Teetorbilt you are the man.

Did you just google that?

I spent like a good 5-10 minutes googling finding nothing.

Re: Any Direction Non-swivel Dolly Wheels?


Looks like I got excited too quickly (the website got me going).

It doesn't look like "Spherical Wheels" sell in the USA. And I emailed them asking if there is a dealer that sells online.

Turns out its mcmaster.com has what I needed (thanks dustball).

But the ones I like are a little more than I wanted to spend (6.60 I was looking at about 3-4 bucks since I'm getting 8 wheels). But all the other sites only sell in bulk.


Also whats the big difference between steel balls, and nylon balls?

I'm also on/have a lot of sites for engineers, maybe took me a minute.

Steel balls will support more weight, last longer but are more likely to score/indent floors. Nylon's are just the opposite.

Steel will rust if it gets wet. You never did say what you were doing.
