Default Caters Retractable

Hello All,

While we are discussing workbenches. Has anyone come up with a reasonably strong retractable caster system for a work bench?

I came across this clip on YouTube where a bloke used two caravan jacks - one per end of the workbench. There is a big winding handle to wind a beam up and down. I think it is a lot of faith being applied to a bit of timber. Some nice thick walled steel hollow section would inspire more confidence for me.

I have thought about a mounting system that can be fixed via lynch and clevis pins so it can be anchored to the ground when used as a work bench.Then un-pinned when it needs to be shifted elsewhere.

YouTube Clip accessed 13th January 2020 from, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V29wVeMNQDw

Kind regards
Lionel
