But with the hard rubber wheels you can't leave a really heavy load
(over 500 Lbs. or so) sitting on it long term without the casters
first flat-spotting and then cracking and falling apart. For that
kind of use you need the cast-iron centered wheels with molded on thin
tires, or solid cast iron.



Bruce, this seems to be a material other than rubber, such as
polyurethane. Would it change anything?
