Greetings All,
I don't see the above topic in the long Piantech library list, and came up empty on the PTG search field of all discussion groups as well. So here goes .....
I have a client with a Yamaha G1 who has it on a carpeted stage - very low tight carpet. The current casters are 1 3/4-inch wide brass, and the client finds it very difficult to move the piano on the carpet, which he must do frequently.
In looking at replacement casters (he is on a budget) I see the max load rating for any set of synthetic 3 dual-wheel casters (with a wider footprint, irrespective of brand) to be 600#. The G1 is just shy of 640. The client doesn't feel that a truck is affordable.
I haven't been able to find the weight ratings for the more expensive dual wheel brass casters, so don't know if they offer a higher weight rating option.
So ...... What would you recommend?
