Forte™ is one of the industry's most cost effective plug and play systems.
As an adaptable laboratory table system Forte™ functions as a heavy-duty workstation for laboratories.
Vertical tubing uprights provide structural support for above counter storage and laboratory gas and power distribution.
The tables have a 1000 pound work surface and 1500 pound total work load capacity.
Tables are available in many styles as adjustable or fixed height.
Laboratory casework is provided with modular cabinets, either suspended from the table frame or standalone mobile cabinets, to allow for easy reconfiguring.
Adaptable systems such as Forte™ typically utilize overhead service distribution through the ceiling grid with quick-connect fittings and flexible hoses cords.
The Forte™ system utilizes flexible hoses, quick-connect gas fittings, and twist-lock plugs for power. This method allows tables and service reconfigurations to be quickly completed - at minimum cost and downtime. Gas services & power raceways can easily be added to the system, moved, or removed with the system's design.
The Forte™ table system stands 100% independent from building structure while maintaining a module integration to vital laboratory services.
We offer laboratory casework with modular cabinets such as overhead storage, suspended or mobile, and over-counter shelving supported by the uprights.
The Forte™ tables work seamlessly with our other product lines, such as Basic fixed laboratory casework, providing a great blend of possibilities in your laboratory layout.
A.T. Villa was the first to use the square tube design, which provides a modern design element and practicality. The leg frames use tele
The telescoping frame legs allow the Forte™ system's work surfaces adjustability in 1" height increments. Worksurfaces accommodate uniform loads of 1000 lbs. each, and upper shelves accommodate 200 lbs. each.
Single-sided and double-sided configurations are available, allowing you to select the ideal level of adaptability and value for your specific environment. In addition, we offer table styles without the uprights as free-standing, perimeter, and end table designs.
Vertical uprights of 77" & 84" heights to support shelving, services and accessories.
Integrate with the single-sided and double-sided tables while providing an open overhead space or independently in islands, peninsulas or along the exterior walls.
Designed to provide a perpendicular table that finishes out evenly with an island or peninsula run of laboratory tables. End tables function similar to other styles and offer more open sight lines.
Rear table legs are inset four inches allow space for services such as wall mounted raceways and piping to freely clear the table legs. Work surfaces extend to the back wall.
All of the Forte™ table types allow the addition of a laboratory sink with drop-in or undermount methods and your choice of Trespa TopLab Plus phenolic resin or epoxy resin work tops.
Cabinets for the Forte™ system are designed as flexible modular units. They are available in a wide variety of sizes and styles both for casters based mobile cabinets & suspended cabinets.
Details of cabinet styles and sizes can be viewed in our Catalogs.
Shelving is commonly powder-coated steel—a practical solution due to its strength, simplicity, and value. Retaining rails are available. Shelves mechanically fastened to the uprights to ensure stability and seismic concerns.
Worksurfaces are offered in epoxy resin and Trespa's TopLab Plus, phenolic resin tops. The Forte™ table structures accommodate epoxy resin sinks or stainless steel laboratory sinks. Shelves are available in painted steel, epoxy resin, Trespa, and wood finishes.

Flexible solutions with flexible hoses, cables, and quick-connect gas fittings. This is the concept with an adaptable laboratory furniture system like Forte™. In today's laboratories, bringing most services to the furniture from the ceiling has become an accepted practice. This distribution through the ceiling grid allows you to access later and relocate services if needed, allowing your lab to adapt to new equipment and technology with minimal downtime and cost.

Gases and power are distributed into the uprights with flexible hoses and cables. This method provides to most flexibility in the industry. This allows services to be add, removed and relocated in a fraction of the time of other systems.
Horizontal and vertical power raceways attach along the uprights at nearly any height location. The modular approach of the Forte™ system allows the flexibility to relocate these raceways easily and with minimal downtime.
Ceiling Service Panels offer many benefits to a laboratory casework project. They are the most cost-effective method to distribute gas, power, and data services into your lab. Not only are they simple and attractive, but with quick-connect fittings, they also improve the installation process and offer future flexibility.
In addition to casework and shelving the table frame provides a structural support for most any needed accessory. We offer many standard accessory options and custom solutions to finish out your laboratory.
