Currently Building an Aluminum Cart, any aluminum casters?

admin

Are these hard to find?  Where are you guys buying them?  I'm new to sourcing metal and materials so I need some guidance.  Thanks!MM211 w/Spoolmate 100
Reply:Just buy some that bolt on.I've never seen aluminum casters but I've never looked either. I made a aluminum cart and I just bought some steel base casters that bolted on.

Reply:so why do you need aluminum casters?welding isn't always the right way to fasten parts together lolWelding/Fab Pics: www.UtahWeld.com
Reply:So what I ended up doing is buying casters and bolting them to aluminum plates, individually.  I supported the plates with small pieces.  Turned out well, I think.  lol.  Just need to add a handle and a cage for the gas.  It only weighs 10lbs but is supporting around 150+!  Awesome!!!!  I love itMM211 w/Spoolmate 100
