2″ x 7/8″ Industrial Caster Replacements

This collection holds 2 in x 7/8 in Casters with rubber, nylon and polyurethane wheels, built for warehouse carts, racks, and plant dollies. Casters in this collection range from 100 to 2,400 lb per caster. Wheels in this category are 2 inches in diameter with 7/8 in tread width. The collection includes swivel, rigid, and brake models. Polyurethane (poly or urethane) treads are quiet, floor safe, and resist water and many chemicals. Rubber wheels are quiet, cushion the load, and protect floors. Softer poly or TPR is the better pick when the floor has chips or grit. Plate and stem mounts are listed on each product so you can match bolt pattern or stem size before you order. Check load per caster, then pick tread for your floor and mount style for the cart. Choose swivel casters when the cart must turn in place and rigid casters for straight travel. Rubber aisle: rubber casters. Wheel hub: replacement wheels.
