Description
The 12 inch workstation bracket supports floating counters, workbenches, desks, shelves, and accessible work surfaces with a compact steel frame. This CounterBalance configuration measures 12 x 12 inches and uses a textured black powder coat for a finished appearance. Its reversible profile gives installers flexibility when orienting the support, while multiple mounting holes provide practical fastening locations along the wall side and work-surface side. The bracket is designed to attach to load-bearing studs so the supported surface can transfer loads into the wall structure.
Workstation and Countertop Applications
This bracket fits residential, commercial, office, garage, retail, and hospitality projects that need open knee space or a clean floating look. Typical uses include ADA counters, computer stations, stone or solid-surface worktops, utility shelves, service counters, and shop workbenches. A 12 inch arm is intended for work surfaces and overhangs sized to the bracket geometry. The product family guidance allows the supported overhang to extend up to 6 inches beyond the bracket length when the complete installation follows applicable project requirements. Layout, spacing, substrate condition, fasteners, and the work-surface material all affect final performance.
Installation Planning
Locate sound load-bearing studs or engineered blocking before setting the bracket pattern. Use mounting hardware selected for the framing material and calculated load. Mounting hardware is not part of the bracket specification, so the installer should confirm screw or bolt diameter, embedment, edge distance, and corrosion resistance. Keep the bracket level and square, then verify that the top arm makes full contact with the work surface. Larger workstation bracket sizes include a corner notch for wall-cleat and wire-run clearance. Confirm whether that feature is required for the specific layout before drilling.
