Rotissere Casters?

[TT LS2]

What type of pneumatic casters are you guys using? I'm fabb'n a rotissere and I need wheels. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.

I have some from harbor freight. They are 4". Make sure they are locking, that is one I thing I will fix on mine. I found myself chasing my car around the shop while grinding or working on it

I used 10" pneumatic wheel at the rear and two solid rubbers up front.

To prevent the flat spotting of the wheels, I installed screw jacks to handle the weight of the vehicle once it has been mounted.

I used hard casters that I got from Northern Tool. If you use pneumatic casters make sure you can support it without the casters when you are working. Otherwise you will be surprised at the movement you get when you are working on the car due to the casters bouncing.

I think the only time you want pneumatic casters is when you are loading it on a trailer or going "offroad" while you sandblast etc.

I used Harbor Freight 8" hard rubber casters all with locks,Northern Tool has a good selection as well, it made such a big difference from little 4" casters,moving it with a car attached on smooth floor is a effortless ,also great when loading and unloading on the flatbed , I don't think you'd benefit much from pneumatic casters unless you like to push it around in dirt field or work on your car on the front lawn with plush grass

heres a company i use out here in california. they are strictly a caster supply. they can assemble you any kind of caster with any load range wheel and with or without brake units. they asemble them on the spot and im sure they can ship them where ever you need. i wouldnt go anywhere else except for maybe northern tool. I have a set of iron casters one a milling machine cart that are coated with a 1/4 inch layer of a high end urethane or something that can hold like 1000# each and wont develop flat spots. they also have some hightech plastic ones that hold the same and are a little cheaper. give them a call you wont be disappointed.
