Castors for Wittern 3575

[AndyPettitt]

Hello, 

I just purchased a Wittern 3575 and was wondering if anyone had information on putting castors on the machine. Either factory approved or improvised.

Thanks,

Why? It would be a tipping hazard. Just put sliders under the levelers and it can be slid around.  Its kind of dangerous because people tip snack machines all the time to get freebies.

True about the tipping hazard. The staff of the center I am working at asked for castors so it can be moved to access the wall behind it. The machine is sandwiched between 2 pop machines in a recess in the wall. They are worried about having to move it for maintenance or cleaning. It is in a watched area whenever anyone has access to it.

If you work there just tell them that you’ll gladly move it upon request. A pallet jack works really well, probably pick one up on Craigslist for 100-200 bucks.

If they really, really insist on wheels get the non swivel kind, and mount it so that it increases the footprint.

Good points all around. They even have a pallet jack in the building. Thanks for the tips.
