Looking for 4 or 5 castor wheels. Gonna be for a kegerator so will need to be fairly heavy duty (although I won't be moving the fridge very often at all). Anyone got any knocking about or can recommend somewhere to buy them?
Where in the country?
Dublin
B&q have basic ones like you used to get on sofas back in the day. Ikea have them too and a better selection. You probably should get two that lock.
Dunno if they'd hold a fridge with 3 cornies and CO2 though :-\
Saw some decent ones in Ted Johnson's in Naas if you're ever out that way. They were rated for 75kg and there were larger ones too.

B&Q ones are weedy, good furniture castors should be ok considering the sofa supports 3 large adults they won't have trouble with the weight of one.
A&L castors tallaght used to sell sets of 2 fixed 2 swivel very cheap on ebay don't seem to be on there anymore.
They are the now trading as parnells: https://www.parnells.eu/castors.html
Whatever you get from them should last a lifetime my neighbour had very heavy wood working benches on castors from them. Just give them a ring they'll advise you.
Cheap source of sturdy castors is those lidl/aldi dollys. They're rated 250kg.

It's more to save my poor old arthritic arms.
This for the suggestions lads
Just being down to B&Q and I used one of their trolleys to carry out the stuff I bought :). You could do the same and buy a tube of Soudal painters chalk at only €1 a tube :o and used the trolley to carry it to your car which of course you left at home ;)
Hi Delzep - I've a few castors that may be of use to you. 2 types - dual or single wheel. These were removed from data/telecoms equipment cabinets - as new. Can get my hands on more if anyone else wants some....
They look spot on. How much for the ones with the metal plates on them? I'm only down the road from you
Free - I got them for nothing :) Saw guys throwing out a large box of these (50-60) on a site we do work on and asked for a few thinking they would come in handy some day... Was told I could get more if I needed them. I've moved from Lucan but I'm down Clondalkin / Park West / Newcastle way all the time with work. Sure PM me to arrange collection of these.
