New to forum, 1st post

I need to move a 1800 lb load on a level roller conveyor from rest.
Steel Pallet and steel rollers.

I seem to be finding a lot of different numbers for the rolling coefficient .001~.002 to .1~.2.

Does anyone have the right number for the rolling coefficient and is the formula as simple as F=M*u?

Thanks in advance,
Brian
