Lightweight folding 8 trestle set with storage & transport rack

Drawing Number: AD-2946-2025-12-1

Our customer asked us to build a set of 8 folding trestles with a storage/transport rack.

 

Scope

This set of lightweight foldable trestles – Designed to support loads of up to 100KG each, were ordered by one of our motorsport customers to assist with light-weight support jobs (such as body panels, wings etc) at the factory or track. They feature an adjustable height beam, enabling ergonomic positioning of parts for maintenance and repair.

The trolley / rack is designed to support all 8 trestles when folded, enabling convenient storage and transport on-site and around the pits/paddock.

– Adjustable height
– Folding legs
– Light weight
– Retractable end-stops
– Replaceable non-slip rubberised top
– Convenient wheeled storage rack
– Powder coated

Solution

Project REF: AD-2946-2025-12-1 / 13569-P1

🏁 1. Portability & Easy Transport

  • Lightweight construction  makes them easy to carry.

  • Foldable design fits easily in vans, trailers, or support vehicles.

  • Ideal for teams that travel frequently between circuits.

Why it matters in motorsport: Space in transporters is limited, and quick load-in/load-out saves time during race weekends.


⚡ 2. Fast Setup & Pack Down

  • Simple folding mechanisms allow rapid deployment.

  • No complex tools required.

  • Can be set up by one person.

Why it matters: Time in the paddock is critical. Quick setup means more time for car prep and less time managing equipment.


🛠 3. Versatile Work Support

They can be used for:

  • Temporary workbenches (with a board on top)

  • Supporting body panels or wings

  • Holding tyres during prep

  • Mounting setup platforms

  • Supporting car parts during repairs

Why it matters: Motorsport environments demand flexible, multi-use equipment.


🧰 4. Space Efficiency

  • Fold flat for storage.

  • Stack easily in trucks or garages.

  • Minimal footprint when not in use.

Why it matters: Paddock space is often tight, especially at smaller circuits.
