Workbench Showdown: 72×32 vs 72×30 – Which One Packs the Best Value?

When every dollar counts in a warehouse budget, the difference between good and great is often measured in inches and dollars. Today, we’re pitting two heavy-duty packing tables head-to-head:

• 4Dock’s 72" × 32" Economy Workbench
• ULINE’s 72" × 30" Industrial Packing Table

1. The Tale of the Tape

2. Why the Extra 2 Inches Matter

Two inches of depth may seem trivial—until you’re trying to fit:

• A 28" shipping scale and a label printer side-by-side.
• A row of 12" cartons plus an open carton for packing slips.
• A laptop, scanner, and loose fill dispenser without elbow wars.

That 2" bump gives you 6.7 % more usable surface—essentially a free 4" × 32" bonus shelf along the back edge.

3. Capacity: 3,000 lbs vs 500 lbs

ULINE’s 500-lb rating is fine for light packing.4Dock’s 3,000-lb rating means you can:

• Drop a loaded pallet jack on it without flinching.
• Stack 50-lb boxes six high and still have headroom.
• Use the same table for assembly and temporary storage during peak season.

4. Build & Ergonomics

• 4Dock: Continuous-height crank (31"-37")—no preset holes, no “close-but-not-quite” height.
• ULINE: Fixed 1½" increments—if 34" isn’t in the ladder, you’re stuck at 33" or 35½".
• 4Dock’s steel frame is welded and gusseted; ULINE’s is bolt-and-slot construction that can loosen under vibration.

conclusion

If you need a no-excuses, budget-smart workbench that out-specs and under-prices the market leader, the 4Dock 72×32 is the clear winner. More surface, more strength, more flexibility—all for up to $90 less per table.
