Trimmed up and sealed the edges of a couple of pie shaped stairs today so I could send them off Monday for binding.
Tossing a bag of scraps onto the big dumpster, I noticed a large diameter hydraulic hose on top.
Twice or more the size of the Hyster, so I investigated.

Climbing up the steps on the rear side, I saw a shiny wheel.
Hey, it was 5 pm, good dumpster diving light.
Along with the old wet and stinky carpet and pad scraps was another hydraulic line, and another wheel........ Caster wheels. 🤔
two were swivel, two straight.
absolutely zero indication they were ever used or even attached to anything. No marks from washers, lock washers .
These are new/never used.
They weigh 14 lbs.
I'm glad I didn't take the day off.

I'm seeing almost $30 bucks on Amazon for the swivel ones.
If I had a shop, + a welder, I could build one hell of an engine stand. 😁
Not a bad score.....
Not sure what to use them for either, but the price was right. 😁

Free is always the right price. I selvige castors when ever I get the chance. If nothing else to mount them under a pallet. Makes good skids.
 
They'd be great for an engine stand....
A lot I've seen will support 4000 lbs
Maybe someone bought a rolling mechanics tool box and wanted it to be stationary.
....I dunno.
