Adjustable trestles made in the West Midlands, powder-coated orange for durability, with height range 500mm–780mm and width 940mm. Each trestle is tested to BS1139 part 4 with an SWL of 400kg and weighs 8kg.
Secure Working Platform – With purpose-designed adjustable pins
Height adjustment is achieved using purpose-designed pins that locate the legs in their fully open position, nails or rebar must not be used for adjustment. The pinned system prevents legs from moving or closing under load.
Stable set-ups reduce wobble and accident risk, making boards safe for painting, plastering and finishing tasks. Quick, repeatable adjustments save time when changing working heights between jobs.
Reliable Load Support – Thanks to BS1139 part 4 tested construction
Trestles have been tested by Lloyds British and conform to BS1139 part 4 with a stated safe working load of 400kg. The design is rated to support heavy boards and typical tool loads used on site.
Users can place substantial worktops and equipment across the trestles without excessive sagging. Confidence in the load rating helps when setting out temporary workbenches or light scaffolding access.
Durable Finish for Site Conditions – With powder-coated orange surface
A powder-coated finish gives a hard-wearing outer layer that resists chipping and surface corrosion from everyday site wear. Manufacture in the West Midlands ensures consistent finishing standards.
Bright, robust coating makes trestles easier to spot on busy sites and simplifies cleaning between jobs. Long-lasting finish means fewer replacements and less downtime over time.
