Advantco Casters · 3"–5" · 275–300 lb · Rubber

This collection holds Advantco Casters with rubber, polyolefin and polyurethane wheels, built for light carts, racks, and stands. Casters in this collection range from 275 to 300 lb per caster. Wheels in this category range from 3 up to 5 inches in diameter with a 1-1/4 in tread width. The collection includes swivel and brake models. Rubber wheels are quiet, cushion the load, and protect floors. Polyolefin is light, low cost, and resists water and many chemicals. It is hard, so it is loud on rough floors. Polyurethane (poly or urethane) treads are quiet, floor safe, and resist water and many chemicals. Soft rubber or TPR is the better pick when the floor has chips or grit. Common uses include food service, bakeries, hospitals, schools, laboratories, and material handling carts. Match plate size, bolt pattern, and overall height before you order. Read the listing for the exact wheel size, overall height, and mount shown. Rubber aisle: rubber casters. Wheel hub: replacement wheels.

Choosing casters in this Advantco collection

  1. Load: divide the loaded weight by three for a four-caster cart [S2]. A 300 lb caster from this page then suits about 900 lb, and the strongest at 300 lb about 900 lb.
  2. Mount: most casters in this Advantco collection use a 1-1/4 x 3 in top plate; 1-1/4 x 4 in and 1-1/4 x 5 in plates are listed too; measure bolt hole centers on the old plate and compare.
  3. Floor: on casters in this Advantco collection, rubber is kinder to tile and finished floors; polyolefin rolls easier under heavy loads on smooth concrete.
  4. Rig: swivel casters in this Advantco collection are listed, with top lock brake options.
