Biotech
The design, construction, and installation of biotechnology laboratories require careful planning and execution by experts, whether implementing a new facility or managing an existing one.
Lab Furniture for Manufacturing
Manufacturing labs take harder daily use than most. Quality control benches carry heavy metrology equipment, R&D stations get reconfigured as product lines shift, and every surface has to survive constant handling without going out of level or wearing through.
For more than 50 years, Hanson Lab Solutions has built lab furniture for manufacturing that holds up to those conditions, from QC and metrology rooms to production support labs. We manufacture welded steel workstations, casework, and fume hoods in-house, then design and install complete labs so the pieces work together on your floor.
Built for the Weight and Wear of a Production Floor
The frame is what determines how much a bench can hold and how long it stays square. Our Agility™ workstations use a thick-gauge welded steel frame with the highest load capacity of any workstation on the market, supporting up to 3,000 pounds for heavy instruments and testing rigs. For labs with lighter equipment, M-Series™ benches carry up to 1,200 pounds and cover the majority of everyday applications at a lower cost. Both systems are backed by our steel casework, which uses a full 1-1/4″ frame with fully welded corners, one of the strongest cabinet builds in the industry.
Work surfaces are matched to what happens on the bench. We furnish phenolic and epoxy resin tops for chemical resistance in testing and wet work, laminate for lighter-duty and shelving areas, and type 304 or 316 stainless steel for sterile stations and wet areas like glassware washing.
Manufacturing Laboratory Design That Matches Your Workflow
Good manufacturing laboratory design addresses the way your team uses the space. Our lab planners lay out rooms using lean efficiency principles to cut wasted steps between stations, and we build in room to grow so a future line change doesn’t force a full redesign. We also account for code from the start, working within OSHA, EPA, and FDA requirements, and can integrate IoT monitoring where you want automated data capture on the floor.
Lab Installation for the Manufacturing Industry, Start to Finish
Because we’re the manufacturer, lab installation for the manufacturing industry runs through a single source rather than a chain of subcontractors. Our team handles engineering, delivery, and setup, and coordinates the plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and ventilation tie-ins your equipment needs. After installation, we stay on for maintenance checks and reconfiguration as your lab evolves. When a timeline is tight, the Hanson Express program ships in-stock products in 2 to 4 weeks, drawn from over 1,000 linear feet of ready-to-go inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do your benches come ready for power, data, and specialty gases, or does that get added on site?
The utilities can be built into the bench itself through our Agility™ Service Hub, which pre-installs services directly in the frame instead of running conduit and lines to each station after the fact. Options include AC power, RJ45 Ethernet, USB power, specialty gases, isolated or multiple circuits, and dedicated emergency power. The Hub is certified to both UL and CSA standards and housed in an anodized aluminum-alloy enclosure built to hold up on a working plant floor.
If a bench or cabinet gets damaged, how quickly can we get a replacement part?
Quickly, because you’re working with the factory directly. Hanson controls its own production schedule and runs a five-day turnaround on replacement parts for damaged items. In a manufacturing lab where a down station stalls testing or product release, that direct-from-manufacturer response matters more than it would in a lower-stakes setting.
Can you supply fume hoods and chemical storage for our testing areas, not just benches?
We do. Along with workstations, Hanson builds benchtop and floor-mounted fume hoods and dedicated chemical storage cabinets. The benchtop 5SA line comes in general-purpose, Hi-Line, and ADA-compliant versions, and the floor-mounted 4SA line is available with a vertical or horizontal sash. Hood features include a crush-resistant sill airfoil and a wire chase for cord management, with an optional automatic sash for hands-free operation.
Can benches be set up double-sided for an island or line layout?
Yes. The Agility™ Adaptable bench can be configured double-sided, and each side adjusts to its own worktop height independently, so two operators sharing an island can each set their station to the task in front of them. That helps when you’re trying to fit more working positions into a fixed floor footprint.
Do you offer ADA-compliant stations for the lab?
Yes. Hanson makes ADA-compliant base cabinets at a lower, knee-space worktop height, plus an ADA-compliant version of the benchtop fume hoods. That lets an accessible station get worked into the layout without a separate one-off build.
Our lab space is an odd shape. Can furniture be sized to fit, or are we stuck with standard modules?
In most cases, the standard product line already covers the application, and standard furniture is faster to get and more affordable. Where a room or a piece of equipment needs something the catalog doesn’t cover, our specialists tailor the design to the space, and work surfaces in particular are fabricated to your exact size requirements.
