Need casters for 4 engine stands.Where to buy?
I have 4Pontiac V8s,2-400s,2-455s complete.in garage I want portable. I've made the storage stands, now for the casters. I was thinking 3 inch. Should I look at Harbor Freight(I think sometimes quality isnt worth the time)?. Or look on line? They wont be moved often just to clean

Thanks guys. Funny when I worked at Kennametal all those industrial suppliers catalogs were accessible to me as we used all of them. The only one I kept was a Ryerson.

Northern Tool if you have one near you. They have a big selection of casters better stuff than Harbor Freight and much cheaper than McMaster Carr although McMaster Carr has best quality IMO.

I've pirated some off of shopping carts that were run over by snowplows at our local Walmart. Getting someone to give you permission to remove them is sometimes pretty difficult though.
That being said, Amazon lists them, link: https://www.amazon.com/shopping-cart...acement+wheels I have them on more than one fabricated cart in my garage, they are damn tough. |

Ace Hardware sells them also. Check Craigslist too.

Well after searching through a box(there were a lot of small wheels on top of big wheels),I found 8- 5 inch wheels. I have no idea when I bought these wheels. Now I found enough. I guess I got to look first in all my 'stuff'.
