Looking for Quality Casters

[gsdvorak]

This is the caster I use. Looks like the company I ordered from no longer carries Colson. Found this company that handles them.

Tom,
I looked on this website and I could not find a "fixed" version of the 3 1/2" wheel.  Does that exist?  I had in mind that I should only use two swivel casters and then two fixed on my cabinets.  Is that correct or would 4 swivel be OK?

Thanks

I use 4 swivels. Allows great mobility, easily park it against a wall and in the trailer.

Tom,
I'm looking for casters for an MFT cart- would these Colson casters, when locked, have enough 'grip' to a concrete floor where they won't slide?  Being poly, I would think so but wanted to confirm with you since you have used them.  My shop floor is pretty smooth concrete.

Thanks!
Gerald

Lock a stack and gave it a shove. The wheels held well to the pavement. My floor is the average finish for a garage.

Tom

Great- Thanks Tom!  I'm going to order a set and I'll post a picture of the cart when done.

Regards,
Gerald

how are the stacked shelves locked together? or are they just stacked?

treesner - I'm not Tom but if you look close in the pics, there are four holes in the top. So probably bolted together.
