Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the total weight capacity of this caster set?

The set of four Rockler Workbench Casters has a total weight capacity of 180kg (400lb).

Are these casters suitable for all types of workbenches?

They are designed for most standard wooden workbenches. Ensure the legs are flat and sturdy for secure screw mounting. They are not recommended for metal legs unless appropriate adapters are used.

How do I switch between stationary and mobile modes?

Use the foot levers. Pushing down on the lever engages the casters for mobility, lifting the workbench onto the wheels. Releasing the lever allows the workbench to rest on its feet, securing it in place.

What material are the wheels made of?

The wheels are made of high-quality polyurethane.

Do I need to install all four casters?

Yes, for maximum stability and to achieve the stated weight capacity, all four casters should be installed.

Can these casters be used outdoors?

While durable, they are primarily designed for indoor workshop environments. Prolonged exposure to outdoor elements may affect their performance and lifespan.

What is the benefit of polyurethane wheels?

Polyurethane wheels offer good durability, quiet operation, and are less likely to mar or damage workshop floors compared to harder materials like metal or hard rubber.

Troubleshooting

Workbench is difficult to roll.

Ensure the foot levers are fully disengaged, lifting the bench completely onto the casters. Check for any debris obstructing the wheel.

Casters do not lock securely.

Verify that the foot levers are fully engaged and that the workbench is resting firmly on its feet. Check for any damage to the lever mechanism.

Screws will not tighten properly.

Ensure you are using the correct size screws and that the pilot holes are appropriately sized for your workbench material. Avoid over-tightening.

Wheels squeak during movement.

Clean the wheels thoroughly. If the squeaking persists, a small amount of appropriate lubricant may be applied to the wheel axle, but avoid over-application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  2. Mark pilot hole locations using the caster plate as a template.
  3. Drill pilot holes for the included screws.
  4. Securely attach each caster to the workbench leg using the provided screws.
