7,501 to 10,000 lb Per Caster · Super-Heavy Industrial Casters · 4" to 21"

This collection holds 7,501 to 10,000 lb Per Caster with metal, forged steel and polyurethane wheels, built for heavy equipment, dies, molds, and plant carts that move very heavy loads. Casters in this collection range from 2,200 to 34,000 lb per caster. Wheels in this category range from 4 up to 40 inches in diameter with 2 to 7 in tread widths. The collection includes swivel and rigid models. Kingpinless swivels hold up better under shock and repeat loads. Dual wheel casters split the load over two wheels and swivel with less effort under heavy loads. Flanged and V groove track wheels ride on rail or angle iron track for straight line travel. Metal wheels roll with low effort and handle debris and heat. They are loud and can mark finished floors. Choose swivel casters when the cart must turn in place and rigid casters for straight travel. Forged steel aisle: forged steel casters. Wheel hub: replacement wheels.

Choosing casters rated 7,501 to 10,000 lb

  1. Load: plan on three casters carrying a four-caster cart [S2]; casters rated 7,501 to 10,000 lb rated 10,000 lb each then carry about 30,000 lb.
  2. Mount: most casters rated 7,501 to 10,000 lb use a 8-1/2 x 8-1/2 in top plate; 6-1/2 x 7-1/2 in and 6-1/4 x 7-1/2 in plates are listed too; measure bolt hole centers on the old plate and compare.
  3. Floor: on casters rated 7,501 to 10,000 lb, polyurethane and rubber are kinder to tile and finished floors; steel, forged steel, cast iron, nylon and phenolic roll easier under heavy loads on smooth concrete.
  4. Rig: swivel and rigid casters rated 7,501 to 10,000 lb are listed.
  5. Heat: among casters rated 7,501 to 10,000 lb, the highest listed range is up to 800°F on forged steel; check the temperature field on each listing before oven or hot-room use.
