Ronlap Workbench Casters Kit 880 Lbs Capacity, 3" Extra Heavy Duty Retractable Casters 4 Pack, Side Mounted Adjustable Table Stepdown Casters

Everything in my workshop except my lathe, is on casters, that includes my Milling Machine. My 44"x80" bench is now that last piece of equipment to has the ability to roll into a new position if needed. I designed and built my workbench in my shop while working on a Star Trek the Next Generation so it can travel to the next location or job site with ease. The bench was always intended to have some sort of caster system but not one where it rested on the wheels all the time. The selection of this casters system was specific to the weight the bench carries (ie; Oak machinist tool chest at 300lbs, surface plate at 60lbs, bend/brake at 60lbs, lower self storage at 200lbs, the bench itself at 80lbs and whatever tooling or work that is on the bench at the time). According to the specifications of the casters, I am at the casters limit, yet when I engage them and roll the bench about the shop, it floats like a breeze. The assembly and installation was super simple but I "did not" use the supplied screws to mount the caster plates to the bench legs. Instead I drilled the legs and used 2 1/2" 1/4-20 bolts with lock nuts to secure the caster plate to the legs. Wood screws always give out eventually, so with the weight of the bench and the load it carries the last thing I would want is a caster to give way while it is moving. The supplied hole pattern guide was very helpful to make a jig for drilling the holes through the leg, so if one uses the supplied screws, the guide is super handy to set the height of the screw pattern every time. The best thing to remember when installing this system is to install the main plate first, then the hinge pieces with the wheels. If you are disabled like I am and are going to use the 24 bolts rather than screws, the best way to install is the assemble the plate to the hinge pieces, mount to the legs of the bench and install the wheels last. Another small tip is to use "CAR WAX" in the areas where the hinge arm meets the caster swing arm to reduce friction. It makes engaging and then retracting the casters much easier. For the fantastic price, and the good construction of this caster system, I was extremely impressed with the quality, easy of installation and the tooling supplied to help attach the actual caster to the swing arm. If you have a bench that you need a caster system for, this is the choice to make.... period. Note: Once the casters are installed and engaged, be sure to check the stability of your bench legs. If a bench leg or legs seem to wiggle/sway where it meet the bench top as it moves, you need to brace the legs with an angle bracket of some sort as I did to avoid the legs collapsing.

Follow the instructions for measurements, I think it's important for fit and performance. I built a stand for my motorcycle to ramp it up a foot higher for maintenance. Works great but it's in the way sometimes. I installed these on all 4 corners and now it's dead solid when they're "up" and it's simple to stomp them down, even with the bike on the rack (probably 600 lbs total), and they pivot/roll super smooth so I can push the whole assembly up against the wall and use my whole garage now. I have had work benches in past garages I struggled to drag around, wish I had found these earlier, would have installed them on all my benches. They do stick out a few inches, so for a bench I'd install them on the inside of the legs, still easy to get to, but less of a trip hazard. for my bike stand I put them on the outside, to add width for stability. Great design, great quality, great instructions, easy install. Buy with confidence.

These work ok but they have a couple of issues. First if lightly loaded, they can go over center in the wrong direction. This causes the wheel to contact the wooden leg and lock the wheel. This is not a huge problem because if loaded they are pretty stable. The second is that when in the wheel down they are slightly tilted and not level. This sometimes causes the caster to swivel making the bench move. On a concrete floor it’s kind of annoying for the bench to move a bit on its own. On the positive side, the wheels are robust and the mount is made of heavy gauge steel. The mounting screws are probably a bit short but seem to work fine. When raising the bench they operate easily and lock into position as they should. Going the other way is a bit difficult but is to be expected. In general they get the job done and are a reasonable price.

Product came with a template and made these very easy to install. I drilled pilot holes and had no trouble with the screws at all. They lock into place easily and move around smooth and easy. The brackets are heavy and seem to be well made. Considering the price, I was pleasantly surprised.

Used these for Eagle Scout project I helped with. Placed on three tier awards platform for high school swim teams. Platform had to handle weight of up to 12 people for team events. Performs flawlessly with the heavy frame platform. They were placed on interior of platform with access by raising platform decks on each end. Foot pedals are wonderful and easy to operate. Makes rolling the heavy platform easy into and out of the swim area for storage or use.

The wheels work very well and were easy to put on (and I am not a wood worker at all!). The best part was that the force required to push the lever down to roll and to release the table back to the ground is minimum and that was very gratifying! Great product - hope it will last for many years to come!

These work great for my table saw bench 6 ft x 6 ft . They handle the weight and spin on a dime.

Pros 1. Very sturdy. 2. Side mount allows you to not waste space under traditional casters. 3. If you have a smooth clean floor I’m sure this would be great. Cons 1. Poor to nonexistent installation instructions. You only get a mounting template. (to be fair it is easy to just use common sense to figure it out) 2. Most frustrating thing. Wheel folds under sometimes when rolling on floor and coming in contact with rough spot or wood chips. See picture. I am using these in a wood shop with floors that are not always clean. 3. You cannot flip wheels up with foot. I have a cart weighing approximately 500 lb. and I have to reach down and pull the up with my have most of the time. Next time I will buy regular poly casters. Updated after a few months of use. I plan on taking these off and installing nice casters. Just frustrating to use. Wheel constantly flips under. Very hard to flip up when in roll around position.

Can't fault it

Used them for moving woodworking machines up to 400 kg

Solide e molto resistenti

Ces roulette sont de facture solide et facile à installer. Je les ai installés sur mon établi afin de pouvoir le déplacer facilement, et le system de levage de ces roue est super pratique. Je vous les recommande !
