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.

Phenolic casters here serve bake carts, metalworking fixtures, and debris-heavy floors. You will see wheel diameters 5 in, phenolic treads, and plate-mount frames across the SKUs listed below. For dual-wheel or wide treads, check fork clearance and swivel radius in tight aisles. When floors see chemicals or washdowns, prefer sealed bearings and non-absorbent wheel compounds. These medium-duty options cover everyday bake carts, metalworking fixtures, and debris-heavy floors without jumping to extreme forged series.
