Hyd-Mech S20 - Shop Floor Talk
Mar 8, 2011 · At work, our go to carts are made with cast iron wheel castors. I think 6” diameter wheels. They roll pretty well, and don’t necessarily get locked by a grain of sand, although a clean floor definitely helps. The jet saw at work has the same castors.

Drywall support in a metal building - Shop Floor Talk
Mar 8, 2011 · I don't think the furring strips would be strong enough due to the large open span they have to cover between the floor and that girt. Will look into water resistance. Considering the building is conditioned and there are no floor drains, I can't see doing a washdown, but certainly not a bad idea. Thanks guys. _____-----
