CounterBalance Workstation Bracket, 8×12, Stainless Steel, US-Made

Description

The CounterBalance 8×12 workstation bracket gives fabricators and installers a load-rated mounting point for floating countertops, workbenches, and other overhang surfaces that need support without visible legs or braces underneath. Built in stainless steel for washdown and moisture-prone settings, this bracket attaches to load-bearing studs and is rated to support an overhang extending up to 6 inches beyond the bracket’s own length, per standard industry recommendations for floating-surface hardware.

Why Buyers Choose This 8×12 Workstation Bracket

Countertop fabricators, cabinet shops, and facility maintenance crews reach for a CounterBalance bracket when a floating surface needs real structural support without a visible leg or corbel breaking up the look underneath. The 8×12 size fits smaller runs, such as a bathroom vanity overhang, a compact desk return, or an ADA-compliant workstation where clearance below the surface matters. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in kitchen, bath, and outdoor-adjacent installs where a plated steel bracket would eventually show surface rust, which makes this a common pick for wet-area vanities and commercial washdown stations alike. Because the bracket bears the load from below rather than from a leg or corbel at the front edge, the finished install keeps the area underneath open for seating, storage, or code-required clearance.

Installation follows standard stud-mount practice: locate and mark the load-bearing studs behind the finished wall, secure the bracket to the studs with fasteners sized for the load, then set the countertop or work surface on top and fasten down per the surface manufacturer’s guidance.
