I can not find any 4" grip ring stem casters that are rated to support more than 115 lbs. I have 4" casters leftover from my new tool chest on my reborn construction Shopsmith. They do not appear to be that rugged and will not just go over the garage door offset without my help. I found the 3" casters actually worked better getting in and out of the garage.
