As far as I know, my bearings are in good condition.
This is not something I would recommend. The bearings are not sealed, and the metal is not zinc-coated.
I use my on a table weighing 200 pounds and more. The lift lifts and locks in place very easily for me, even at 190 pounds.

Why would you buy an expensive, 700-pound workbench if it would have to roll? Here's a caster kit for your use. It not only gives me the flexibility to move the workbench as needed, but also allows the bench to rest in the exact location It is supported by solid wooden legs measuring two square feet in total. In addition, a very heavy downpour came through, so I climbed on my bench to be on the safe side. My shop was dripping with water overnight, so I was glad to see that water snaked through my shop and saved my bench. Adding a bar between the casters on either side of the wall would make them act as one when activated, which would allow two casters to amount of stress they must be subjected to when a corner is raised must be enormous, and is likely to be greater than the weight each caster is rated to support.
At the bottom of the box, you can see the template underneath the cardboard. If you spend a little bit more, this set can hold 800 lbs. (200 lbs. per caster) as opposed to 600-lbs. I am very pleased with the casters for the 800# I purchased. We've built a mobile workbench from repurposed maple bowling alley slabs - it's small and light and flimsy but does its job EXTREMELY HEAVY The layout of our shop includes moving things quite a bit and we wanted it to lay flat when not in use. There is a tendency for solutions of this type to stick out farther but are not as heavy as gauged solutions. It didn't seem necessary to use the relatively light-looking screws that were provided and I instead used 1/4-inch screws There are 20 bolts (right on the holes, by the way), running all the way up the support leg and backed by There is no doubt in my mind that I would consider this product again (and certainly in the near future, since I need to make a midi lathe stand and I have some left over bowling alley). I apologize to the supplier for not having the template in the ad. I wrote to Amazon complaining this was not the case. An extra piece of cardboard is tucked under the cardboard layer in the bottom of the box and this very handy template is tucked underneath.
As far as installation screws are concerned, I wasn't happy with them. Although they were pre-drilled, the Phillips head screws still had a tendency to strip Pilot holes are being drilled. Throughout the construction process, I chose better, steel, star-drive screws manufactured by American manufacturers. It looks like the casters are made of a heavy duty material. In my case, it has worked very well. On a portable staircase, they were used. On a portable work bench, I have previously had a similar set.
You can't trust these at all! After mounting the 2nd and 3rd in my work bench, I jacked it up and went to move it when the first two The world is full of ball bearings. I weigh about 300 pounds on my bench. In the end, it did need to be carried.
As a result of this project, I was able to assemble a bench that supported more than 700 pounds. Overages would seem to be enough for casters that can take 880lbs. The one that collapsed within the first 10 minutes of being loaded, almost as soon as I started moving the vehicle, may have just been unlucky. In addition to those three, I was able to move the bench, but now I believe that I will need to change my strategy of a stationary bench that is moved occasionally.
It's possible that the one which failed to lift was the first to be unloaded, which could have exceeded its weight capacity, but these are meant to be stepped on individually.
As I read the reviews on lower-rated jack casters, they claimed that they were flimsy and bent easily. I ended up buying jack casters rated at 880lbs. They are pretty heavy, so I don't expect that to be a problem. Since they're mounted to a tubular steel leg, the cross bolts were changed to 5/16 and the machine screws to 1/4. Despite the existing 5/16 cross bolt holes in the bracket and the 1/4 mounting holes already in the plate, we still had to drill out the 5/16 holes in the lever/caster plate. These scrap metal items are made out of a hard metal, which is due to the fact that they had to use an end mill instead of a Whether these will last or not will be determined by time. I think the wheels will be the ones to fail. Wheels of similar products have been reported to shatter, and these also seem to have a hard plastic core. In my opinion, they're a neat idea, but if the surface they're on is rigid you'll have all the weight of the side of your table/bench resting on that caster as soon as you push one down. You might have to engage another until your table or bench tips slightly, depending on the weight distribution.
Compared to web images on Amazon and the enclosed documentation in the box, measurements for where to mount the bracket from the base are quite different. The 2 were sent along with the 1. By reference to the slip of paper in the box, we specify the 4" dimensions however, we validate the measurement by mocking up on scrap first. My wheels are down and that gives me perhaps 1/2" of lift. There is also a slight difference in the screw patterns on three of the 4 brackets. A strange one did match the template supplied in the box, but none of the other three did. For the three odd screws, they were about 3/32" higher on the vertical axis. As mentioned earlier, there is just enough difference in the bolt patterns between the two brackets that, if you drill for the screws based on one, the other may not Check the hardware of your computer closely after you finish. You need to use all of the.
My workbench can be moved around easily with these. I was able to lift them very easily, they move smoothly on my floor (although it is pretty smooth) and their installation was pretty straightforward. It is true that the screw template wasn't exactly precise, but it serves to get both the height and centering right at the beginning. Additionally, the screws that come with it will work, but I would recommend using better screws to install.
