Levrack is a company based in Nebraska with the sole goal of keeping you organized. Everything it makes is heavy-duty and professional grade. Recently, it expanded its lineup to include a few versions of what it calls a “workstation,” or what I know as a “fixture table.” Think of a robust workbench that works like a Festool MFT/table but is made of steel. It has a milled-flat, ³⁄₁₆-inch A36 steel top, with ⅝-inch holes spaced every 4 inches. Though it’s called a 4-foot workstation, the overall dimensions differed from the website specifications. I recommend reaching out to Levrack if you need exact sizing (custom sizing is also available). It’s rated to 2,000 pounds; I haven’t put anywhere near that much weight on it, but it has supported several 100-pound rolls of aluminum effortlessly thanks to the large, heavy-duty, lockable casters that come standard with the table.

The Levrack 4-foot (actual length is 55 inches) workstation has a robust work surface with holes for mounting tools as well as a storage shelf underneath. The table pictured is 30 inches wide; it can be ordered with a solid or perforated top by special request.
I had originally thought that it would be a dedicated fabrication table for us, and it has excelled at that. Surprisingly, though, I’ve used it more frequently for performing small-engine maintenance and repairing tools and equipment. It’s great to be able to securely clamp what you’re working on straight to the table, exactly where you want it, especially a smaller item that requires a large breaker bar.
It’s hard to find anything that I dislike about this table. I do have two issues that are more an opinion or concern than a dislike. For one, it feels too tall. Tuning up a power trowel or a generator on it can be awkward. Even fabricating rebar cages has me considering grabbing a step stool. I hope to find a more permanent home for it at the shop and will probably either remove the casters or put the table to use and fabricate a mount to outboard the casters, similar to what you would find on a cabinet saw. My second concern is about the top thickness. The ³⁄₁₆-inch top has held up great for the few months I’ve owned it; still, most fab tables are substantially thicker—along with, of course, being substantially more expensive.
All in all, it’s a great all-around workstation that could bring value to most professional contractors. The Levrack workstation shown here retails at $1,550 from levrack.com.
