Editorial Review:
Totally adjustable mobile shop base lets you move your tools without being locked into a fixed size! Expands from 12in. x 12in. to a 36in. x 36in. square or a 20in. x 52in. rectangle, or anything in between. Four-wheel design. Limited lifetime warranty. Load Capacity (lbs.): 400, Base L x W (in.): Adjustable, Rollers (qty.): 4
If you're like us, you've crammed more tools into your workshop than can really fit. Luckily, an HTC universal mobile base (or two) can make a world of difference. The base is sturdy and easy to assemble, plus--unlike any other mobile base on the market--it adjusts to fit virtually any large woodworking machine, forming squares from 12 by 12 to 36 by 36 inches and rectangles as big as 20 by 52 inches. Holes at 1-inch increments let you choose any shape in between, and wheels at all four corners make it easy to maneuver. Roll one tool in; roll another tool out. Moving equipment around a crowded shop has never been this easy. --Jon Groebner

Great piece of equipment Perfect for my needs. I have a smallish garage and this allows for me to store my tools along the outer wall and pull them into the center when I need them. I have an older version that I bought a few years ago at Sears and this is by far easier to set up and use. It also feels more stought than the older version. I would recommend this unit without reservation to anyone looking to make their shoptools more mobile.
HTC SELECTION AND SETUP I bought five of these after reading several reviews. One box was short of the hex bolts while having the correct number of nuts. The overall results are good. Easy to adjust for the size of each tool. After I did the first base for the tool that weighted the least, I was faced with the task of trying to lift the tool onto the mobile base. I found that some tools can be loaded my one person by two methods. If you can tip one end of the tool you can slide the assembled base under that end then work the... more info
HTC and Jet Universal Bases go head to head I recently decided to put four of my tools on mobile bases. Because of the different sizes of the tools, I ended up buying two from Jet (Jet 708118 JMB-UMB Universal Mobile Base) and two from HTC (HTC2000 Universal Mobile Base). Since all four showed up at the same time, I was in a position to make a head-to-head comparison of them, and decided to write about it. As a result, you'll find this same review under both the Jet and the HTC Universal Base listings. Upon Arrival: All four bases were... more info
