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.

Ductile Steel Casters

Diameter: 4, 5, 6, 8 inTread: 2 inCapacity: up to 2,000 lb

Ductile Steel Casters for heavy warehouse carts, die carts, and plant fixtures. Catalog chips cover wheel diameters 4, 5, 6, 8 in, steel treads, and plate-mount frames. Softer treads quiet finished floors; harder compounds last longer on chips, heat, and rough concrete. When floors see chemicals or washdowns, prefer sealed bearings and non-absorbent wheel compounds. These heavy-duty options cover everyday heavy warehouse carts, die carts, and plant fixtures without jumping to extreme forged series.
