Hi all,
Are these any good for pinball legs for easy movement?
If not can you recommend others? Thx

Bought something similar to these - there a bit crap for moving them around, they get stuck on the smallest irregularity. If you want to give them a go, you can have them for postage cost.
I found the Rolson ones ok, but I was using them on very short pile carpet and smooth concrete.
 
Yea

Fair enuff, I have tiles in the Pinservatory. Even with a hydraulic truck, thy can get stuck & need a bit of a run to get over. With the ones I have, with a run, they stop, and the machine sometimes doesn't. YMMV
 
the 3 castor ones are ok only on a smooth surface, the smallest object and the castor stops, rotates until the next wheel is in line and the leg falls off. better than nothing and good on carpet but on tiles like you have, probably wont work well.
 
Yeah can imagine the three wheelers would struggle with tiles.

Didn't someone come up with some pinball specific ones once..... with a single larger wheel and a bar between the legs? Swear I have seen those somewhere but no idea what they are called

Edit: Found them, called pinskates, not cheap tho...... probably better off picking up a second hand lift truck for the money
 
Yes they did and I have a set. much better but my JJP POTC was so heavy they bent! Also the lock scratches powdercoated legs so beware if using on those.
