FP, pneumatic | 250 to 300 lb

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.

Durastar pneumatic wheels

This collection holds FP with pneumatic and rubber treads, made to replace worn wheels on carts, dollies, racks, and equipment. Wheels in this collection range from 250 to 300 lb per wheel. Wheels in this category range from 8 up to 10 inches in diameter with 3 to 3-1/2 in tread widths. Flanged and V groove track wheels ride on rail or angle iron track for straight line travel. Air filled and flat free tires cushion the load and roll over gravel, grass, cracks, and debris. Rubber wheels are quiet, cushion the load, and protect floors. Soft rubber or TPR is the better pick when the floor has chips or grit. Common uses include food service, bakeries, hospitals, schools, laboratories, and material handling carts. Match the bore, hub length, diameter, and tread width before you order. Order the axle and spacers if the old ones are worn. Pneumatic aisle: pneumatic casters. Caster hub: heavy duty casters.
