All measurements indicate the wheel diameter by the tread width.
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.
Plate dimensions shown are overall mounting plate size.
When replacing existing casters, select the closest plate size and verify bolt-hole compatibility.
BHP = Bolt Hole Pattern, shown under each plate.
Wheel = wheel diameter · capacity is per caster.

Performa soft rubber is quieter and kinder to floors. Harder nylon, phenolic, and solid poly roll easier on debris and carry the top of the band.
Both sit under Colson Group. This hub is Colson Performa / institutional plate. Albion covers heavier industrial plate and kingpinless lines on its own brand page.
