My landrover is currently immobilised in my workshop and to make it easier to work on i would like to put it on some dolleys, so i can move it around. Ive looked at whats available on the web and ive not had much luck as they all seem underated for the weight.
ideally i want them to go onto the axles rather than onto the wheels. I have the facillities to make some myself as they are a fairly simple design, but i still have the same weight issues with the castors. Can anyone recomend anywhere that have what i want or somewhere that i can get 6-8 inch castors from that will take the weight of the landrover?
Thanks in advance

must be a river or drainage ditch near by? Who do they always have trolleys in!

Looking in my RED recovery equip catologue, they spec 6 inch diameter nylon castors for the wheel dish skates for heavy duty over 1080kg per pair

I bought 4 casters off someone last week, for a fiver. They are rated at something like 1200 kg a piece. the bloke had lots of them. He's near uckfield in sussex but I spose he would post them, if your interested send me your mail address and I will mail it to him.
