CasterHQ S34 Series · Stainless 2″ Wide Casters · 300 to 1,250 lb

This collection holds 2 Inch Wide Stainless Steel Casters 1250 Lb with polyurethane, nylon and rubber wheels, built for shop carts, equipment, and material handling carts that move heavier loads. Casters in this collection range from 300 to 1,250 lb per caster. Wheels in this category range from 4 up to 8 inches in diameter with a 2 in tread width. The collection includes swivel and rigid models. Polyurethane (poly or urethane) treads are quiet, floor safe, and resist water and many chemicals. Nylon rolls easily, resists water and many chemicals, and is hard, so it is loud on rough floors. Rubber wheels are quiet, cushion the load, and protect floors. Softer polyurethane or soft rubber or TPR tread is the better pick when the floor has chips or grit. Choose swivel casters when the cart must turn in place and rigid casters for straight travel. Polyurethane aisle: polyurethane casters. Wheel hub: replacement wheels.

Choosing 2 in wide stainless casters

Load: divide the loaded weight by three for a four-caster cart [S2]. A 1,200 lb caster from this page then suits about 3,600 lb, and the strongest at 1,250 lb about 3,750 lb.
Mount: most 2 in wide stainless casters use a 4 x 4-1/2 in top plate; check the bolt spacing on your frame against the plate size.
Floor: on 2 in wide stainless casters, polyurethane and rubber are kinder to tile and finished floors; nylon, polyolefin and phenolic roll easier under heavy loads on smooth concrete.
Rig: swivel and rigid 2 in wide stainless casters are listed.
