Engineering Specifications

Caster Wheel Material Compatibility Chart + Selector (2026)

Quickly choose the right caster wheel material for your floor and environment. Use the chart for a fast answer, then run the selector tool to get a recommended material, what to avoid, and a copy/paste spec line for RFQs or maintenance tickets (supports up to 40,000 lbs).



Service Life & Wear of Casters Sizing & Spec (2026)

Service life describes how long casters perform reliably before wear, damage, or degradation requires replacement.

Floor Conditions for Casters Guide (2026)

Floor conditions define how casters roll, absorb shock, generate noise, and wear over time in real operating environments.

Chemical Resistance for Casters Sizing & Spec (2026)

Chemical resistance defines how caster wheels, bearings, and frames withstand exposure to oils, solvents, cleaners, and corrosive substances.

Operating Temperature for Casters Spec Guide (2026)

Operating temperature determines whether caster wheels, bearings, and lubricants function reliably in hot or cold environments.

Shock Load Rating for Casters Sizing & Spec (2026)

Shock load rating defines how well a caster withstands sudden impacts, drops, and load spikes beyond normal operating conditions.

Side Load Capacity for Casters Sizing & Spec (2026)

Side load capacity measures a caster’s ability to handle lateral forces during turning, impacts, and off-axis loading.

Brake Types for Casters Guide (2026)

Caster brake types determine how equipment is held in position and how safely it operates under load.

Bolt Hole Pattern for Casters Sizing & Spec (2026)

Bolt hole pattern defines the number, size, and spacing of mounting holes and directly affects caster fitment and structural integrity.

Wheel Diameter for Casters Guide (2026)

Wheel diameter directly affects rolling resistance, obstacle roll-over, and overall caster performance in real-world applications.

Top Plate Dimensions for Casters Spec Guide (2026)

Top plate dimensions control caster mounting fit, load distribution, and structural stability at the equipment interface.

Offset for Casters Guide (2026)

Offset is the horizontal distance between the swivel axis and wheel centerline and directly impacts roll-over capability, clearance, and stability.
