Larger diameter casters roll easier, so I prefer 4-6 inch polyurethane for something like that, but whatever works, right? I'm not a big fan of HF tools, however for $16.99 each, I would probably run these: http://www.harborfreight.com/5-inch-x-2-inch-heavy-duty-swivel-caster-41562.html

3 large guys can pick up a Bronco body but takes 4 to move it around so guessing 5 to 600 Lbs or so. Get large diameter casters the larger the better especially if you have cracks, expansion joints or soft ground to deal with.

I used the 5" casters. Found them at Home Depot.

I used 8 inch air filled from HF. Rolls out of garage onto gravel and back toot sweet

Awesome fellas I have a set of air wheel casters that rate at 350lbs each they are 5in diameter so they should work fine I hope.

Larger diameter is better. Goes over rocks, ridges, and cracks.

...extension cords, air lines, small pets/children...it's all good.
