Height adjustable castors

[The Black Adder]

Hi all.

I'm going to make some low plinths for my speakers and because my floor is an olde floor it goes down at one side of the room by a good 1.1/2". Does anyone know of any castors that will adjust to this?

I need castors as the cabinets are quite big and heavy. I also need the ability to move them easy too so spikes are no good.

Any info would be good.

Many thanks
Joe

Let me get this right Joe - You want to park a car on a hill and leave the handbrake off?

You CAN get castors with brakes, you know! http://www.thecastorshop.co.uk/Top_PlateFixed_Top_Plate_and_Top_Plate_Braked_Cast or_Packs.asp

The 2nd suggestion looks more promising.

These http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-Diameter-Wheel-Light-Duty-Threaded-Stem-Swivel-Caster-Roller-/360657124554?pt=UK_BOI_Industrial_Supply_Material_ Handling_ET&hash=item53f8d6fcca

have a long enough threaded shank so could be screwed into a nut welded to a mounting plate. The shank then recessed into birch ply mounting blocks as I assume you don't want to drill holes for the shank in the bottom of your speakers.

These even have brakes

I've used this type for a Tannoy GRF-R style cab build that needed to me locked securely on a slate plinth...
You might be able to buy something like a threaded boss on a plate - I can find anything with a quick ebay search though. Then there is the sinking of the shank into the cab issue.

If you are interested in me making you something bespoke PM me.

lol.. Thanks guys.

It's just that my floor was made by a wonky person who looked wonky. Mr. Wonky to be precise... No need for brakes, just height adusters. Or maybe something that I can at least slide the cabs on because spikes would be impossible and not really needed as it's a concrete floor.

Many thanks Steve, sounds good.. I'll let you know.
