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.

8" x 2-1/2" Phenolic Casters

Diameter: 8 inTread: 2-1/2, 3 inCapacity: up to 2,400 lb

This collection gathers plate-mount casters used on bake carts, metalworking fixtures, and debris-heavy floors. Typical builds show wheel diameters 8 in, phenolic treads, and capacities 2,000 to 2,400 lb. Pair swivel and rigid casters for tracking, or use total locks where the cart must park on a grade. Bring plate and stem measurements when replacing unmarked casters so the new corners sit level. These heavy-duty options cover everyday bake carts, metalworking fixtures, and debris-heavy floors without jumping to extreme forged series.
