FactorDuty 4 All Black Metal Swivel Plate Caster Wheels w/Brake Lock Heavy Duty High-Gauge Steel (4 Combo)

I bought these on March 29th 2021 and installed two of them on the pump/handle side of my shop hoist in early April. After about 6 months of very light use (2 engine pulls), the caster bearings started to bind, and that progressed every time I moved the hoist (laden or unladen). I regreased them every other use, but this didnt seem to mitigate their wear. Today (February 4th 2022) one of them broke off while moving the hoist about 10 feet across my shop floor without a load on it. They claim to be rated at 400lbs each (which is what my hoist manufacturer recommends for these casters), and the combined capacity should be 700-800 lbs between the two of them. The hoist weighs about 250lbs without a load, and these wheels are on the pump side, which only bears about 15-20% of any load that the hoist arm bears. The maximum estimated weight that has ever been on these casters is about 600lbs. Im thoroughly disappointed in their quality, and I will not be using the other two that came with this kit.

I purchased these after buying the 6 inch version from the same manufacturer. I found the 6 inch version to be extremely heavy duty and absolute overkill for my project. I decided to go with this 4 inch version expecting a scaled down version of the larger casters. These casters dont appear to have any bearings at the center of the wheel. That results in the wheels having up/down and side to side play around the wheel axle bolt. Im talking about an 1/8 of an inch total up and down play per caster. The casters moan and groan while being moved. I attempted to weld these casters to the bottom of my project and the caster metal melted away quickly. I wont be returning either set. The 6 inch set will be used in the future when I need some serious support; these will be tossed in the trash. If I hadnt damaged one caster before learning that these need to be bolted on, not welded, I would have returned them. I cant recommend a caster that doesnt have a bearing at the center of the wheel

Excellent choice for my welding table. Wheels lock solid with break applied.

Excellent product esp for the price; would recommend these.

Just what I wanted for a trunk like very heavy coffee table I recently purchased. The thing is so heavy that without wheels I would never be able to move it. I screwed in the wheels myself and they move smoothly. I am more than pleased!

We put them on an old trunk we use as a coffee table. They seem to be sturdy, and I love how easy it is to roll the table to where I need it.

The wheels are cute and as described, but they didn’t come with any screws and the holes are too big for a typical screw so you have to buy washers

These are very sturdy. Made a base for a bandsaw to move easily around my shop. I was a toolmaker and machine designer for many years. These are as good as I have seen, and do not pick up chips.

I am very happy with these casters. I was looking for some elsewhere, and they were either very industrial and modern looking (think rubber wheels and bright colors) or they looked good but were expensive. These looked just right, and were priced right, too. I received these very quickly, and overall I was very satisfied with their quality. The only fault I found was that one of the casters had some parts on it that werent black, whereas the other 3 were totally black, as expected. This wasnt a big deal, though, because we had plenty of black spray paint on hand to fix that. I would buy these again if I ever needed another set of casters.

Not a complaint just information. The steel wheels roll better than the composition wheels on a CLEAN concreate floor. They do not like saw dust in their path. We put these on a large resaw band saw that does not get moved frequently. They are great for this application.
