Please see photos and respond only to my Craigslist ad - it is linked
to my real email address. These items are in the Dallas, Texas area,
and cannot be economically shipped:

I have four of these. They are steel rolling bases with precision
Albion casters and four adjustable stabilizing/leveling feet. They
would be ideal for setting up a garage wood or metal shop with tools
that could be rolled out and stabilized for use, then rolled away for
storage.


The ball-bearing casters have grease fittings on both the wheels and
the swivels, and the wheels are replaceable.


The bases are were built for a commercial application where each would
hold well over 1000 lbs of equipment. The mounting surfaces are
precision-machined flat within 0.002", and mounting bolts are
included.


These bases are very heavy, and require two people to lift. They will
be many times more stable and vibration-free than the cheap "wheel
kits" normally sold for power tools.


I am selling these bases for less than the price of one caster wheel
from Grainger!


Thanks and regards,


Marty


Is there any kind of lift mechanism to raise the base from stationary
positon to wheeled position similar to Delta Mobile Bases? Or, are
the stabilizers screwed down with a wrench to lift the wheels and
frame off the floor?- Hide quoted text -

The latter - you use a wrench to adjust the legs. The bases are
manufactured by Terradyne to support large heavy test-equipment
towers. Probably not conducive to a single-lever lift.
