Electric Panel Assembly Workbench

Two pieces of advice...

1) Go and ask this question of the people who will be doing the assembly work for you. They will give you answers that will make their life easier, which should make the process more efficient.

2) Lots of light! Dark work areas can place quiet a strain on your workers.

The best things I have for my work bench are: an overhead crane on tracks so it can center over any part of my bench, even flip items over for me. I can flip one hundred pound doors myself, no helper. I have all my air and power coming from above. That avoids tripping over cords and hoses, and they are less likely to get hung up on what I'm working on. The air is coiled, retracts nicely, and I hang the end on the one-to-three electric extension cord that is just at arms reach from both sides of the bench. I can walk all around the bench, and as the other poster said, lots of light.

these are real useful

I've built different custom fixtures for the tops of these type of carts.

the only limit is your imagination

thank you all for your replies.

i already met the assembly team and collected some information, bust just wanted to collect more info since i'm still in the pre-design phase and now modification is easy.
