Quick Jack Wheels

For those of you that have mounted the 1” ball bearing wheels under these, what is the recommended fastenings?

Drill & tap for a screw?
Zip ties?
Two-sided tape?
Epoxy?
JB Weld?

Or a combination of the above.

Thank you for your comments.

Ha, none of the above. I used a quick spot weld where the bearings were drilled for screws.

I used 3M ds tape and then criss crossed zip ties. So far it has worked well.

same here, has been fine. They are only there for moving them around, so no major pressure on them.

I have mine hanging using the QJ hangers. While heavy, still not to bad to hang and remove

I imagine its easy to put up on the wall with that nice tractor!

But at my age there is no way I can lift them even though I got the mounts.

Maybe a block and tackle..........

I store my Quick Jacks between the wall studs in my shop. I also use a rope pulley hoist to lift the jacks into place, then rest the jacks on the floor studs. To secure the jacks from falling into the work area, I used i-bolts and fiberglass rebar inserted into the i-bolts to secure the jacks from falling out of the space between the studs. This is a back saving cheap solution and store the jack out of the way.

Parts needed:
8 - i-bolts (4 used in securing the top and bottom of the jacks)
4 - Fiberglass rebar (2 - used to insert into the i-bolts to secure the top and bottom of the jacks)
2 - tie rings (used on the top horizontal stud running across the wall stubs to attach the rope hoist)
1 - rope pulley hoist (move between the tie rings to lift/lower the jacks)

Hey got2hav1,

Please explain your cris-cross method of securing the wheels with the zip ties.
Thanks!

These are ball transfers from Amazon. I used 3M double sided tape and then criss crossed the wire ties over the flanges on the bearings. Works good. I can't take credit for the idea, someone posted a link to a you tube video and that's where the idea originated.

rolls around amazingly well, and is only about an 1/8in off the floor. can't believe I've had these things for at least 8 years and never looked into this haha.

if your floor is decently smooth, I think these type would be better than the casters
