We pretty much only ever use Blickle ones now. Great quality. Had some seriously heavy duty ones from them a few times.

I 'll put up a want add maybe someone has some.if the machine weight is two tonnes dose the wheels need to be two tonne rated if 4 wheels are used on each corner

 

[brightspark]

depends if the weight is evenly spread in the middle then it is quarter

I could find you some used ones if its not urgent. Probably save you a fair bit of money ?

 

[whensparksfly]

If you could would be great

Beat me to it - if they'll hold 1/4 ton you'll be OK, subject to the above.

Which would be fine if it was 1 ton

For a 2 ton weight evenly distributed each castor needs to be rated for a minimum of 500KG.

4 wheels on each corner OR you have 4 wheels and are going to put 1 wheel at each of the 4 corners ?

If your using 4 wheels at each corner and the machine is 2 tonnes and assuming the weight is evenly spread then you have 1/2 tonnes at each corner and with 4 wheels to carry it to in theory each wheel only needs to cope with 1/8 tonnes.

I only have wheels in the picture but they are too weak for the job looking for better ones
