Data Center Casters for Server Rack Mobility · 2"–6" · 210–10,000 lb · Rubber & Nylon

Diameter: 2 to 8 inCapacity: 210 to 10,000 lb per casterIncludes leveling casters

Casters and leveling casters for server racks, network cabinets, UPS and battery carts. Leveling casters roll a rack into place, then lower a foot so it will not move. Heavier options include Hamilton polyurethane and Albion kingpinless casters, and a Colson conductive Performa caster is listed for static control.

Choosing for a rack

Weigh the loaded rack, including servers, batteries and cabling, and divide by three for a four-caster base [S1].
Check the floor. Raised floor tiles have point load limits; a wider polyurethane tread spreads the load.
Plan to park it. Leveling casters or brakes stop a rack drifting when doors are opened.

Static control

A conductive caster gives static a path to a grounded floor. It only works if the floor itself is conductive and grounded. The Colson Performa conductive caster here is rated 250 lb.

Leveling casters, so the rack can be rolled in and then set on feet. Size them to the loaded weight.

How much weight do these casters hold?

From 210 to 10,000 lb per caster on this page.

Do I need conductive casters?

Only if your floor is conductive and grounded for static control. A conductive Colson Performa caster is listed here.
