Maybe this will help answer the question. It is the picture of the Mark 7 from the online catalog today. See any castors? _ Mark 7 11-04-2024 OL Cat.jpg . I believe the Retractable Castors have always been an option. As John said accessory packages are available that include them. Buyers commonly p...

As mentioned, these steel wheels are quite heavy. The SS recessed washers are 0.2 inches thick, so leaving one off would ...
