Disappointing bearing capacity for material handling

As my tests showed, these casters did not perform at the level I expected for heavy-duty material handling tasks in an industrial and scientific environment. While the price point may be appealing, the low-bearing capacity and overall quality of these casters left me feeling disappointed and frustrated. .

Pros
  • Affordable price point
Cons
  • Poor bearing capacity for material handling tasks

Great heavy duty casters

Eight of these casters replaced 12 3 inch casters with no polymer bearings on a home built cart. A trolley is used to move a 2000 pound disc. 15 feet, turn 90 degrees and another 30 feet on the cement board floor to install the shield on the tractor. The final mount always requires a few inches of angular movement to bring everything down to the three-point hitch. Everything is moved by one person. The original rig was 20 years old and getting harder and harder to move - I preferred to ignore…

Pros
  • Zinc plated for corrosion protection
Cons
  • Not sure
