Hi
This on is for all those woodworkers who own a heavy Planer Thicknesser, which is the best set of wheels for moving it about?
I have an Electra Beckum HC 260 and am in the process of fitting some wheels. I am looking for recommendation, which is the best?
do I go for the Metabo model or is their something better on the market.
 
I’ve just put my PT on wheels. I got a set of fold down workbench wheels and bolted them onto each corner, I think they were off Amazon I’m afraid. They were about £50 and they seem to work fine so far.
My PT is a Startrite SDX310 and weighs about 150 Kg.

Hi Tom
Thanks for your instant reply.
I have had a look on Amazon, I think you mean the Solejazz ones.
 
I had this very heavy Wadkin planer on 75mm casters from rutlands & they held up admirably

if you get a discount code they can be quite a bit cheaper, Buy Heavy Duty Full Rotational Castors with Brake - 75mm Pack of 4 online at Rutlands.com
 
Hi,

It was these. There are probably much sturdier casters around but I wanted to be able to lower it onto the ground when using it.
I don’t think they would cope with anything much heavier. You can get heavy duty jacking casters but they’re quite pricey.
 
As above I have them on all my machines now including a cast iron Kity spindle moulder - all good.
