This collection holds Colson Hollow Kingpin Casters with polyurethane and polyolefin wheels, built for light carts, racks, and stands. Casters in this collection range from 210 to 300 lb per caster. Wheels in this category range from 3 up to 5 inches in diameter with 1 to 1.312 in tread widths. The collection includes swivel and brake models. Polyurethane (poly or urethane) treads are quiet, floor safe, and resist water and many chemicals. Polyolefin is light, low cost, and resists water and many chemicals. It is hard, so it is loud on rough floors. 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. Confirm the load rating printed on the title before you order. Polyurethane aisle: polyurethane casters. Wheel hub: replacement wheels.
