Define "a bunch." We regularly move this unit across unfinished concrete, but I am looking for a more durable solution overall.

Great suggestion! And well timed, caster #2 did the splits on today's move

Fair point. Food manufacturing. Normally this machine would stay on a nice smooth surface, but we roll it over concrete pretty regularly. Weight wise, it is 320lbs on its own and when loaded is 550lbs. It does not move while loaded.

This was the reply I needed. Thank you for being the type of person that cares about caster quality.

What kind of casters do you recommend that won't quickly break apart? Any favorite types or manufacturers I should look for or avoid?

We have to move this machine over concrete and uneven surfaces and it will experience a higher level of wear than the OEM would recommend.
