Wheels and Casters..Where Do You Find Them?

[stans4]

I've gotten new ones from some of the big box home-improvement joints, the iron ones on my VW engine dolly came from a now-defunct chain. These are supposed to be good for 1000 lbs each. Since they live on a concrete floor, I don't worry about wheel marks. I've seen some large ones at the local True Value, too, solid rubber. Ace had some smaller ones, 3" or so. One of the local tool stores that handles import stuff as well as Dewalt and Milwaukee has a large assortment of iron and rubber-tired castors, all sizes up to 12". Retail prices, though.

Surplus Center in Lincoln, NE had a lot of them in their store, more than made it into their catalog. Just wish they were closer instead of having to limit my trips to when I go through there a couple of times a year.

I go to RH Brown in Seattle and check their discount bins. I like Colson casters for important projects. Darnell would be a second choice.

Thanks Art! I just got done swearing up a storm trying to move my table saw on its flimsy legs with so called casters/wheels on it. I end up dragging the darn thing across the floor because the caster/wheel system is so weak.

I bought some very strong and nice new 4" wheel casters for $24.99 (including shipping) on ebay, they work very well so far. I installed them on my rotary phase converter.

Here they are on ebay:

I can't believe no one's mentioned:

Two thousand five hundred ninety one different types of casters. They carry a mind-boggling array of industrial products.

thanks,
