FAQs

Does this base come with wheels?

No, this product is the base only. You must purchase castors separately.

Is the gas lift included?

No, the gas lift must be purchased or sourced from your existing chair.

What is the weight capacity of this base?

This base is designed to meet standard office load requirements, providing a stable foundation for typical daily use.

Will this fit any office chair?

It is designed for universal compatibility with most standard office chairs, but please verify your existing gas lift and castor stem sizes first.

How do I remove my old base?

You typically need a rubber mallet to tap the base away from the gas lift cylinder once the seat has been removed.

Troubleshooting

Base seems wobbly after installation

Ensure the gas lift cylinder is fully seated and secured in the center hole of the base.

Castors do not fit correctly

Verify that your existing castors use a standard 11mm or 7/16-inch grip ring stem, which is the industry standard for these bases.

Gas lift does not fit

Confirm that your chair uses a standard Class 3 or Class 4 pneumatic cylinder with a universal tapered end.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation involves removing your existing gas lift and castors from your old base and inserting them into this new unit. Ensure your gas lift is compatible with a standard tapered mount before purchasing. To care for your base, wipe it down periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using abrasive chemical cleaners that may strip the black finish. Inspect the castor slots every few months to ensure they remain free of debris, which helps maintain smooth rolling performance.
