Hi all
I am in the process of putting a workbench together, I am now at the point now where I am wondering how I am going to get this bench moved around the workshop as going by my calculations it is going to weigh about 380kg or so. This is with a frame made out of 60x60x6.3mm (got cheap out of work) with a 2.5x1.25m x 5mm plate on top.
I was thinking of getting some braked swivel castors so I could try and move the bench about on my own. What I am wondering is does anyone of any idea of a detail to connect the castors to the legs, I have attached a captive nut idea that I think could work but I don’t know if it is possible or what size of threaded bar to use. The threaded bar is welded to the 6mm plate that eventually bolts to the castor plate.
I have my eye on a set of castors that can carry a combined weight of 800kg.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks
Stevie
