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.
Plate dimensions shown are overall mounting plate size. When replacing existing casters, select the closest plate size and verify bolt-hole compatibility. BHP = Bolt Hole Pattern, shown under each plate.

This collection gathers plate-mount casters used on bake carts, metalworking fixtures, and debris-heavy floors. Expect wheel diameters 6 in, phenolic treads, and capacities 1,800 to 2,000 lb. Confirm stem length and thread pitch on stem mounts so the shoulder seats flush in the boss. Pair swivel and rigid casters for tracking, or use total locks where the cart must park on a grade. These heavy-duty options cover everyday bake carts, metalworking fixtures, and debris-heavy floors without jumping to extreme forged series.
