Frequently Asked Questions

Why are 4-inch casters the most popular?
4-inch wheels balance maneuverability with load capacity and obstacle clearance. They roll easily over door thresholds and small cords while fitting under most standard-height equipment.
Are 4-inch TPR casters quiet enough for hospitals?
Yes. TPR rubber provides quiet, vibration-dampened rolling that meets noise requirements for hospitals, clinics, libraries, and offices.
Can I upgrade from 3-inch to 4-inch on the same plate?
Yes. Both use the same 2-3/8 x 3-5/8 bolt pattern. The 4-inch wheel adds about 1 inch of height but provides higher load capacity and smoother rolling.
