HENGDONG ALUMINUM
New from HENGDONG | 28 mm Lean Tubes for Racks, Workbenches and Carts
A bin that sits too low means another bend. Scattered tools mean another search. Poorly spaced cart shelves make materials harder to organize.
Small layout decisions shape how a workstation works every day.
Introducing HENGDONG's 28 mm stainless steel and plastic-coated lean tubes: options for building material racks, workbenches and transfer carts around the way your team works.
28 mm stainless steel and plastic-coated lean tubes
01 / Choose the Look That Fits Your Setup
For a clean metallic appearance, consider mirror-finish stainless steel tubes. Their silver finish suits layouts where a consistent metal look is preferred.
For color-based organization, choose plastic-coated tubes. The outer plastic layer provides a range of colors for identifying workstations, materials or areas.
Match the tube option to the purpose and appearance of your setup, from a coordinated workbench to an easily identified material rack.
02 / Make Materials Easier to Identify
When several workstations and material types share the same space, clear visual cues help people find the right location.
The plastic-coated range comes in beige, off-white, white, blue, green and red.
Use different colors for racks serving different processes, distinguish carts by purpose, or keep one work area visually consistent. Follow your site's existing identification rules when assigning colors.
Pair tube colors with labels and bin markings to make each item's destination clear.
Product renderings are for illustration. Actual colors may vary.
03 / Design Around Everyday Tasks
Material racks: plan for easy access.
Set shelf spacing and storage positions around bin dimensions, material types and picking frequency. Give frequently used items a fixed location and leave room for replenishment.
Workbenches: keep the task within reach.
Arrange the worktop, tools and small parts around the assembly sequence to reduce unnecessary searching and repeated trips for supplies.
Transfer carts: connect one process to the next.
Plan shelf spacing around container sizes and quantities. Consider aisle access, loading direction and how materials move between workstations.
28 mm lean tubes can form part of these structures. Select compatible joints, worktops and casters to suit the complete design.
Red and blue plastic-coated lean tubes
04 / Match the Specification to the Structure
Available thickness designations vary by material and color:
Mirror-finish stainless steel: T1.2, T1.5 and T2.0.
Beige, off-white and white plastic-coated tubes: T0.8, T1.0, T1.2, T1.5 and T2.0.
Blue, green and red plastic-coated tubes: T1.0 and T1.2.
Consider the tube specification together with the span, support arrangement, joint selection and intended load when planning your structure.
Build Around the Work
From a bin's position to a workbench layout or a cart's shelf spacing, a practical setup starts with how people work and how materials move.
HENGDONG's 28 mm stainless steel and plastic-coated lean tube range is now available.
