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.

2-1/2 x 3 inch top-plate casters for chemical, food-contact, and washdown carts. Catalog chips cover wheel diameters 5 in, nylon treads, and capacities 325 lb.
