Classic Fully Height Adjustable Workshop Trestle With 1000mm Rails FMT100

FMT100 – Heavy-Duty Height Adjustable Workshop Trestle

The FMT100 is a robust, fully height adjustable workshop trestle built for daily use in busy bodyshops. With 1000 mm rails and a 160 kg weight capacity, it handles doors, bonnets, wings, and other panels with ease — then folds flat when the job is done.

Why Every Bodyshop Needs a Proper Workshop Trestle

Prepping panels on makeshift supports wastes time and risks damage. A dedicated workshop trestle gives you a stable, adjustable platform that speeds up sanding, filling, and priming work. Because the FMT100 folds away, it never blocks valuable floor space between jobs.

In addition, the sledge-type feet provide excellent stability on flat floors and slide smoothly over oven grids. As a result, you can move the trestle straight into the spray booth or bake oven without swapping equipment or lifting heavy panels off the stand.

Technical Specifications

Typical Applications

The FMT100 workshop trestle is ideal for prepping door skins, bonnets, wings, and bumper supports before painting. Because the height adjusts quickly, technicians can work at a comfortable level regardless of panel size — which means better results and less back strain over a full shift.

Furthermore, the sledge feet make this trestle especially useful inside spray booths and bake ovens. You can slide the loaded trestle directly over floor grids without catching or tipping, so panels stay secure from prep right through to curing.

When the job is finished, simply fold the trestle flat and store it against a wall. This frees up floor space for the next vehicle and keeps the workshop tidy. Many bodyshops keep two or more FMT100 trestles on hand so they can prep multiple panels at once.

Pair With Other Workshop Equipment

For a complete panel handling setup, consider pairing the FMT100 workshop trestle with a mobile panel storage rack such as the FMT1205 (5 panels) or FMT1227 (12 panels). Together, they give you a smooth workflow from storage through prep to painting — with no panel left on the floor.
