Default Looking for Workbench Help

I have been searching the web for a set of steel legs to build a mobile
workbench with little to no success. I am turning to the collective
knowledge of this group assuming that someone else on the planet has had the
need for a mobile workbench.

While my immediate uses will be a sanding and finishing area, I can see it
also being used with my benchtop planer and or another type of stationary
tool in the future.

I would prefer just the frame, legs that can accept casters, and possibly
either angles for lower shelf or just steel stringers to keep it ridgid and
steel frame for top support, basically the bench minus the working and shelf
surfaces.

Has anyone else tried looking for something like this??

While I want it to be somewhere in the meduim to heavy duty range keeping
away from the flex steel frames that are coming out of China.

Mobility is absolute, as I have all of my equipment in an open shop area at
work and although it has not happened, yet, I may have to move it out of the
way at some point. All my stationary equipment are on mobile stands for this
purpose, and currently my boss has no problem with me taking over this area
as long as it remains mobile.

Check with Grainger or a similar industrial supply outfit that deals
with materials handling equipment. Might take a while to wade through
all the options they present but well worth the look. Grainger I know
has many leg sets, and the tops to go with them.
