Medium-Heavy Duty Casters – 676 to 1,250 lbs. Per Caster

Browse every caster in the CasterHQ catalog rated between 676 and 1,250 lbs. per caster. This medium-heavy duty range covers the workhorses of industrial material handling — the casters that go under loaded platform trucks, heavy-duty shop carts, die transfer tables, and manufacturing fixtures where light-duty simply will not survive.

How to Choose a 676–1,250 lb. Caster

1. Calculate your per-caster load. Total loaded weight ÷ number of casters × 1.25 safety factor. If the result is 676–1,250 lbs., you are in the right range. On uneven floors, calculate based on 3 casters supporting the full load.
2. Select a wheel material. Polyurethane on iron core for smooth floors and noise reduction. Phenolic for high-temperature environments. Forged steel or ductile iron for the toughest shop conditions. Mold-on rubber when shock absorption matters.
3. Choose your wheel diameter. Larger wheels (6\"–8\") roll more easily over debris and floor joints. Smaller wheels (4\"–5\") keep deck height lower but require more push force under load.
4. Pick your bearing type. Ball bearings for general use. Tapered roller bearings for the highest loads and impact resistance. Kingpinless swivel heads for heavy-traffic applications.
5. Add brakes where needed. Total lock brakes are strongly recommended for any cart parked on inclines or loaded/unloaded by forklift.
