Welcome to the wonderful world of casters
My work is basically a travelling circus of construction crew. Everything is temporary, and on wheels, including the giant table saws. I've seen a variety of Casters, and learned the value of them. Now my goal is to have everything in my garage on wheels as well.
There's a million different types of casters out there, and anything decent is not cheap. Even the HF ones, which surprisingly are not terrible, are relatively spendy.
I have come to the conclusion I need two main types of casters, ones that steer easy for short distances and tight turns in the garage, and larger, more stable ones for carts and things that will be rolling across the yard and driveway. Both need to handle a lot of weight
I have noticed the 6" or bigger poly on steel casters would be good for the latter, as they dont steer as easy but that would actually help stability if all four swivel, and handle rough floors better.
I'm thinking 4" domed full poly casters for stuff in the shop. they steer nice, changing direction easily, even when loaded down.
What are your thoughts and opinions on casters? and pics if you got em....
