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.

5" x 2" Phenolic Casters

Diameter: 5 inTread: 2 inCapacity: up to 1,200 lb

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. When floors see chemicals or washdowns, prefer sealed bearings and non-absorbent wheel compounds. For dual-wheel or wide treads, check fork clearance and swivel radius in tight aisles. These medium-duty options cover everyday bake carts, metalworking fixtures, and debris-heavy floors without jumping to extreme forged series.
