Hi all,

where is the best place to buy braked castors?

The only place I know is Rutlands (and they have removed the discounting on their's

Do the folks know of good alternatives?

Cheers.

Axminster is you friend!
Well priced and well made-I've bought a few over the years :wink:
Hope this helps

I've had some good ones off ebay much cheaper, but the axminster ones are good too.

I did use the axminsters one's that Philly has linked to, but i think they are rubbish (sorry mate). After a while, they sink a little and it's hard to move things about.

I got some locking swivel casters locally and they work OK but inevitably the locking lever disappears under the box they are mounted on when I come park and lock it.
So does anyone know if you can get locking casters that have a locking mechanism that is fixed and does not turn with the wheel?

The Axminster range lock the swivel as well as the wheel. So Lynx don't like them, I've not had any problems with any I have bought, perhaps he bought a different type!
