Dolly wheels?

[Graham W]

I have a quite heavy duty boom stand and I'm after some wheels for it. The only thing is that the legs are made of 20mm square section and the only wheels/casters I can find are for circular tubing.
Any ideas of where I may find some?

A couple of local (to me) companies may be able to help you..

• www.castorsunlimited.co.uk (select "threaded tube inserts")
• www.guy-raymond.co.uk (manufacturer, I'm uncertain if they sell direct but they may be able to put you in touch with a distributor)

Kupo make some casters for square legs and if you look for Avenger rather Manfrotto they do a few too.

Thanks for the tips folks. It seems that castors/wheels designed to fit square section leg light stands easy to find in the US, but less so in the UK.
I reckon that wheels designed for 30mm round tubular legs should do it, as long as there is a locking screw. (May need a bit of shimming.)

Edit. Or, of course, get some metal tubing/rod which will slide into my square section legs and get wheels to fit that.

http://www.blickle.co.uk/ sell 30,000 different types of castors and wheels; my MiL got a small quantity from them for an unusual application. Perhaps give them a ring?

Thanks. I'll have a look.

Ok. It seems getting the wheels is no problem at all, it's getting the "mechanism" to attach them to the square section legs.
Anyway, I've ordered some for round section legs and I'm going to have to take myself to the garage, open my big box of hammers and cue the theme tune!
