Choosing casters rated 1,251 to 2,000 lb

Load: divide the loaded weight by three for a four-caster cart [S2]; at 2,000 lb each, casters rated 1,251 to 2,000 lb suit a loaded cart of about 6,000 lb.
Mount: most casters rated 1,251 to 2,000 lb use a 4 x 4-1/2 in top plate; 4-1/2 x 6-1/4 in and 4-1/2 x 6-1/2 in plates are listed too; measure bolt hole centers on the old plate and compare.
Floor: on casters rated 1,251 to 2,000 lb, polyurethane and rubber are kinder to tile and finished floors; nylon, cast iron, phenolic, steel and ductile iron roll easier under heavy loads on smooth concrete.
