All measurements indicate the wheel diameter by the tread width.

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.

Plate dimensions shown are overall mounting plate size.
When replacing existing casters, select the closest plate size and verify bolt-hole compatibility.
BHP = Bolt Hole Pattern, shown under each plate.

  3. Floor: on 5 x 1.25 in semi-steel casters, semi-steel suits smooth concrete and heavy loads, but is loud and hard on tile and wood.
  4. Rig: swivel and rigid 5 x 1.25 in semi-steel casters are listed, with side lock brake options.
  5. Heat: among 5 x 1.25 in semi-steel casters, the highest listed range is -45°F to 600°F on semi-steel; check the temperature field on each listing before oven or hot-room use.
