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.

Steel casters here serve heavy warehouse carts, die carts, and plant fixtures. Expect wheel diameters 8 in, steel treads, and plate-mount frames. When floors see chemicals or washdowns, prefer sealed bearings and non-absorbent wheel compounds. Confirm stem length and thread pitch on stem mounts so the shoulder seats flush in the boss. These heavy-duty options cover everyday heavy warehouse carts, die carts, and plant fixtures without jumping to extreme forged series.
