I use castors, it's light and easy to move.

I use the floater.
 No reason in particular,  was just the model that arrived.

Castors, but not the rubbish ones that come as standard, get the better replacement ones, or ask for them when ordering.

I have a castor that has 'disappeared' all on its' own, no one knows anything about it, from our whirlaway, from the other van.

While replacing it I may as well upgrade to the better ones.

Where from please?

Rob ;D

Well now I understand. A word just typed into a new post, with no context could mean anything. I didn't know Bickle make castors, I do know.

Is it a northwest thing to be so sparing with words?

Its a couple of years since I was there - I drove up to de- ice a valve on a nitrogen vessel at a factory next door to Blickle.

Hi Rob

I had my original Whirlaway from Malcleanse. When the castors packed in after a few months he replaced them for me with "some better ones".

These have worked without fault for about six years, though I don't use it all that much nowadays. I grease them every so often but certainly not after every use.

Malcolm tends to source a lot from Dual Pumps but prices from Malcolm tend to be OK so drop him a line. Be sure to stress that you do not want the standard OE ones.

Mention that he got the replacements for my in 2008 (ish). I'm sure he will have this detail to hand  ;D
