Surplus Center New Arrivals

[Teachu2]

Thanks for the feedback... will be $115 for 8 to my door. No tax but $43 in shipping... a bit ridiculous IMO. I did push the button though.

That's still a great deal @ $14.38 each, delivered to your door in a 50lb box, for casters of this strength and quality.

Got my box of 8. About tripped over the box at my door this morning. They are heavy and look very stout. A little rough on the finishing but they are just utility castors.

Can you elaborate on the rough finishing? Do they look like they'll meet the weight rating?

Okay since you asked... Here are a few close ups. These pictures are of the first I pulled out of the box. I since took a brief look at the remaining 7 casters, and they seem quite consistent as far as weld quality, ball bearing grease, finish, etc.

This plastic bushing had some flash or something sticking out. Didn't see that on any other wheel.


Welds pretty consistent but maybe a little cold (penetration?). I'm no expert.


Bearings are good size and well greased. Zerk on the swivel.


Another Zerk on the axle. That impressed me some. Won't know how effective the brakes are until I put them in action, but I really like the big stout foot peddle. Cast wheel has some inconsequential sharp break off points.


All in all, I would say a pretty dang good deal. I will try to remember to post back after I put in use but that will likely be a month or more and I will probably forget. I paid a lot more for smaller high rated load casters from a local contractor hardware supply house. I wish I had these when I added smaller casters to my 4ft by 8ft outfield/welding table. :smiley_aafz:

Look good to me, I have a tote full of those casters you have on your table (I have them on my welding table too) from my dad's work, they are nice but I like the urathane/cast wheel better for really heavy equipment.

Guess I better get my order in........

How do I get my commission? :laughing:

Have to talk to SC about that!

I am first in line for the commission as I started this thread. I will take 10% off my next order and see what they say, as I now am responsible for at least 4 orders. Uh,that won't even cover the shipping.

I posted their next latest add in a new thread, look for it a few days back.

Yeah but... I did the thorough review! Ha ha.

Anyone here know how polyurethane tread holds up under heavy load on a brushed-concrete floor? Compared, say, to hard rubber.

 

[PILOON]

Polyurethane is a very tough material and will stand up just fine.
One advantage is that unlike rubber it will not leave black marks, and you might be surprised to find that often 'black rubber' is not really rubber.

Back some in time polyurethane casters were almost 2X black rubber in price.

Yes,various densities of PE are available. US Navy is a fan of UHMW PE. Ultra high molecular weight poly ethylene. A super tough composition used for amphibious well decking, rub strips, etc. takes the abuse. Trick is determining quality of PE used on the casters.

 

[jemclimber]

The casters are polyurethane not polyethylene. Not the same polymers at all, both have different properties that vary with molecular weight. Just an oversight I'm sure.:thumbsup:

 

[ArlyA]

Not just the navy who likes that materiel... I love HDPE and used it often on projects and snow implements. I have ABS as well but that stuff isn't nearly as tough.
