Question and Answers

Why is the bench limited to 5kg stowage capacity?
The bench geometry and counterbalance are designed to work within comfortable limits of effort by the user.  However, this product is not suitable for people with physical infirmities that inhibit lifting.

What's the best place to site the bench?
The bench should be sited away from areas of pedestrian and vehicular traffic, where the stabilisers may be a trip hazard or get damaged.  An ideal location is often at the end of a garage or workshop opposite the entrance.

Can I add the tool stowage panel later?
Yes, the panel and shelves can be added at any time and will be supplied with the required fixings.  However, to get the most benefit from your bench you may want to order straight away.

How much weight will the bench support?
The bench has a working capacity of 125 kg evenly distributed across the worktop.  Since this is a very heavy load, you should always assess the working environment and activity you are undertaking for safety.
How uneven can the floor be?
The stabilisers can be adjusted to accommodate floor variations in level up to 5mm, but the floor surface should be smooth within 2.5mm roughness. 

Is the bench suitable for industrial use?
The bench is designed for domestic use, though light industrial use may not be a problem.  Please contact us to discuss.

Can I place the bench next to other cabinets?
The bench worktop overlaps the frame at each end, so it can be placed next to cabinets or side walls with only a small clearance required.  To increase the working area, multiple benches can be positioned next to each other.

Can I drill holes in the worktop
The specified load for the worktop is based on calculation and test.  Adding holes will reduce the load capacity and any modifications to the worktop or bench will invalidate the product warranty.
