    Default Mobile base options

    Hi all....
    I need to replace a mobile base after a plastic cam lever failure....
    I was wondering if anyone is aware of any that have 4 castors? - rather than the standard of 2 castors and 2 fixed wheels.... these are hard to manoeuver through my cramped garage/workshop...
    Oh - and no plastic please.....

    can you replace the castors on your current base??

    If so look at specialist castor suppliers, .

    If you'd consider spending a little more, maybe look at getting a set of leveling castors. I put a set on my router table and they are awesome.

    Buy WoodRiver Machine Leveling Caster Plate Mounted 4 Pack at Woodcraft

    These things are rated at 600kg, so it will take some serious effort to break them, I bought mine from woodcraft, but you might be able to source them cheaper....

    Found these guys tops with plenty different types. Pallet Trucks, Wheels, Castors, Material Handling, Trolleys, Pallet Stackers, Engineering Products & Solutions, Conveyors, Moulding - Richmond Wheel & Castor Co prices are right too.
