The below capacity ranges indicate the working (dynamic) load that each caster will support. A safety factor should be included in your formula to determine your required load rating per caster.

W/(C-1)=R W is total weight needed to move. C is total number of casters required. R is ideal load rating, with safety factor built in. Divide the total load weight by one less caster than you will use to safely determine load rating.

10" x 3" Polyurethane Casters

Diameter: 10 inTread: 3 inCapacity: 2,500 lb per casterPlate sizes: 4-1/2 x 6-1/4

This page lists two polyurethane casters with 10 in wheels, rated 2,500 lb each, made by CasterHQ. Every one uses a 4-1/2 x 6-1/4 in top plate, in both swivel and rigid. Two examples are a 10 x 3 in polyurethane steel rigid caster rated 2,500 lb and a 10 x 3 in polyurethane steel swivel caster rated 2,500 lb.
