Mobile Kitchen Island wheel casters advice?

[Truefire]

Hey guys i am in the process of building a mobile kitchen island cart and was wondering if you have any suggestions on the types of casters used. I desire to have locking ones that would readily roll on the linoleum floor in the kitchen without leaving indentations. Well of course i understand that the linoleum will indent to some degree anyway.

I was just wondering if you all were familiar with a select type of wheel design/composition/etc; that is designed for this type of application and was on the market?

This mobile cart will cash in at a rather hefty weight somewhere around 80-90 lbs.

These swiveling/locking casters from Woodcraft are pretty good....

As long as you wouldn't mind the color.

I have used them on several shop cabinets and they roll really nice and lock pretty firm.

Rockler has some attractive ones. Go to their website and type in casters. They have quite a few styles. In your application, select a wide tire to spread the weight. Good hunting.

I used stem mounts on this one. Castors came from a Rockler sale, I believe.

I own one set of these from Rockler on my router table and it glides like a dream even when weighted down.
