OSHA does not set a single push/pull force limit, but enforces NIOSH/Snook recommendations under General Duty Clause 5(a)(1). This 2026 guide covers the 50 lb / 75 lb thresholds, push-force measurement, and the wheel material, diameter, and bearing changes that bring carts under compliance.
How much weight can a caster hold? Typical industrial casters carry 75 to 1,200 lb per wheel. This 2026 engineering guide covers capacity by wheel size, material, bearing, rig, floor, and the divide-by-3 plus 1.33x safety factor math by CasterHQ engineers.
Casters are not universal. This 2026 engineering guide covers the 6 compatibility variables — bolt pattern, stem type, wheel diameter, load capacity, brake style, and floor type — plus a step-by-step replacement measurement walkthrough by CasterHQ engineers.
A caster is a wheel mounted in a swiveling or rigid frame. This 2026 engineer-reviewed guide covers the difference between a caster and a wheel, the 8 parts of a caster, the 4 main types, capacity by wheel size, mounting compatibility, and how to choose the right one for your equipment.
