Boost Ergonomics & Lean Benefits with 80/20 Workstations
Prefabricated options are not tailored to your processes and are not as sturdy, dependable, or as strong as 80/20 custom solutions. They don’t last as long, can’t be reused, and aren’t reconfigurable. Most often something off-the-shelf can’t be integrated into your existing applications. 80/20 fits your needs for today, and tomorrow.
Integrate Components
T-slot profiles allow for components to be directly mounted like computer monitors onto a workstation or route cables and wires through integrated channels in a tool cart. 80/20 also allows for the easy integration of storage, safety controls, and lighting. Additionally, T-slot frames and workstations can be seamlessly adapted for pressurization, enabling you to maintain and regulate desired pressure levels.
Adjustable Heights
Attain optimal ergonomic positioning at any height with our adaptable lift systems. Easily attachable to T-slot profiles, these systems provide precise height adjustment for your workstations, available with either a manual crank or electric power for effortless operation. For heavy-duty applications on workspaces and machine frames, choose the robust column lift option.
Reduce Strain
Minimize the risk of injury from overreaching and awkward movements by integrating gravity rollers into your material handling systems. These rollers streamline material movement in both your flow racks and workstation processes. Gravity rollers are designed for versatility and are compatible with both T-slot profiles and pipe and joint framing, ensuring a seamless fit with your existing infrastructure.
Studies report that musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are the largest category of workplace injuries, comprising about 30% of all costs.
Pipe & Joint System
Flexpipe, an 80/20 Brand, offers a lightweight and versatile pipe and joint framing system that's ideal for meeting ergonomic standards. You can assemble it with just simple hand tools, making quick modifications and expansions a breeze as your needs change.
The system uses steel pipes coated with colorful polyethylene, which are then connected with various joint sets. Flexpipe structures are perfect for material handling and can even be integrated with 80/20 T-slot structures for even more flexibility.
Optimize Your Workflow and Get Lean
80/20 modular T-slot aluminum framing systems let you build tailored lean manufacturing solutions perfectly suited to your specific environment, workflows, and employees. 80/20 components are just as durable and strong as steel, but they offer distinct advantages: they don't corrode, are lighter and easier to maneuver, and don't require long-term maintenance like painting or protective coatings.
