Grizzly Casters

I have had good luck with a set of 4" xtra HD casters. For occasional use
you can't go wrong with Grizzly's stuff.

You might want to consider locking casters, but I found that the
5"casters on sale now at harbor freight are a real bargain. Same price
as your grizzly link.

I've installed about 30 of the 5" cast-iron/rubber wheeled casters
from HF over the last few years (for myself and a neighbor). They're
great, and well worth the $2 to $4 price each on sale. I have 4 of
the 4" blue urethane-wheeled casters for a kitchen cart I'll build
someday, and they're much prettier. The 5-inchers are GREAT in the
shop with several hundreds of pounds on them.

Just picked up a dozen of Grizzly casters to be used in making a moving
plant stand..... Stand with dirt pots weight about 80 pounds and it rolls
like a dream on concrete. Only paid $0.95 each.... I would assume that four
of them would easily handle 300-400 pounds.

Here is where I bought them if interested..
