Colson's are meant for some very hardcore industrial applications. For instance I actually spotted them in the wild a few weeks ago while using a equipment mover at my gym. http://www.gymsupply.com/equipmenttransporteraai.aspx
2 of them are built to support close to 1,000 pounds.

If that says anything about how tough they are.
Oh yes, how could I forget about this great application. Their design removes the issue a robot with a 6, 8, or even 10 four inch wheels in a "normal" WCD style would have in this game. I love it. It's really an awesome piece of engineering.
