These new casters arrived this morning. They will replace the poor quality casters that came on the very expensive wheel dollies I bought a year ago. I thought I was buying MADE IN USA, but, I was screwed. The original casters had .061" of clearance between the bearings and the wheel bore. The wheel would fall to one side and lock-up. These replacement casters are not much better, but the casters swivel easier because they have a better crown.
There are 16 casters on a set of four dollies.
I bought these wheel dollies late last year, and here a year later the company is finally trying to do something about the situation they generated. I would like to think their product was better when it was Made in USA.
If I were to buy the German Made casters I prefer, I would be out of pocket about $45 X 16. This is not going to happen.
http://www.blickle.ca/en-ca/products/pr ... JoQAvD_BwE Notice, I did not use the original company name. I think they continue to really try to make this right, but, maybe they need someone on staff who understands how to use measuring tools to check that the supplied components meet spec. When I buy casters for other projects, I know what to look for and I do not have this problem. When something comes assembled in a box from a reputable company, I did not check. This will not happen again.
