Description

The PU552 is a bench-height polyurethane lab stool with footring, for standing benches around 900 mm in busy shared labs where the seat must simply wipe clean and keep going. Purchased over 946 times to date.

For seated benches and desks, specify the desk-height PU550; where a backrest is wanted for longer spells, step up to a bench-height lab chair. The lab chair height guide confirms the class.

Seat

A moulded polyurethane seat — solid, seam-free and wipe-clean. It tolerates routine laboratory cleaning agents and shrugs off knocks, spills and daily wash-down, which is why PU is the default choice for busy shared benches.

Feet or castors

Supplied with feet as standard, which is usually right for a tall chair at a standing bench. Castors are available at a price uplift — specify soft-tyre for hard or vinyl flooring, and lock-off or lock-down castors where the chair must stay put. Consider the safety requirements of your working environment before choosing castors on a high chair.

Who uses the PU552

Supplied to research and clinical laboratories at the University of Sheffield and NHS Blood and Transplant. The lab stool range is also in use at Imperial College London and University College London.

Ordering

Purchase orders accepted, VAT invoice supplied. Volume pricing from 4 units. Delivery included to mainland Britain. UK support and spares available — we have been supplying laboratory and technical seating since 1986.
