Where To Buys Casters???

admin

I'm bidding a job to fabricate custom transport carts, trucks for a local parts distribution warehouse. The carts require 8" dia. casters, swivel and rigid, with a polyurethane wheel. Can anyone recommend a supplier of casters. Excluding Grainger, MSC.

Reply:McMaster-Carr for Domestics or Enco for Imports (good quality) are where I've bought them from in the past.I built a lead blanket cart for a nuclear facility a few months ago and had to get similar 8" casters for it. Used the single wheel, 8" "Alliance" casters from McMaster. Not cheap but they were stout.http://all-a-cart.comWelding Cart Kits and accessories
Reply:I bought my 4" poly casters from Grizzly.  I mounted them on my mill stand as the mill weighs in at around 700 lbs.  They were rated at 300 lbs each.  I also have 1/2" bolts screwed into angle iron & flat 3/16" plates that levels the mill table & keeps the weight off the casters.  I think I paid around $40 for 2 rigid & 2 swivel casters.MarkI haven't always been a nurse........Craftsman 12"x36" LatheEnco G-30B MillHobart Handler 175Lincoln WeldandPower 225 AC/DC G-7 CV/CCAdd a Foot Pedal to a Harbor Freight Chicago Electric 165A DC TIG PapaLion's Gate Build

Reply:Caster and Industrial Supplies, Sun Valley CA.   I've shopped this subject alot.    I get the exact wheel you described in a 6" 1200lb swivel for 12 bucks.   I think the price really starts to climb after 6" though.    This is the place I always use now.     They'll ship them.   818 two, five, two - 0, ate, seventy eight

Reply:I use Colson casters for anything that needs to be heavy duty and last. You can buy direct from them if you are ordering in any qty  (sounds like you have more than one cart to build) and they are very helpful on the phone. Also can find all the product info sizes and even CAD models on their website. I have had them on 800# chassis fixtures for 10 years and nothing more than a nick or two out of the "tire" "Anybody can talk $h!t behind a monitor, I let the quality of my work speak for itself"Lincoln Square Wave 255 and 355 Tig Lincoln 255 Power-Mig w/ spool gun Koike 5 x 10 CNC plasma Hyd-Mech DM-10 bandsaw Ineco QB-76 NC tube bender

Reply:Have you checked northern tool? Their casters are price competitive with some of the specialty shops.http://www.northerntool.com/shop/too...atchallpartialOne potential downside to using them is that you might not always get exactly the same device, if you want to be assured of getting the same thing every time you will want to go with a supplier.Hobart LX235Victor 250 Oxy-Acetylene Rig (welding and cutting)Bobcat 773F-350, 1999, 4x4, 16' 10K# trailerOutdoor Wood Burner - 10 cords/year

Reply:I buy casters from this company, but their shop is 3 miles from my house.http://www.lincocasters.com/
Reply:I'll second Clark Casters.  I've bought from them in bulk, 400 casters at a time.  They will work with you on bulk pricing, and I never had a bad caster from them.

Reply:All are some great choices here, I have bought from some those places listed. On the other hand no one has mentioned total lock casters, they do have their place and their price. But they are of high quality:https://www.sescasters.com/scripts/index.php?area=userNot only locks the wheel but also locks the swivel as well.
Reply:If you want to grab something off the rack, I get mine from Northern Tools.
