Product Information

Full details

The Sealey FDT3 Fold Down Telescopic Trestle is an ideal support solution for workshop professionals and DIY enthusiasts who require a stable, adjustable platform for cutting, drilling, or assembling long and large workpieces. Its primary benefit is the 7-position height adjustment, which allows for ergonomic operation across varied tasks; however, users should note that its 200kg capacity, while robust for most projects, may not support heavy-duty industrial machinery or extreme loads.

FAQs

What is the maximum height of the FDT3?

The trestle reaches a maximum height of 1300mm.

Can I use this for supporting heavy logs?

As long as the total weight does not exceed the 200kg capacity, it is suitable for supporting materials like logs.

Does it come with a storage bag?

No, the FDT3 does not include a storage bag, but its fold-down design makes it easy to hang on wall hooks.

What are the dimensions when folded?

The folded dimensions are 680 x 105 x 840mm.

Is the steel frame powder-coated?

Yes, the steel is finished with a durable coating to help protect against minor scratches and corrosion.

How many trestles do I need for a long project?

For boards longer than 1.5 meters, it is recommended to use at least two trestles to ensure even weight distribution.

Troubleshooting

Height adjustment mechanism is stiff.

Clear any accumulated sawdust or debris from the telescopic tubes and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the adjustment pins.

Trestle feels unstable on uneven ground.

Ensure all four legs are fully locked in the open position; if the floor is significantly uneven, use a thin shim under one leg to stabilize the base.

End stops are difficult to pivot.

Check the pivot bolt and loosen slightly if overtightened, or apply a drop of machine oil to the hinge point.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Height adjustable from 800mm to 1300mm
  • Foldable design for compact storage
  • Sturdy steel construction
  • Integrated end stops for workpiece security
  • Lightweight at only 6kg for easy portability

Cons

  • 200kg maximum weight limit may be insufficient for heavy steel beams
  • Single trestle configuration requires multiple units for very long boards
  • Not intended for permanent outdoor storage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: simply pull the legs outward until they lock into the desired position. To adjust height, actuate the locking pins and slide the inner support tube to your preferred setting. Regarding compatibility, this trestle works with most standard power tools and is excellent for supporting workbenches or sawhorses. To ensure longevity, keep the locking mechanism free of sawdust and debris. Wipe down the steel surface with a dry cloth after use, and store in a dry, covered area to prevent surface rust, particularly if the workshop is prone to humidity.
