From product fields and titles [S1]. Set ratings are shown on set listings; this table is per caster.
Phenolic is a hard resin wheel that holds its shape near heat and rolls easily on tile and sealed concrete, but it is loud and can chip on broken floors [S2]. Glass-filled nylon and epoxy are the oven-rack choices because they keep their rating at temperatures that would soften rubber. Polyolefin is a one-piece plastic wheel that does not absorb water and shrugs off grease and most cleaning chemicals, which makes it a cold-room and dish-room wheel [S3]. Polyurethane and TPR are the quiet, floor-friendly treads for front-of-house carts and prep tables.

Look at the listed temperature. High-temp phenolic is listed up to 525°F, epoxy at 475°F continuous and 550°F for up to 30 minutes, and glass-filled nylon from 425 to 550°F depending on the model.
Polyolefin wheels are listed down to -40 or -45°F and do not absorb water, so they suit coolers, freezers and wet floors.
Sets for 1-1/2 in ID leg tubing come in 3 and 4 in gray TPR, rubber and total lock versions. Expanding rubber adapters cover other tube sizes.
Single casters here run from 200 to 1,200 lb each. Divide the loaded weight of the equipment by three to size each caster.
