Free industrial workbench score

[K4luf]

This was a barn find. It came from the tool room of a local factory that closed down. It had 2x6's and tongue and groove with a heavy steel plate for a top. The frame is all c channel and angle iron. The drawers are on ball bearing rollers. The tongue and groove is shot so I removed it along with the storage bins on the back which were obviously an add on somewhere over the years. I plan on cleaning it up and painting it red/black to match my Craftsman boxes then put some casters on it so I can use it as a roll around work bench.

Not sure, but it's enough to squat the back of my F-150 pretty good. We tried loading it with a three point hitch mounted boom on an 8N Ford tractor but it wouldn't lift it. We ended up standing it on one end then backing the truck under it and then picked up the other end and slid it into the truck.
