Vintage Fairbanks 8 Cast Iron spoked Casters Swivel & Fixed Made in USA
This listing is for a set of (4) casters made in the USA by the Fairbanks Company. Two are swivel style (N-22-8) & two are fixed mount style (N-32-8). This exact style of wheel is no longer made by Fairbanks - I did find a listing with northern tool that was similar - see last photo (not made in usa).
The wheels on these all-steel casters are 8 inches tall & 2 inches wide. They have roller bearings with heavy sleeves in the wheels & ball bearings in the swivel portion & have grease zerks in both areas. The arms are designed for increased lateral stability is indicated by the creases & bends in them. The swivel pivot is much heavier than on the ones made off-shore (actually more robust all around).
These wheels don't show any signs of ever being mounted; just have chipping in the paint from being moved around. Great for a heavy duty cart, car rotisserie, mobile hoist or similar items. Would look cool for a farmhouse or steampunk designed project think mobile heavy-duty ice chest!
