Bench units shall meet the following specifications.

ENTRANCES
Each bench unit shall have six walk-in entrances. Benches shall be attached to the table structure in a manner that does not significantly obstruct the user from entering the bench unit from the ends or in the center, between the benches. Any metal components located near the floor, where feet may easily come into contact with them, must be chrome plated. All other metal frame components are to be epoxy powdercoated.

LOCKING
A gravity lock shall firmly lock the table in the open position and must be capable of operation from both sides of the table. The lock rod shall be 7/16" diameter and chrome plated to resist wear. The table shall also be furnished with an intermediate position lock to allow units to be secured in a partially folded position for easier and faster movement during floor maintenance activities.

  Tops shall consist of high pressure plastic laminate bonded to a 5/8" minimum thick, 47 lb. particleboard core, sealed on the underside with a phenolic sheet. Edges of tops shall be banded with vinyl T molding, secured by staples to the top’s underside approximately every 10".
• OPTION 2: (PermaTuff™ edge, on particleboard core)
  Tops shall consist of high pressure plastic laminate bonded to a 5/8" minimum thick, 47 lb. particleboard core, sealed on the underside with a high pressure plastic laminate sheet.

Each top shall be supported by two 1-7/8" deep, 14 gauge steel frames. Frames shall contain no holes greater than ½" diameter and shall be capped with riveted plastic bumpers. Each top shall be supported width-wise in at least two places.

BENCHES
Benches shall be supported lengthwise, near their edges, with 1¼" deep steel channels and a support of equal or greater strength.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

When the bench unit is open for use, all casters shall lift from the floor automatically so that the table won’t roll. Casters that protrude beyond the end of the bench unit (when open for use) are prohibited, to prevent tripping hazards.

Bench units shall have no moving parts that can pinch, cut or pierce the operator’s hands while the table is being folded up or down. There shall be a gap between the table and bench tops of at least ¾" to prevent pinched fingers.
