Fixture & Display Casters and Wheels

This collection holds Fixture & Display Casters and Wheels with polyurethane, rubber and polyolefin wheels, built for shop carts, equipment, and material handling carts that move heavier loads. Casters in this collection range from 80 to 800 lb per caster. Wheels in this category range from 2 up to 5 inches in diameter with 1 to 2-3/8 in tread widths. The collection includes swivel and brake models. Dual wheel casters split the load over two wheels and swivel with less effort under heavy loads. Polyurethane (poly or urethane) treads are quiet, floor safe, and resist water and many chemicals. 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. Soft rubber or TPR is the better pick when the floor has chips or grit. Match the stem size and thread before you order. Polyurethane aisle: polyurethane casters. Wheel hub: replacement wheels.

Choosing fixture & display casters and wheels

Load: plan on three casters carrying a four-caster cart [S2]; at 300 lb each, a common rating here, that is about 900 lb, and the 800 lb top rating covers about 2,400 lb.
Stem: the most common stem on fixture & display casters and wheels is 1 in; 7/8 in and 3/8-16 x 1 in also appear; measure thread size and length, or the tube inside diameter, on the old caster.
Floor: on fixture & display casters and wheels, rubber and polyurethane are kinder to tile and finished floors; polyolefin, phenolic and nylon roll easier under heavy loads on smooth concrete.
Rig: swivel fixture & display casters and wheels are listed, with side lock brake and top lock brake options.
