Our customer has requested the design, manufacture, and supply of trestles fitted with retractable castors.
Scope:
Each trestle will be equipped with spring-loaded castors, allowing for effortless movement when the trestle is unladen. Once weight is applied, the spring mechanism causes the castors to retract, ensuring that the trestle remains firmly in place and providing a stable work surface.
Additionally, the trestles will be fitted with oak wood sacrificial tops, which will be bolted to the frame. These tops serve as a replaceable working surface, allowing for prolonged usability by replacing the worn-out tops instead of the entire trestle.
Key Benefits:
Enhanced Mobility – The retractable castors make it easy to move and reposition the trestles without requiring heavy lifting. This is especially beneficial in workshops, production areas, and job sites where workstations need to be adjusted frequently.
Automatic Stability – The spring-loaded design ensures that once weight is applied, the castors retract, and the trestle sits firmly on the ground. This eliminates movement during use, providing a secure and stable work surface.
Replaceable Work Surface – The oak wood sacrificial tops allow for extended product life. Instead of replacing the entire trestle, users can simply swap out the worn or damaged oak tops, reducing maintenance costs over time.
Durability and Strength – Oak wood is known for its toughness and resistance to wear, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications. The combination of a sturdy frame and robust sacrificial tops ensures longevity and reliability.
Versatility in Applications – These trestles are suitable for various industries, including woodworking, metal fabrication, assembly lines, and construction sites, where both mobility and stability are essential.
Each trestle to be load tested 10T SWL.
1 pairs of 1000(L) x 1050(H) – 2 trestles total
