I've got a Northern Tools engine hoist that only weighs about 200lb, and
it's all I can do to move it around -- because of the Chinalloy casters!


Ya got that right! Everything else can be right, but if the wheels aren't,
it's a pure d bitch.


The first thing that I did with my Harbor Freight crane, is to take
off the crappy casters, and weld on USA made 5 inch casters. Works
really great after about 5 years.
