Ships on a pallet via LTL freight. Made in the USA. Limited Lifetime Warranty on steel structure. SKU: WORKBENCH-48.
A Complete Freestanding Workstation. 2,000 lb Capacity. Color-Matched Pegboard Built In. No Wall Required.
Most workbench setups require two separate purchases — a bench and a wall storage system — plus the wall space and stud layout to mount the pegboard. The Wall Control Freestanding Pegboard Workbench eliminates both constraints: the 48"×30" work surface is supported by a steel frame rated to 2,000 lbs (laboratory tested), and the 48"×32" powder-coated steel pegboard back panel rises directly from the bench frame in your choice of 11 colors — no wall drilling, no stud finding, no drywall damage. The 1.25" HPL worktop is finished with Lotz™ Armor Edge, a sprayed-on polyurea coating that is watertight, bacteria-resistant, and rated for heavy shop use including engine parts, reloading equipment, and heavy machinery. The powder-coated pegboard accepts Wall Control's patented slotted hooks — which lock in place and don't fall out when you pull a tool — and also accepts standard 1/4" round pegs, so existing accessories work here too. Arrives partially assembled on a pallet; attach the legs and back panel and it's ready to work. Made in the USA. Limited Lifetime Warranty on steel structure.
The steel pegboard panels on this workbench use the same Wall Control patented slotted hook system shown in these overviews:

Installation, Placement & Compatibility Considerations
- No Wall Mounting Required: Fully freestanding — no studs, no drywall anchors, no wall damage; suitable for renters, concrete block walls, and flexible shop layouts
- Floor Load: 180 lb unit weight plus up to 2,000 lb load capacity — verify concrete slab or subfloor rating if installing over wood framing
- Footprint Clearance: 48" W × 30" D base footprint — verify bay clearance and aisle width before positioning; 69" total height requires standard ceiling clearance
- Leveling: Position on a flat, level surface — uneven floors may require shimming under legs for worktop stability
- Hook Locking: Slotted hooks lock into position — to reposition, tilt and lift; hooks will not dislodge under normal tool-hanging load
- Round Peg Compatibility: Standard 1/4" round peg accessories fit the pegboard panel holes — existing accessories from other systems are compatible
- Worktop Use: HPL with Lotz™ Armor Edge is watertight and bacteria-resistant — suitable for engine work, fluid handling, reloading, and heavy assembly; avoid sustained abrasive contact that would damage any laminate surface
- Powder-Coat vs. Galvanized: This version offers 11 color options for brand matching or shop aesthetics; choose the Galvanized version for a raw metallic finish with natural corrosion resistance and no paint layer to chip
- Delivery: Ships LTL freight on a pallet — standard delivery is curbside (driver lowers pallet to ground at end of driveway); if you require a lift gate or pallet jack service, specify in the Order Comments at checkout; allow 2–3 weeks for delivery
