trolley castor question
when they say they're rated at, for example, 150kg per castor, does that nean a trolley using 4 of them can hold 600kg, and if i made 4 wheel
dollies, to put the car on in the garage to move it about easier, the 4 dollies, with 4 castors each, are good for 1200kg? is it that easy?

Think so, except the 1200 should be 2400kg

oh yeah, 2400kg 
the racing trucks are ballasted to about 900kg i think. so assuming mine is about 900kg without ballast, 150kg each castors are well over what i need.
something about 65kg each, with a big diameter wheel should be good then?
ideally the car should be drivable soon anyway (i said that on here in 2007) , so might not come to anything lol

for a set of 2 though isn't it? ideally need 4, because its to move the car sideways, without having to push it uphill out the garage, then
through the dip in the drive way
can get a set of 16 castors for £56, i've got loads of steel tube i can weld up, its too thick and heavy for anything else. and it'll give
me something to do... lol

Blake, I'm about to make a set of dollies to move the car around and I thought Axminster were the cheapest for castors but you have obviously
found better. Could you U2U me with details please so that I can get a set.
Many thanks
John
