How big of casters for 4x8 Trey

[HookedonPonics]

Made a homemade table for 8x4 treys. The treys are drain to waste and will only have eight 5 gallon pots of coco in them. What size casters to roll this bad boy around with ease?

Well, 8 wet 5g pots can weigh 400lbs, if your tray is made from wood it weighs between 1-2 hundred lbs. You may also end up standing on that tray at some point, so thats another 200. You need 4 casters that can safely handle 250lbs each, which you will find at HD in various sizes. Don't skimp, the cheap ones are hard to get started moving and can rotate in a jerky manner.

I have these nice ones I got at HD and they look small... But they have locks on them that can be undone with your foot

I got mine at harbor freight. They use Rollerblade wheels. 400lb capacity. Super smooth rolling.

4 inchers. Anything less will have a hard time rolling fully loaded

5 or 6. One or two in the center.
