Replacement castors for an engine crane.

[pedrobedro]

the two castors on the ends of the folding legs are shot, the pressed steel components have twisted and distorted and all the balls have fallen out of the races.
The metal wheels themselves are fine.

My hoist is quite old and it doesn't have swivel castors at the front just plain wheels with an axle. It's easily maneuverable.

And then I wouldn't be able to move it apart from back and forth!

sure u would I have bolt on wheels that rotate off of the cages that the likes of the big super markets use

This thread is a masterclass in over-complicating the answers to a straightforward question

That's this forum through and through....
I won't post my views in the thread as it would be shut down.

They don't have anything with load rating.

The link Snooper posted has suitable ones.

@Kent posted a link to an excellent site selling all sorts of castors and wheels.

For the life of me I can't remember which tread it was in or what the site was

 

[armalites]

These guys have a good selection, load ratings all listed

I would find a similar size to the original and swap the cast wheel over, most of the weight when lifting is taken by the front wheels.

600kg rubber castors on ebay

set of 4 ~ £22

 

[MattH]

I'd put money on that being the load capacity of the set, so 150kgs each.
