THE benefits of a custom-built machinery workshop and shed are significant, and Action Steel can help you create the best set-up for your needs.
A well-designed machinery workshop shed makes maintenance easier, reduces maintenance costs and minimises downtime.
“Not only does a workshop make maintaining and operating machinery easier and less stressful, but it also makes it safer,” an Action Steel spokesperson said.
“This is true whether you are running a cropping enterprise or contract harvesting.
“If you are looking to take advantage of these benefits, and are considering a new workshop shed build, then the workshop built for Monk & Son Ag Services will provide plenty of inspiration.”
The workshop, in Cobrico, Victoria, measures 126 metres long and 27m wide, and was carefully planned.
“The design incorporates several functional features that can also be a good fit for smaller scale workshop and maintenance sheds,” the spokesperson said.
“Firstly, the configuration takes advantage of the versatility of an open-front shed to achieve an open workshop or storage area which can easily be repurposed in the future.
“Several bays have been enclosed with sliding doors to create a sheltered and secure lockup workshop area.
“This allows the design and configuration to provide the best of both worlds.
“The eight metre cantilevered canopy provides sheltered access to the workshop and provides an area where vehicles and machinery can be parked for quick and easily accessible shelter.
“This is beneficial at harvest and in unexpected weather events.”
A concrete slab through the shed, in the storage and workshop area, and a concrete apron along the front of the shed bring a lot of advantages including improving access to the shed.
“Concrete slabs also make moving and maintaining the machinery easier,” the spokesperson said.
“Other features and considerations of the project included good access and site planning to work in with the existing infrastructure.
“One of Action Steel’s standard size spans and bay spacings have been used to help create a cost-effective design.”
