Bumper Holding Trestle FMT200

Bumper Holding Trestle FMT200 — Prep, Paint, and Fit Bumpers with Ease

The FMT200 bumper holding trestle gives you a wide, stable platform specifically designed for supporting bumpers throughout the repair process. Whether you are sanding, priming, painting, or fitting a bumper back onto the vehicle, this trestle holds it securely at a comfortable working height. As a result, you get better access to the full surface and produce a higher-quality finish.

Why Use a Dedicated Bumper Trestle?

Bumpers are awkward to handle. They are wide, flexible, and easily scratched if balanced on general-purpose stands or leaned against walls. In contrast, the FMT200 is purpose-built with a 145 cm width that supports the full span of most front and rear bumpers. This means the bumper sits flat and stable, so you can work confidently without it rocking or sliding. Additionally, because the trestle is height-adjustable, you can set it to the exact level that suits your working posture — reducing fatigue during long prep sessions.

Key Features of the FMT200

• 145 cm width — wide enough to support front and rear bumpers from cars, SUVs, and light commercial vehicles across their full span.
• Height adjustable — set the trestle to the working height that suits you, so you can prep and paint without bending or stretching.
• 50 cm depth — provides a stable base that prevents the trestle from tipping, even with heavier bumpers.
• 1 metre high — a comfortable default height for standing work, with adjustment available from there.
• 40 kg safe working load — more than sufficient for standard plastic and composite bumpers.
• Robust construction — built to handle daily use in a busy bodyshop environment.

Ideal Applications

The FMT200 is ideal for collision repair centres, bodyshops, and smart repair specialists who regularly remove, prep, and refit bumpers. Use it at the prep bay for sanding and masking, then move the bumper to the spray booth for priming and painting. After the finish has cured, the trestle also works well as a fitting aid — hold the bumper at vehicle height while you align clips and fasteners.

For workshops that handle high volumes of bumper repairs, having two or more trestles on hand keeps the workflow moving. One bumper can cure on a trestle while you prep the next.

How It Compares

If you also need a general-purpose panel support, consider pairing the FMT200 with the Workshop Trestle FMT207006, which handles bonnets, doors, tailgates, and wings. Together, they cover virtually every loose panel in a typical bodyshop repair. Alternatively, for a folding bumper stand option, see the Folding Bumper Stand MK54.
