Traveling Workbench

Traveling Workbench FARM SHOP Handy Hints 30-2-38 Here's an idea we spotted at a recent farm show in England. It's a portable workbench that you can take out to the field to work on machinery. The GenBench is 37 in. high with an 8 1/2 by 4-ft. working area. It weighs 1,411 lbs. empty and up to 1 1/2 tons full. It mounts on a front or rear 3-pt. hitch and has pallet tine slots underneath so forklifts can haul it. The bench includes different-sized storage compartments to hold a welder, pto generator, and 17 plastic trays for other tools. Wrenches hang on the door racks which lock to deter theft. "It can reduce breakdown costs and down time, saving you money," says inventor Brian Matthews. "An assortment of trays and fittings hold a wide variety of tools, parts and fixings - everything you need to fix equipment in the field." You can also use it as your primary workbench back in the shop. Matthews points out that the GenBench could also be used to run a sideline welding and equipment repair business.
