SPACECARE Retractable Workbench Casters Kit, Heavy Duty Workbenches Wheels with 800 lbs Capacity, Adjustable Workbench Casters for Workbenches, Tables, and Cabinets, Easy to Install 4 Pack

The SPACECARE Retractable Workbench Casters Kit is like giving your workbench a set of monster truck wheels—suddenly that 600 lb beast glides around the shop like it’s on roller skates. The heavy-duty design feels rock solid, and the retractable feature means you can roll your bench into place, then lock it down so it won’t budge an inch. Installation is straightforward, and once mounted, they make moving bulky workbenches, tables, or cabinets almost effortless. If you’ve ever pulled a muscle trying to shove a heavy bench across the garage, these casters are the upgrade you didn’t know you desperately needed.

These casters are fantastic! I installed them quickly and easily with the supplied template and retainers. I installed them to a heavy bench. With the six hundred pounds capacity they are stable. As a cripple it's important for me to be able to move tables and benches easily. I can raise or lower the casters with my cane. They lock in place with ease. I can easily move this bench with one hand. Even when I have a couple hundred pounds of extra weight on the bench. Being able to move it with one hand makes it much safer for me. I'll be putting these casters on everything.

I was always moving my one workbench around and decided to try these casters. I really like these. It fit my application and now makes it so easy to move the bench. They are very sturdy - I looked at some others and these hold more weight than I needed but I was drawn to them. Only thing I would caution folks is when using the template to mount, make sure you do NOT put upside down. I see (or checked/tried) hole pattern and the bottom holes on brackets are different from top. It was easy to mark and install. I did however mark the bottom hole pattern on the bench leg after I centered it on the leg, then pre-drilled holes and mounted bracket. Then drilled pilot holes for top part of the mount and used screws provided. Worked very well. For company - future updates I would apply a means to attach each wheel to a bar or wood bar in order to raise both casters at the ends.... I found a place on youtube whereas someone did that and it looked really to use versus one at a time. Depending on the users application this configuration with a bar would be easy for heavy instances. All in all, great purchase.

Heavy duty. So far they are working great on a chop saw table I built out of scrap wood. Very heavy 2x4 and 3/4" plywood construction. The adjustable wheels work great. Easy to lift and return to the floor. Wheels move smoothly.

Floor-standing 6-inch jointers and 13-inch planers both need a base of nearly 2 ft x 2 ft. A handy lumber to use for a base is 5/4 (actual thickness = 1 inch) deck planking, which is heavy & strong yellow pine - and inexpensive. The 1-inch plank thickness works well with all the 1-inch #10 screws used. An 8 ft plank length is marginal, but they also come in 12 ft length (usually straight, but check). A 250 pound jointer can be outfitted with a base without ever having to lift it. Screw & glue a 3/4-inch thick x 1-inch or so wide runner along the inside bottom of two appropriate lengths (about 2 ft) of plank. Five 1.5-inch #6 or #8 screws should hold on their own if glue bond not strong. Tip the the jointer over until more than half of its housing length is resting on the two opposite runners. Use a rubber hammer to tap the two runners on their sides to keep containment, and tap them length-wise until they line up at each end ready to have the front & rear planks attached. Use 4 heavy gauge outside corner braces needing six 1-inch #10 wood or sheet metal screws each. If you mount the bottom of the caster wheel plate 1.75 above the frame bottom, the frame will clear the floor by 3/4-inch with wheels down, and rest solidly on its own legs with wheels up. (Keep focused on which way is up for the caster frames.). Be sure to leave a little room near the runner endpoints so that the jointer legs can reach through to the floor when wheels are up. The operation of lowering and raising the wheels is reasonably easy. The caster wheel assemblies come with everything needed, complete with lock washers and 24 1-inch #10 screws. Great product! A planer stand can be built with 2x3 legs, a 3/4-inch plywood top on a standard 1x4-inch board top frame, and the same 1-inch planking bottom frame. Screws of appropriate length can be used to secure the 2x3's to the upper and lower frames There are many mating surfaces in such a stand, and these can be glued & screwed to give strong stability with wheels up.

Easy to assemble, works great on large heavy table

Good quality and easy to install on my work bench.

These are good if you have a perfectly flawless floor. My garage floor has a few tiny bumps and these wheels are just too small to roll around nicely. I have 4" wheels on all of my other stuff and they work perfectly. I've only tested with my bench with nothing on it so far. So, about 150lbs. If I add some weight, I'm not sure I'll be able to move it without these tiny wheels breaking. I'll probably either look for a different option or see if there are better quality retractable casters, and just throw these away. I would use them on a tiny workbench I have, but I know it would be the same result. So just know, the floor has to be bump free. And to be clear, I don't really have bumps in my floor, there are little dime-sized holes, and they don't have the diameter for something so itty bitty to not affect them.

These casters work as expected. I purchased them with the mounting plates from Powertec. I can’t comment on whether this combo can hold 800 lbs, my bench does not weight that much. I don’t know what it weighs but it is perhaps 350 lbs. The casters and the mounting plates are very convenient as a package. A word of warning, any casters like this will twist your bench as only one leg can be lifted at a time. That said, some people have attached a bar between 2 casters so both can be raised or lowered together. I have not done that but like the idea.

Super 👍

It’s excellent

Should have bought these years ago as they help save and create space

Very impressed with this product, just what i needed.
