Grip Ring Casters

This collection holds Grip Ring Casters with TPR wheels, built for light carts, racks, and stands. Casters in this collection range from 110 to 165 lb per caster. Wheels in this category are 3 inches in diameter with a 0.94 in tread width. The collection includes swivel and brake models. Dual wheel casters split the load over two wheels and swivel with less effort under heavy loads. Thermoplastic rubber (TPR) is quiet, will not mark floors, and rolls over chips and grit. 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 plate size, bolt pattern, and overall height before you order. Read the listing for the exact wheel size, overall height, and mount shown. Confirm the load rating printed on the title before you order. TPR aisle: tpr casters. Wheel hub: replacement wheels.
