Wheels for Marquipt Sea Stairs

[Bill Root]

I may need to replace the wheels on my sea stairs. Has anyone replaced the wheels on their Marquipt sea stairs from a source other than Marquipt? I don't mind paying their proud prices for the stuff they make themselves, but as I learned when I had to replace the controller on my tender crane, many of the parts on their equipment they just buy from retail suppliers and mark up 50%. For example, the winches and controllers in most of their cranes are just the same Strongarm brand stuff you can buy over the internet.

Thanks

You may be able to find an exact match thru McMaster or Harbor Freight. They have a great selection(s) at probably 1/2 the price.

They did make those difficult to outsource didn't they? They have a large diameter stem to prevent early failure IMHO.

I was wondering if I took some measurements and sent the above place a photo, if they could come up with something.

The wheels are supplied to Marquipt by Jarvis who would not sell direct, but instead referred me to Consolidated Truck and Caster in St. Louis. Tell Consoildated that you are looking for replacement stainless Marquipt wheels, and they will point you to the right replacement part. Pricing is about 60-65% of Marquipt price plus moderate shipping costs. There may be other suppliers out there, but these guys have proven themselves to be knowledgable and easy to deal with.

The folks in St Louis are still bang on to support this issue/thread. 36 per wheel vice 300 for a set.

This thread is still relevant and my thanks to all.
