Product Description
Product Description
We call these "all terrain" caster for good reason. These solid rubber knobby tires on a steel hub with ball bearings are perfect for wet, uneven terrain or for surfaces. They are great for use on lumber carts, and with some creativity can help make a great "off road" tool hauler for those extended projects away from the shop. Rugged steel mounting pad and bracket. Swivel bearing can be greased for smooth wheeling. These 8" swivel casters have a 4-1/2" x 4" plate and 500 lbs. capacity.
From the Manufacturer
Red polyurethane tire is molded onto a tough hard rubber hub. Integral roller bearings in the hub make installation on an axle shaft quick and easy. Rounded profile of the tire delivers minimal rolling resistance, and the polyurethane material will not mar or scuff floor surfaces.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
But, with my old set of two fixed 5-inch wheels and a pivot point, the thing was nearly impossible to move as needed to track the sun manually. I was a bit wary of the price for these casters--when a set of four 5-inch casters costs as much as one of these--but I decided that a bigger, rubberized wheel would be better for the desert sand and rocks out here. At the last minute, I decided to get 4, instead of using two and a pivot.
I am glad I did. With one of these casters at each corner, the rack moves so easy, far easier than my old rack with half the panels and much less than a quarter of the weight.
The wheels do have an odor when they arrive, as mentioned previously. It was not too overwhelming at first, but after a few hours, the smell started bothering me with the package inside the house. I had to move them outside.
These things are heavy duty, with a nice, thick steel plate. The pivot has a grease fitting to keep the casters spinning, but none for the wheel bearings. They should be sealed well enough to work, anyway. My only concern is how they will hold up over time in the sun, which is absolutely brutal here in West Texas. If i get a year or two out of these, I will be happy.
The end result are wheels that will fail. I sent Weber a picture of the wheels deforming the plastic and breaking. They sent me the same replacements. This is not the answer. The replacement wheels are small 3/8 inch rod attached to a cheap plastic rim. The wheels themselves on the grill are hard plastic and not even rubber.
These are heavy-duty. I attach them to the under surface using a 3/8 inch bolt and a large washer to distribute the forces across the bottom plate.
They are, to use the vernacular, bulletproof.
Now I'm in the process of getting the swivel wheels for the front. I wish they were cheaper. I do understand that putting $70-$80 with the wheels on the grill would increase the cost. It should be an option.

À la première impression elle semble assez robuste. Le temps et les saisons pourront le confirmer. J'ai confiance. Je vais surement en acheter d'autres pour d'autres applications.
