Ergo X2

This collection holds Ergo X2 casters with ergonomic polyurethane, nylon and Duralast polyurethane wheels, built for heavy equipment, dies, molds, and plant carts that move very heavy loads. Casters in this collection range from 450 to 3,000 lb per caster. Wheels in this category range from 4 up to 8 inches in diameter with a 2 in tread width. The collection includes swivel and rigid models. Ergonomic polyurethane wheels are made to lower push effort, which helps workers move heavy carts by hand. Nylon rolls easily, resists water and many chemicals, and is hard, so it is loud on rough floors. Duralast polyurethane treads are quiet, protect floors, and carry heavy loads with low rolling effort. Match plate size, bolt pattern, and overall height before you order. Choose swivel casters when the cart must turn in place and rigid casters for straight travel. Polyurethane aisle: polyurethane casters. Wheel hub: replacement wheels.
