Solid Inline - Material Handling Products

I used these (2) and their 2 swiveling sisters to build a dolly to move a 1400 lb planer no problem the wheels are big enough to move over rough terrain or small obstacles, they all performed very well.

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Modern

WORKHORSE WHEEL: Goods Handling

Heavy Duty Wheel weighs approximately 7 pounds. I used two swivel (front) and two fixed (rear) 8" wheels as a replacement for my Rubbermaid work cart, which worked perfectly. The holes matched perfectly. You will serve forever.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Protection

Very Heavy Duty Casters

I do my own milling of wood for woodworking trees (large mature oaks) in the yard and I needed a way to transport a 1500 pound log from my garage to my workshop. I needed something strong so I bought these wheels and welded them to a 2x2.25 square tube frame. The wheels held up with no problem moving the log. While you're satisfied, let's see how they hold up after repeated use.

Pros
  • GOLS Certified
Cons
  • No Power

They are good but wear out quickly.

I use these for our high school marching band wagon. I have four of these in the corners and two pneumatic ones in the middle. You have to carry 500 pounds. everyone, and I don't get close to giving them that much importance. I was fortunate to get a season with them before they wore out completely and needed replacing. So I end up doing a few sets a year.

Pros
  • Great value
Cons
  • Traded in

Heavy but what you need for heavy use (not for my application though)

This is a well built reel. I bought one to convert my two wheel golf cart into a three wheel (shhh, don't tell anyone). They want $50 for a two wheel cart and $150 to $200 for what appears to be the same with a third wheel. and washers to put this wheel down. Now my 2 wheel cart works like a 3 wheel cart but without brakes. It's normal, I just have to be careful when I'm on a hill or slope.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • I have no particular complaints about it, everything is fine

very happy with the wheel but one problem

Ordered a set of 4, 2 ribbed and 2 wheels. 1 wheel wobbles, and the point isn't that it's loose. The rim itself is bent. Also, I think it will be a good steering wheel for what I paid for it. Today I was lubricating rollers and the grease didn't even get into the bearings, I had to pack it by hand with a sandwich bag and my fingers. All the grease gun did was apply grease to the bearings and never touch the wheels. For almost $100 for a set I am very disappointed

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
