5 x 2 Casters and Wheels

This collection holds 5 in x 2 in Casters with polyurethane, phenolic and rubber wheels, built for warehouse carts, racks, and plant dollies. Casters in this collection range from 250 to 4,655 lb per caster. Wheels in this category are 5 inches in diameter with 2 in tread width. The collection includes swivel, rigid, and brake models. Polyurethane (poly or urethane) treads are quiet, floor safe, and resist water and many chemicals. Rubber wheels are quiet, cushion the load, and protect floors. Phenolic wheels are hard, roll with low effort, and handle debris well on unfinished floors. Plate and stem mounts are listed on each product so you can match bolt pattern or stem size before you order. Check load per caster, then pick tread for your floor and mount style for the cart. Choose swivel casters when the cart must turn in place and rigid casters for straight travel. Polyurethane aisle: polyurethane casters. Wheel hub: replacement wheels.

Questions

Caster capacity or wheel capacity?

Complete caster titles top out about 4,800 lb each. Bare wheels can list much higher with no yoke rating. Use the number on the listing you buy.

5 x 2 or 6 x 2?

6 x 2 clears debris better and is the next step up on the same plate family. 5 x 2 is a common middle cart size when overall height matters.
