Yes, Treston products are designed for easy and efficient assembly. Most products come with detailed assembly instructions, and many products are pre-assembled to save time and effort during installation.  

• Treston workbenches also include assembly videos which you can find in the Videos section of the website.

The maximum weight capacity for Treston workbenches varies by model. Standard benches typically support up to 300 kg (661 lbs) load, while heavy-duty workbench models can handle more than 1000 kg (2205 lbs). 

• The capacity can be checked from the Workbenches web page.

Yes, many Treston workstations are height adjustable to support ergonomic working positions. Adjustment can be done manually—using an Allen key, hand crank, or the Treston-patented Quick Edge mechanism—or electrically, depending on the model.

Treston offers a full range of ESD-safe workstations under the ESD Proof by Design™ concept. These solutions are built from the ground up to prevent electrostatic discharge and protect sensitive components in EPA environments. Key features include:

• Integrated ESD protection: ESD safety is built into the structure of the workstation—not added as an afterthought—ensuring consistent and reliable protection.
• Conductive materials and coatings: Surfaces are finished with ESD powder-coated paint and ESD-laminates, allowing static charges to dissipate safely.
• Effective grounding: All ESD workstations include grounding components that enable a controlled discharge path for static electricity.
• Standards compliance: Treston’s ESD solutions meet international standards including IEC 61340-5-1, IEC 61340-6-1, and ANSI/ESD S20.20.
• Long-term reliability: Backed by over 40 years of experience in ESD solutions and a 10-year warranty, Treston workstations are a trusted choice for demanding environments.

Treston provides two ESD-grounding options, depending on the workbench model and EPA setup:

• Wired grounding: The workbench is grounded with a cord directly to the common point grounding (CPG), typically using a grounding cord.
• Wireless grounding: The workbench is grounded through its conductive ESD paint simply by placing it on a compliant ESD floor—no separate grounding cord is needed.

Read more about ESD grounding on our comprehensive white paper

Treston ESD workstations comply with ANSI S20.20, IEC 61340-5-1, and IEC 61340-5-2 standards. These standards define the requirements for preventing electrostatic discharge in EPA (ESD Protected Area) environments. Treston's ESD solutions are designed and tested to meet these international guidelines for safety, grounding, and material performance.

ESD certificates are available upon request—customers can contact Treston to receive documentation related to product compliance.

The most effective way to test an ESD workstation is by measuring the surface resistance of the workbench and related components. 

Use an ESD surface resistance meter to verify that resistance values are within the acceptable range—typically between 1×10⁶ and 1×10⁹ ohms for ESD work surfaces, as defined by standards like IEC 61340-5-1 and ANSI/ESD S20.20. Testing should also include grounding points to ensure proper dissipation of static electricity. 

Regular resistance checks help maintain compliance and ensure ongoing protection of sensitive electronics.

Read our whitepaper on measuring ESD for more detailed guidance

Yes, regular maintenance is important to ensure ESD surfaces continue to perform effectively. ESD surfaces should be cleaned with approved ESD-safe cleaners that do not leave insulating residues. Avoid using standard household cleaners, as they can reduce the surface’s conductivity. Periodic testing of surface resistance is also recommended to ensure continued compliance with ESD standards.
