I have these Faultless 6" casters:
My question is about storing them outdoors. I live in northeast IL. Ideally, I would like to just attach the legs to the crane, inserted as far into the crane as possible, and keep the crane on these legs permanently, OUTSIDE THE HOUSE (so that it does not take the space).
The concern I have is whether I should worry about the bearings rusting. I have blue/green "marine grease" that I would like to apply, to both the wheel bearings as well as to the swivel bearings. My own hope is that it should prevent all risting in the bearings. Am I correct?
As far as preventing rust on the outside surfaces of the casters (where there is neither paint not zinc), I would just spray CorrosionX HD on those surfaces and I am sure that they will be fine. It is the bearings that I worry about.
