8" x 2" Phenolic Casters

These 8 in phenolic wheel casters fit shop carts, equipment, and material handling carts that move heavier loads. Casters in this collection range from 800 to 1,250 lb per caster. Wheels are 8 x 2 in swivel, rigid, and brake models. Phenolic handles dry heat, oil, and grease, but it is not made for water or washdown. Sets of 4 show the combined set rating on the title, so divide by 4 for the per caster load. Phenolic rolls easily on smooth floors and handles heat, oil, and grease. It is hard, so it is loud on rough floors. Match the 4 x 4-1/2 in plate, bolt pattern, and overall height before you order. Choose swivel casters when the cart must turn in place, rigid casters for straight travel, and add a brake when the cart needs to stay put. Read the listing for the exact wheel size, overall height, and mount shown. Phenolic aisle: phenolic casters. Plate aisle: plate casters.
