TireSkates

This test was for one skate, not 4 (see caster testing).

The test was run twice and averaged together. The shop floor is old concrete, not shiny smooth, so the starting force would be greater than a new, beautifully trowelled shop floor. Click on the mfg. name in the left  links to get a page with pictures and more detail about that caster and dolly.

Manufacturer Load Starting Force - lbs. Rolling Force - lbs.
CD 1500 86.0 54.5
CS 1500 * 60.0
V 1500 * 78.5
TireSkate 1500 84.5 26.5
       
China Steel 1010 74.5 35.0
TireSkate 1010 59.5 25.0

* The starting force exceeded 110 lbs. for the 90degree turn, so a straight start was initiated, then the rolling force measured.
