Manufacturing
Building and outfitting manufacturing laboratories requires specialized expertise, whether you are constructing a brand new lab facility or managing an existing one.
Lab Furniture for Research & Development
Research and development programs evolve as new equipment, processes and priorities emerge. Hanson Lab Solutions provides adaptable laboratory furniture that can be reconfigured as requirements change, helping facilities respond without requiring a complete renovation.
We’ve been doing this for more than 50 years, working with everyone from university research groups to corporate R&D divisions. Our factory in Camarillo, California handles design, manufacturing, and installation under one roof, which keeps your project moving without handoffs between separate vendors.
Lab managers, principal investigators, and the architects and general contractors who build out their space all work with us for the same reason: one team, one accountable timeline, and durable furniture that adapts to your needs.
Flexible Workstations
R&D laboratory design often requires planning for equipment and processes that may change over time. M-Series lab benches support loads up to 1,200 pounds, while Agility workstations support loads up to 3,000 pounds for more demanding applications. Both systems can be configured with pre-installed power, data and gas services and can be reconfigured as equipment and workflows change.
The rest of the system is built to withstand demanding daily laboratory use and can be configured with:
- Steel casework with a full 1-1/4 inch frame and fully welded corners
- Fume hoods in benchtop (5SA series) and floor-mounted (4SA series) models, spanning General Purpose, Hi-Line, Walk-in, and ADA Benchtop configurations
- Shelving, sinks, and electrical to round out the bench
Working With Your Architect or General Contractor
If you’re the architect or GC on a research & development laboratory design project, we adapt to your process. That means CSI Division 11- and 12-formatted specs, cut sheets, and CAD or BIM files, built off your drawings.
Quick-Ship Furniture or Complete Laboratory Buildout
Need something fast? Hanson Express maintains more than 1,000 linear feet of ready-to-ship inventory, with estimated lead times of 2–4 weeks for many products and 2–6 weeks for select fume hood configurations. Need a full buildout instead? Our project team handles design, engineering, manufacturing, delivery, and lab installation for the R&D industry as one continuous process, with a single team accountable for the whole timeline.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between the Agility Mobile, Adaptable, and Essential workstations?
Agility Mobile runs on heavy-duty locking casters so the bench can move around the lab as needs change. Agility Adaptable keeps a fixed footprint but adjusts worktop height, including independent height adjustment on double-sided benches. Agility Essential covers the same modular, expandable frame at a fixed countertop height, for labs that don’t need height adjustment but still want the flexibility to reconfigure later.
Is the Agility Service Hub certified for lab use?
Yes. The Service Hub, which handles power, data, and specialty gas connections built into Agility benches, is UL- and CSA-certified.
Does Hanson’s furniture help with OSHA, EPA, or FDA compliance?
We build compliance into the layout stage. Our team factors in OSHA, EPA, and FDA guidelines while planning your space, then works through your lab and application requirements as the design comes together.
Is Hanson only an option if we’re located near California?
No. Hanson manufactures laboratory furniture in Camarillo, California, while supporting laboratory projects across the country. Hanson Express also ships quick-ship products nationwide.
