5 Inch Thermoplastic Rubber Wheel Casters

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.

Choosing 5 in TPR casters

Load: divide the loaded weight by three for a four-caster cart [S2]. A 315 lb caster from this page then suits about 945 lb, and the strongest at 315 lb about 945 lb.

Mount: most 5 in TPR casters use a 3-1/8 x 4-1/8 in top plate; check the bolt spacing on your frame against the plate size.

Floor: on 5 in TPR casters, rubber protects finished floors and runs quietly; check the rating if the cart also crosses rough concrete.

Rig: swivel and rigid 5 in TPR casters are listed.
