Active Aqua 4' x 8' Rolling Bench | Galvanized Steel, 576 lb Load

What the Active Aqua Rolling Bench Frame Actually Is This is a frame, not a table with a surface on it. Peaked roll bars sit across the top and the bench top rides on them, which is what wins back the floor space. Working height is 28 3/4 in and the top can travel 7.35 in to either side. Load rating is 18 lb per square foot, which works out to a 576 lb concentrated maximum when the weight sits evenly across the deck. The whole kit ships at 87 lb, so plan on two people and a clear path to the room. Construction is heavy-duty galvanized steel throughout, which is the right finish for a surface that lives under standing water and nutrient drip. Angled floor anchors come in the box and they are not optional in a room where a loaded bench gets pushed daily. A moulded retainer stops the top tipping as it reaches the end of its travel. The edges are rolled rather than cut, which you notice the first time you reach underneath for a dropped fitting. Nothing about the frame assumes a particular tray brand. Building a 4x8 Rolling Table Row That Only Needs One Aisle The point of a rolling frame is arithmetic. A room of fixed benches needs an aisle beside every bench. A rolling row needs one aisle, pushed open wherever you are working. Frames connect end to end in 8 ft increments, so a long wall becomes one continuous row that still rolls smoothly. Decide the direction of travel before anchoring, because the anchors fix it and moving them later means new holes in the floor. The deck accepts a flood table, expanded metal or wire mesh, and that choice is yours to make separately. A flood table turns the row into a recirculating bench; expanded metal or mesh suits pots and hand watering with runoff to a floor drain. Check the outside dimensions of whatever tray you pair with it. A tray named for its inside measurement runs wider than it sounds and eats into the travel allowance. The matching tray is AALR84B for anyone running a single frame. The honest limit is that this is commercial equipment. One frame in a small room costs the aisle you were trying to save. A fixed stand does the same job for less. Key Features Rolling deck on peaked bars: The top slides aside so one aisle can serve a whole row. 28 3/4 in working height: Standing height for a bench you work at all day. 7.35 in of side travel: Enough to open a walkable gap without unseating the top. 18 lb per square foot: A 576 lb maximum when the load is spread evenly over the deck. Galvanized steel: The finish that survives standing water and nutrient drip underneath. Connects in 8 ft increments: Frames join end to end to build a continuous row. Angled floor anchors included: Fixes the frame so a loaded bench cannot walk across the room. Tip retainer: Keeps the top from lifting at the end of its travel. Tops sold separately: Takes a flood table, expanded metal or wire mesh, your choice.
