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.

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