time savers,
November 8, 2009
By RacecarDriver
from Texas
"I purchased 12 of these to use on my engine stands. I was moving and had no way of lifting the engines out of the bed of a truck. Bolted four of these on each stand and rolled them in to the trailer. Much easier than having to lift each engine into the truck. Once I got to my new home I rolled them out in just a few minutes with no help. I'm looking to purchase 4 more for a fab table."

Steel Wheels,
November 17, 2008
By arenaud
from Southern New hampshire
"I got 2 swivel and 2 rigid steel wheels for my 7oo+lb. lathe and bench. Now It moves easy to clean around the back. With the existing concrete floor it 's just perfect. I advise greasing them before installing. I didn't see any grease on the axles when inspected out of the box."

Steel Caster,

By Bob1001
from New Jersey
"I am using 32 of these casters on heavy duty steel shelving. They allow for easy movement of the shelving, without first unloading the shelf. I did a lot of research looking for a high quality item at a reasonable price. These casters are simply the best and the price is a bargain"

By Gregorio
"We ordered these recently and were concerned about the 1,000-lb limit as we needed to use them to their full extent. Well, we got them in a very timely manner and put them to the 1,000lb test, pushed their limit, and they passed the test with flying colors! Great work!"

"I used these casters to make two cradles to move a 38 Buick around. The wheels were being reconditioned, and thus were not on it.
Worked like a charm.

great product,
January 14, 2008
By Mike21
from Jacksonville, FL
"Best price for the strength!!!!
I mounted these casters under my 20kw diesel generator which weighs about 2500 pounds. It now moves around quite easily on the concrete floor.
These casters are much stronger than I needed, but for the price they were the best choice.

Nice wheels,
October 15, 2007
By KellyMO
from Columbia, MO
"These caster wheels are very well built. ALL metal construction! There are grease fittings for the axle but you have to squirt grease into the swivel bearings yourself......no big deal. I needed 2 for my engine hoist but I bought 4 just to have a couple of spares. These might be strong enough that I'll never need the spares."

By MBYZ400
from Lansing, Mi
"GREAT WHEELS, FOR THE PRICE. NO WELDING REQUIRED, Not sure why that is in the description. Might mean, that to be 1000 lb load rated, they need to be welded to something? Not sure? The wheels come fully assembled, with grease fittings on the axles and ball bearing swivels. , great quality!!!! A++++++"
