Adjustable height lab bench applications
Innova’s height-adjustable benching systems offer versatile, efficient workspaces for any laboratory, from school science labs to university research centres and advanced industrial facilities. They support a wide range of scientific tasks – including sample preparation, microscopy, and equipment operation – across disciplines like chemistry, biology, and physics.

Choosing the right adjustable height benching
Selecting the right adjustable-height bench depends on lab layout and specific needs, including research type, load capacity, and level of adjustability. Consider electric or manual operation, available accessories, and overall durability.
Manual Adjustment Systems
Our manual adjustment systems offer a cost-effective solution for laboratories where height changes are infrequent. These benches feature:
- Robust hand-crank mechanisms for smooth and precise height adjustments
- Locking systems to ensure stability at the desired height
- Height range typically from 700mm to 1000mm
- Load capacity of up to 200kg, depending on the model
Electric Adjustment Systems
For laboratories requiring frequent height adjustments or those prioritising user convenience, our electric adjustment systems provide effortless operation:
- Push-button controls for easy height adjustment
- Memory settings to store preferred heights for different users or tasks
- Height range typically from 650mm to 1250mm
- Load capacity of up to 300kg, depending on the model
- Quiet operation to minimise disruption in the laboratory environment

Adjustable laboratory benching: Key considerations
