Comes with screws seem quite heavy duty used on my large cherry blossom pot as a pot mover still going strong after 1 year outside with a 150kg plus pot on them.
Excellent for the price. I bought a set and used them to make a very solid dolly for moving heavy furniture. They were so good I bought another set.
I have used larger ones, very useful. I wanted a smaller size, these were just right.
Great bought to put on my unit so I could easily move it if I needed to rolls easily with no problems
Brought to make a 2 foot square table and an air compressor box movable, perfect for the job
Very good quality Castor Wheels.
Sold and well made.
Smooth running.
I used these to wheel a shelving unit in and out of the ladder. So far so good strong wheels and a good price
Casters are solid and breaks very good. The casters glide smoothly over flags outside 10/10
Used these to replace wonky cheap plastic rollers on plant pot caddy. My roses are now properly mobile. Only complaint is the screws that came with the product are quite thick and easy to split the wood when attaching the the caddy.
So far these seem up to the task of supporting my home built folding workbench and allow it to move easily around the floor of my garage / workshop. Some of the metal edges are a bit rough and sharp but the wheels roll and swivel readily under the heavy workbench frame plus they lock securely and look to be made of suitably strong steel to hopefully last for a long time, the wheels are small but sturdy and rotate freely even under the weight of my bench, allowing it to fold up for storage .
I built a base for a small greenhouse and wanted to make it moveable and had these in mind from the outset.
They can hold a good amount of weight and still roll easily with the weight on top. Manoeuvrability really depends on the size and weight of the item these are attached to and the surface they are being moved on, but on concrete slabs I had no issues moving the greenhouse about, back and forth, sideways and then parallel parking in its prefer position.
The wheels lock easily with a step down with your toes (with footwear on as you will hurt your feet otherwise), and to unlock you lift the same section up with your toes.
The wheels are also rubber, which I prefer as they are not noisy when moving over dimpled/cracked or uneven slabs/concrete and being rubber, they move more easily over gaps and minor elevation differences in slabs and provide a miniscule dampening effect for the item on top.
They arrived quickly and the four wheels appeared to be well made and strong. They also came with sixteen screws and a lifetime warranty.
I used a drill to help me fit them on the base of the barrel. The screws were the perfect length and tightened well against the metal supports. The only drawback is that we won’t be able to lock the wheels as there is insufficient room below the barrel and it will be too heavy to access them when the barrel is full. However, the brakes are effective.
The barrel is now easy to push along our patio and we look forward to filling the barrels with soil and plants with the benefit of being able to move the display as we choose.
I needed some castors for when I built my cutting table. I was instantly pleased with the look and feel of them… excellent value… Very strong and great quality.
I k ew my cutting/storage table would be heavy as it would be holding lots of items in my sewing room as well as the heavy mdf boarding that was going to sit on top for my cutting mat… A great deal of weight I thought for these size castors… BUT… I need not have worried as they are absolutely perfect and I know i made the correct choice… I thought I would have to go for the very large expensive ones!
They castors do lock although with the weight on them I won’t need to use those but I have tested them. My summerhouse/cabin only had a sub-floor at the moment but these castors glide very well on that so I know they will be even better once I have my full flooring down in the future.
If you are to use these for similar purposes I would firstly attach a piece of wood onto the unit prior to adding the castors as this gives a more solid secure surface for screwing the castors into… The cube unit is not solid wood and I think the moving around of the unit would loosen the castors… That would not be a fault of the castors but purely the material they would otherwise be screwed into…it would weaken with the movement and the castors would fall out. That is just a bit of extra advise… The castors would be perfect for attaching to solid wood without additional support added.
I cannot recommend these castors enough and they are perfectly priced.
Screw holes were large, normally use own screws / bolts when buying this sort of thing, but supplied screws had sufficiently sized heads. Took no chances- pre-drilled slightly smaller holes in pine for the screws and oiled / greased tips of screws, screws went in fine, seem secure. The previous castors had been screwed into pine blocks which were then screwed into the furniture, of course most holes didn’t line up, only replaced one pine block.
Being almost all black the castors are fairly discreet with traditional three piece suite furniture. Tried to ensure that when braked the brake handles would not catch people as they walk by. Might be worth using masking tape or locking them when flipping items of furniture on their backs/upright so brake handles don’t dig in floor. Brake mechanism stops wheel swivelling as well as rotating, which was a nice surprise.
They seem pretty sturdy, used four on a settee, had to keep / reuse old castors in the middle, which have a lower height, presumably because as an old sofa it had sagged slightly, I added a sixth wheel at the middle back, maybe that is unusual; the sagging issue might be something to watch out for, presumably could work around with washers.
