5" x 2" Nylon Wheels · 250-1,650 lb

This collection holds 5 Wheels Wheels with nylon, phenolic and polyurethane treads, made to replace worn wheels on carts, dollies, racks, and equipment. Wheels in this collection range from 250 to 1,650 lb per wheel. Wheels in this category are 5 inches in diameter with 1-1/4 to 10 in tread widths. Nylon rolls easily, resists water and many chemicals, and is hard, so it is loud on rough floors. Phenolic rolls easily on smooth floors and handles dry heat, oil, and grease, but it is not made for water or washdown. It suits warehouse carts, toolboxes, and tool carts, and it is loud on rough floors. Polyurethane (poly or urethane) treads are quiet, floor safe, and resist water and many chemicals. Match the bore, hub length, diameter, and tread width before you order. Order the axle and spacers if the old ones are worn. Nylon aisle: nylon casters. Caster hub: heavy duty casters.
