Only used twice.

Made this dolly to off-load my Edwards Ironworker a year ago. Approximately 26" x 32" made of 2x4 rect tubing (3/16") wall. 5" Performa locking casters are from Caster Town (SKU 21.05256.445)--so not cheap PA stuff. I can't recall exact rating, but at least 300 lbs per caster (they may be much higher, I just can't recall rating). I remember telling the guy at Caster Town who I buy from all the time I need 1200 lbs over four casters and he said these were MORE than adequate. Ironworker is 1200 lbs., so I suspect I over-built as usual. Casters themselves are probably $100.00. Height of dolly is 8.5". All four casters swivel.

If anyone wants, I will let go for $25.00, First come first serve.

But wait...THERE'S MORE!!!! ...........

Actually there isn't. I just always wanted to say that because I am addicted to Infomercials.

Bottom line is that the steel and casters are worth much more than 25 bucks. I just have no room left in my garage.
