New Version | Procaster Workbench Caster Kit | 920lbs Capacity | Pack of 4 | Heavy Duty Steel and Wheels | Lift Easily Your Workbench, Equipment

I installed these casters on my homemade workbench, my bench its small 24" x 48", but it is solidly constructed with 2 x 4, so it is on the heavy side.On the bench, I have an eight-inch wheel grinder, a vise grip, and a heavy drill press, all which are permanently attached to the bench.Plus whatever I decided to place on top, such as a few days ago, where it had on top, two disk brakes, two brake calipers, and few wrenches, I am explaining these so you have an idea of how much weight those wheels will need to support.With all of that weigh on top, I am able to move my bench around the garage without any trouble. The wheels glide smoothly over the concrete floor.Of course, after I move the bench around, I immediately release the wheels, so the bench stays firmly in place to avoid an accident.I am not having issues with the wheels holding that much weight, I have forgotten to release them on a few occasions, nevertheless I recommend that you do not leave them permanently carrying too much weight, as eventually, it could affect the roundness of the wheels, and ending in a jumping bench every time it's moved.Also, these casters do not have locking wheels (which will be redundant, as there is no need for it), it is advised for safety reason to release them while not in use.Installation requires you be precise with your measurements, especially if you are attaching them to wood legs. Otherwise one may end with an unstable bench.In the pictures, you will see one wheel with the lever push down and the other one is released, while in the release position the caster will rest on the floor without carrying any weight, the bench legs are the ones carrying all the weigh.When the wheels are set up as per the instructions, they lift the bench by about 3/8" (10 mm), so definitely these casters are for fairly smooth floors, they may not work as well on floors with bumps or holes.I hope that you like this review.

I attached these casters to the outer four 4X4 legs on a very heavy duty six legged 8' X 32" work bench with the included 16 screws. Don't even think about fitting the casters to the legs when the table is upright unless you're comfortable marking the holes when your head is on the floor. Just tip up the side you're measuring and follow the kind of lousy instruction sheet's screw hole measurements to the letter. It's important to attach each caster at the same height on all four legs. My workbench has several heavy tools installed plus cases of smaller tools that add up to a few hundred pounds, and the casters pick up the table easily for movement. My only gripe is when I move the table back in place against a wall, two of the casters have their lift pedals under the table, and it's a pain to rotate them 180 degrees by hand so I can easily access all petals for the next move. I give them a two thumbs up, and recommend them to anyone who has a heavy table you need to move around. I never leave the casters in a lift condition when the table is parked.

I got these to make my new (very heavy) workbench movable. On the basis of one day's use, I'd rate these a 4++. The parts are sturdy, the levers work smoothly, and the bench rolls well on my concrete garage floor. There is a small tweak I would alert buyers to. Double check your layout before drilling the holes for the screws. I'm not 100% sure, but I think the original measurements are metric. I found that the spacing they tell you to use (2" and 4-3/4" from the bottom) are a little off from each other. Also, when I installed the first two on one side at the 2" from the bottom measurement left the wheel just grazing the floor. On the second side I moved everything up by 1/8" and the upper measurement by another 1/32" (so 2-1/4" and 4-29/32" from the bottom). This lifted the leg by about 5/8" off the ground, which was good for me.

These are great workshop casters. I have the "old style" ones on several tables in my shop. This is my first purchase of the "new style" and they are as well constructed as the previous version. There is one problem, though. They are supplied with mounting screws, and I had a problem with the heads stripping out. Lo and behold, If ound that they are not Phillips-head screws as they look to be; they are Japan Industry Standard (JIS)-head #2 screws. JIS hardware looks superficially like Phillips-heads, but they are not. Very close, but a US Phillips screwdriver will not fit well. I switched to a JIS #2 driver, which I luckily have for the hardware on my Toyotas, and the mounting with the supplied screws was quick and easy. My caster set came with 26 screws, so there were extras to replace the couple that I ruined with my Phillips driver. UPDATE. I now have bought and installed a second set of these, and they are still excellent movers of heavy benches. But, the issue with the supplied installation screws remains. The JIS screws were not a one time issue.ANOTHER UPDATE - just bought and installed a third set. Same screw head problem, so this time I used my own hex drive screws and mounting was much, much easier. I did find another problem. The directions call for drilling holes 2 inches and 4-3/4 inches from the bottom of the leg. This is 1/16 inch off from the actual distance in the mounting plate. You will find drilling at 2 inches and 4-11/16 inches will make mounting far easier. Once mounted, they function well.
