's service life. The modular design philosophy facilitates component replacement if damage occurs, avoiding costly whole-unit replacements. Our supply relationship with DEA ensures that customers can expand or modify installations as operational requirements evolve.
The Business Case for Premium Workshop Furniture
Investing in premium workshop furniture like DEA Worklab delivers measurable returns beyond simple utility. Productivity improvements result from organised tool storage eliminating search time, ergonomic work surfaces reducing fatigue and injury risk, and integrated solutions supporting efficient workflows. Staff satisfaction improves in well-equipped environments, reducing turnover costs and enhancing recruitment appeal.
Total cost of ownership analysis favours quality over budget alternatives. DEA furniture is engineered for fifteen-year plus service lives, dramatically reducing lifecycle costs compared to cheaper options requiring replacement every five to seven years. The modular design protects investments against changing requirements, enabling reconfiguration rather than replacement as operations evolve.
For customer-facing businesses, professional workshop appearance directly influences perception of service quality and expertise. Premium furniture communicates investment in proper equipment and commitment to excellence. Many automotive service centres find that DEA installations contribute to higher service pricing acceptance and improved customer confidence.
