MOAB Heavy Duty Folding Bracket for Countertops & Bench Seats

Meet the Mother of All Brackets (MOAB) — the heavy duty fold-down countertop bracket built to end flimsy, rattling extensions once and for all.

Countertop extensions are essential in nearly every build, adding flexible workspace where you need it most. The problem? Most fold-down brackets are the cheap kind you’d find on Amazon: thin, noisy, and unreliable. They rattle on the road, lack a secure locking system, and leave you guessing how much weight they can really handle.

The MOAB Bracket changes the game.

Built for Strength and Stability

• Heavy-Duty Design — At 3″ wide, one bracket alone supports up to a 20″ wide extension. No more doubling up on weak hardware.

• Gas-Strut Reinforcement — A pressurized gas strut keeps the extension locked down tight while you travel. No bounce. No wiggle. No worries.

• Magnetic Latching System — Dual magnets add an extra layer of security, eliminating the rattle and vibration that plague ordinary brackets.

• Spring-Loaded Release Handle — Large, smooth-operating handle makes setup and stowing effortless, even in tight van spaces.

Serious Capacity

• Rated to hold 95 lb — perfect for countertops, workstations, or even a fold-down jump seat when paired.

• Stress-tested to 270 lb — we pushed it far beyond spec and it held up. (That said, keep it under 95 lb for long-term use.)

Frequently Asked Questions

How much weight can the MOAB bracket hold?

Rated for 95 lb of continuous load per bracket, and stress-tested to 270 lb without failure. For long-term use, keep loads under the 95 lb rating.

How many brackets do I need?

One MOAB supports a countertop extension up to 20" wide. For wider extensions, workstations, or a fold-down bench/jump seat, use a pair — the MOAB Pair is the best-value way to get two.

Will it rattle or bounce while driving?

No. A pressurized gas strut holds the folded extension locked down tight, and dual magnets add a second layer of security — no bounce, no vibration, no squeak on washboard roads.

How does it fold down and lock?

A large spring-loaded release handle operates smoothly even in tight spaces: lift to deploy until the bracket locks flat, pull the handle to fold it away. One-handed operation.

What can I build with it?

Countertop extensions, fold-down desks and workstations, galley extensions, tables, and — paired — fold-down bench seats. It works in vans, RVs, trailers, boats, garages, and tiny homes.

What hardware is included and how does it mount?

Each bracket ships with a complete install kit: 4 carriage bolts, 4 washers, 4 nyloc nuts, and 6 black 3/4" wood screws. Through-bolt it to panels and thin walls or screw it directly into wood framing and cabinetry.

How is this different from cheap folding brackets?

Typical marketplace brackets are thin steel with no locking system — they rattle, sag, and have vague weight ratings. The MOAB is 3" wide with a gas strut, magnetic latching, and a published, tested load rating. One MOAB replaces two flimsy brackets.
