iDEAL PTDT-1000: 2.38mm steel rated for 1,000 lbs, with the drain built in

This is the tear-down bench for a shop that already owns a parts washer. Everything that would have been spent on a second cleaning tank has gone into the deck instead: 2.38mm steel with a 1,000 lbs support capacity, an integrated table drain feeding a 3 gallon catch basin, and a lockable storage drawer. It ships as a bolt-together kit at 154 lbs.

The distinction is worth making because a tear-down table is not a workbench with a lip. It is a surface designed to have a wet, dirty, heavy assembly put on it and then taken to pieces, with the fluids that come out going somewhere planned rather than onto the floor.

Will It Fit?

• Space. 47" wide, 32" deep and 41" tall overall. That height is chosen for standing work — check it against the bench you currently strip parts on.
• Floor. 4" swivel poly casters, two of them locking. Sound, sealed concrete rolls; broken or badly pitted concrete is what stops casters of that diameter.
• Power. None required. There is nothing electrical on this table, which also means nothing to site near an outlet.
• Assembly and delivery. 154 lbs, shipped as several pieces, bolt-together. Allow build time on arrival and somewhere to lay the parts out.

Checking your access route, floor and working height is the customer's responsibility — but send us the constraint and we will tell you whether it clears.

Where the fluid goes

The drain and catch basin are integrated into the table rather than added underneath it, and the basin holds 3 gallons. That matters more than the number suggests. Draining a gearbox or a sump on a bench that was not designed for it means a tray, a rag and a floor that gets mopped; a table with a designed fluid path means the same job leaves nothing to clean up, and the basin is emptied deliberately rather than discovered full. A single planned drain point is also what makes correct disposal straightforward.

Steel thickness is the specification that decides everything else

2.38mm steel and a 1,000 lbs rating are what let you land a heavy assembly and then work on it. A deck that flexes under the part transfers every bit of your effort into the bench instead of into the fastener, and a rolling table that flexes will eventually go out of square. Heavy Duty Steel Construction is the manufacturer's phrase; the thickness figure is what makes it checkable, which is why it is quoted here rather than the adjective.

Drawer, casters and the bolt-together build

The storage drawer locks, so the pullers, sockets and special tools for the job in progress stay with the job. The 4" swivel poly casters roll the loaded table between bays, and two of them lock so it holds still when the work needs both hands and a breaker bar. The bolt-together assembly is worth knowing about in advance: it keeps the freight cost and the crate size down, and it means the table can be taken apart again if it ever has to move through a narrow door.

Perfect For

• Shops that already have a parts washer and need the bench, not a second cleaning station.
• Engine and transmission rebuilders stripping heavy assemblies to a schedule.
• Fleet and plant maintenance handling wet, dirty components that need a designed drain rather than a tray.
• Restoration and race workshops where the same table serves as strip-down bench and staging surface.

What's in the Box

Per this product's feature list: the heavy-duty steel table with an integrated drain and catch basin, a lockable storage drawer, and 4" swivel poly casters with two locking, supplied as an easy bolt-together assembly with a powder-coat finish. No solvent, tooling or washer is included — the washer-equipped version of this table is a separate model. Ask us if you want the packing contents confirmed in writing before ordering.

Specifications

On listings and approvals, stated plainly

The published data for this table claims no third-party listing or approval. There is nothing electrical on it, so the question is narrower than it would be for a powered unit — but if you intend to use it with solvents, the rules that apply to solvent handling and disposal on your premises are worth confirming, because they attach to the fluid rather than to the bench.

Shipping and delivery

Freight is quoted live at checkout for the lower 48 states. This ships crated, in multiple pieces, on a freight carrier — so plan to unload it or take collection from the carrier's terminal instead, expect a residential fee on a home delivery, and inspect before you sign. Count the pieces against the paperwork and note anything damaged or missing on the delivery receipt at the time of delivery; a signed clean receipt is very hard to reopen later.

Warranty

We publish iDEAL's claims route rather than quoting a term ourselves, and we will confirm the current warranty in writing on request before you order. If a component fails, open the claim before you take anything apart. A drain fitting, a drawer slide or a caster is assessed in the state it failed in, and a part already stripped for a repair attempt is one a warranty department can no longer judge.
