PT Series: Why B&P Welds the Deck on Heavy-Duty Platform Trucks

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.

Before you order

Replacement parts among B&P welded platform trucks fit specific models; match the model number on the old part or truck.

On B&P welded platform trucks, check the rated load and the wheel type: pneumatic wheels ride softer on rough ground, solid or flat-free wheels never need air.
