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.

8" x 2" Nylon Casters

Diameter: 5, 6, 8 inTread: 2 inCapacity: up to 1,400 lb

This collection gathers plate-mount casters used on chemical, food-contact, and washdown carts. Typical builds show wheel diameters 5, 6, 8 in, nylon treads, and capacities 1,000 to 1,400 lb. Softer treads quiet finished floors; harder compounds last longer on chips, heat, and rough concrete. Replace worn corners in matched sets when possible so the cart tracks straight under load. These medium-duty options cover everyday chemical, food-contact, and washdown carts without jumping to extreme forged series.
