FAQ

Can the base be used on uneven surfaces?

Yes, the four casters distribute weight evenly, allowing stable operation on slightly uneven floors. For highly irregular surfaces, consider using a leveling mat beneath the base.

How do I adjust the size without tools?

The spring‑pin snap mechanism releases with a simple pull, letting you slide the frame sections to the desired width and length. Release the pin to lock the new dimensions in place.

What is the maximum weight for each individual caster?

Each caster is rated to handle up to 150 lb, contributing to the overall 600 lb capacity of the base.

Is assembly required out of the box?

The base arrives partially assembled; the only required step is snapping the frame sections together, which takes less than a minute.

Does the warranty cover wear on the casters?

The one‑year warranty covers manufacturing defects, including caster failures that arise from material flaws, but normal wear from regular use is not included.
