Comparing Ultra-Fab Steel Micro-Roller and Jumbo Roller For Trailers and RV's
Question:
I have a 7x20foot enclosed trailer and want to add rollers to the rear. Id like to understand how to best choose between the 2 1/4inch roller and the 3inch roller. Thanks!

The main thing I would look at is the surface area between the Ultra-Fab Steel Jumbo Roller # UF48-979023 and Ultra-Fab Steel Micro-Roller # UF48-979021.
The Jumbo Roller is going to have a slightly larger surface area with the size of the roller being larger 2-1/2" diameter vs 2" on the Micro-Roller. This will lead to less sinking in on softer asphalt surfaces that you may encounter and the wheel will more easily roll over small rocks and debris on the road surface.
