Choosing 2 in low profile casters

Load: divide the loaded weight by three for a four-caster cart [S2]. A 225 lb caster from this page then suits about 675 lb, and the strongest at 300 lb about 900 lb.
Stem: the most common stem on 2 in low profile casters is 7/16 x 1-3/8 in; 1/2-13 x 1 in and 1/2-13 x 1-1/2 in also appear; measure thread size and length, or the tube inside diameter, on the old caster.
Floor: on 2 in low profile casters, rubber is kinder to tile and finished floors; polyolefin rolls easier under heavy loads on smooth concrete.
Rig: swivel 2 in low profile casters are listed, with side lock brake options.
