Aluminum Locker Benches are strong, durable, and attractive seating areas that are very popular in athletic and work facilities. Their applications range from industrial and warehouse facilities to office and country club facilities. Any locker room where people need to change clothing will be a place where people need temporary seating. These locker benches feature rounded edges that provide more comfortable seating and eliminate sharp edges that can snag clothing and bare bottoms. These lockers are available in a range of lengths and are 100% aluminum. Both the bench seat and the pedestals have been given a treatment or coating to prevent oxidation and rust.

Our Aluminum Locker Benches are all eighteen inches in height and ten inches in width. The lengths of the benches range from thirty-six to ninety-six inches, or three to eight feet. Other available benches are four, five, six, and seven foot lengths. The three foot bench weighs fifteen pounds while the four foot bench weighs twenty pounds. The five foot bench weighs twenty-five pounds and each one foot increment in bench length adds five pounds to the weight. The two pedestals are three inches in diameter and have four mounting holes for secure mounting to the surface.

These Aluminum Locker Benches feature an anodized aluminum bench seat. Metals can be structurally weakened by the rusting or oxidation process. However, a chemical process known as “anodizing” can make aluminum stronger and more durable on its surface. It will also significantly help the aluminum increase its corrosion resistance. The anodizing process is started by placing the aluminum in a chemical acid bath, such as acetone. At this point an electrical current is passed through the acid. The aluminum will act as the positive anode of a chemical battery while the acid will act as the negative anode. This will cause the surface of the aluminum to oxidize or rust. The surface of the aluminum is now coated by a layer of oxidized aluminum which is stronger and harder than that of the original aluminum. This surface coating is referred to as anodized aluminum. Some anodizing processes can make the anodized aluminum nearly as hard as diamond. Because anodized aluminum can be made extremely strong and durable, some of its applications include parts for automobiles and space satellites.

The pedestals on these Aluminum Locker Benches are given long term protection from corrosion by coating them with a thermoplastic coating. In this process a dry plastic-like or plastic-epoxy powder is literally “blown” onto the metal part. An electrical current is used to enable a stronger adhesion between the dry powder and the metal. The pedestals are then cured or heated to allow the powder to form a very secure and protective “skin” around the metal. This thermoplastic coating is very durable and will not crack or peel. It will protect the metal from corrosion and if it is damaged it can be easily repaired with an industrial heat gun.

Our Aluminum Locker Benches are an attractive combination of strength and durability. Their traditional look will remain contemporary for many years. All of the locker benches are delivered unassembled for easier and more economical shipping. However, assembly is very simple and easy
