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" Nylon Wheels

Diameter: 5, 8 inTread: 2 inCapacity: up to 2,000 lb

This collection gathers industrial casters used on chemical, food-contact, and washdown carts. Expect wheel diameters 5, 8 in, nylon treads, and capacities 600 to 2,000 lb. Softer treads quiet finished floors; harder compounds last longer on chips, heat, and rough concrete. When floors see chemicals or washdowns, prefer sealed bearings and non-absorbent wheel compounds. These heavy-duty options cover everyday chemical, food-contact, and washdown carts without jumping to extreme forged series.
