According to Statista and Modern Materials Handling’s 2024 reader survey (N = 1,243), U.S. online sales of industrial tables ≥72" reached $737 million last year.
65 % of buyers chose modular / build-your-own systems (Amazon Business, Zoro, 4Dock, WebstaurantStore).
35 % chose all-in-one, fixed-configuration tables (Grainger, McMaster-Carr, Uline).
Modular tables are growing +11 % YoY, while fixed tables remain flat at +2 %.
Translation: two-thirds of warehouse managers now prefer to start lean and add accessories later.
Today, we’re comparing two 72-inch heavy-hitters:

The Fixed Feast vs. The Modular Buffet
BenchPro: One-Size-Fits-All
- Comes pre-loaded with 12" dividers, back bin rail, roll holder, lower shelf, upper shelf, uprights—whether you need them or not.
- 437 lbs of welded steel arrives via truck, lift-gate fees included in the sticker shock.
- Zero flexibility; if tomorrow’s workflow changes, you’re buying another table.
4Dock: Add What You Need, When You Need It
- 72×36 top + six-leg frame = $340Then bolt-on only what moves the needle:
- Under-shelf for carton storage – $195
- Monitor arm for WMS stations – $49
- Mobile cart (FREE with 5 benches) – normally $150
- Pegboard kit for hand tools – $299
Swap accessories in minutes, not months.
Surface Area & Ergonomics
2 extra inches of depth on the 4Dock (36" vs 30") means:
Room for a 28" scale + 8" label printer side-by-side.
288 sq in of bonus space—about the size of an extra laptop.
Use-Case Bracket
| Scenario | Winner & Why |
| Government bid requiring 5 k rating | BenchPro (spec sheet) |
| Startup 3PL scaling SKUs monthly | 4Dock (modular adds) |
| Lean cell with foot-pedal machines | 4Dock (remove lower shelf) |
| High-budget, no-change environment | BenchPro (turn-key) |
Conclusion
Choose BenchPro if your workflow is carved in stone and budget is no object.
Choose 4Dock if you want maximum value, zero waste, and the freedom to evolve without buying the table twice.
