Workbench Caster Kit

Workbench Caster Kit

Make your workbench mobile with this swivel caster wheel set.

A rock solid, stable workbench is the centerpiece of many workshops. While an unyielding bench is a wonderful thing, there are times when being able to easily move your workbench around the shop would be really handy. This set of 4 swivel casters is the easiest way we’ve found to create workbench mobility, while maintaining workbench stability. The swivel feature gives maximum maneuverability and when you’re finished moving the bench, just flip up the foot pedals and your bench legs return fully and firmly onto the floor. This is a perfect solution for garage workshops with limited space, where a requisite to actually begin work often involves the moving of tools (and cars).

Installation is quick and with just driving a few screws. If needed, use an appropriate shim to accommodate for any leg offset, to ensure the vertical mounting plate of the caster bears fully flush to the leg.

Of course these mobility casters are suitable for more than just a workbench. With a mounting plate that measures 3-1/2" long x 2" wide, attach them to the legs of router tables, machine stands, shop assembly tables or anything else with a suitable vertical support structure you can securely screw into.

When the caster wheels are “up” (not touching the floor) and oriented for minimal projection, they'll protrude out about 5" from the leg.

NOTICE: To install, position the bottom of each mounting plate 1-3/4" to 2" up from the bottom of your bench leg. The lower the mounting position, the higher the wheel lifts the bench up. (Mounting instructions are NOT included inside the box. See link below for instructions.)
