You get what you pay for

Picture is misleading. It shows a finished one Wheel. The wheel itself is sintered iron (looks like cast iron but is easier to manufacture) and is painted gray. This brings with it all the pitfalls of head casting, chief among them being dimensional variability. The holes get bigger and smaller. The axle consists of one Bolt and a nut - a plus as you can take them apart and add 10mm washers to keep the wheel from side to side movement.The downside is that the wheel hole for the axle is not on the wheel is centered and that the side faces of the wheel hub are not parallel to the wheel or each other, so if you run it with shims, you must also clean the surfaces of the hub Also, the wheel bore for the axle is larger than the axle, e.g nd even after shimming you still have some sideplay. On the positive side, the load is higher than similar sized plastic wheels - the reason I bought them. You can also use more of these and stack them in a row to increase your total load capacity while maintaining maneuverability. Unfortunately I couldn't find a better 2" fixed wheel with the same load capacity, even if I wanted to pay more.

Pros
  • 1-1/2" x 2-1/2" industrial top plate with 2-1/2" gap
Cons
  • So far so good
