This collection gathers plate-mount casters used on bake carts, metalworking fixtures, and debris-heavy floors. Catalog chips cover wheel diameters 3-1/4 to 8 in, polyurethane, phenolic, and steel treads, and capacities 450 to 2,000 lb. Size capacity from the heaviest corner load with shock margin, and keep overall height consistent across the set. Bring plate and stem measurements when replacing unmarked casters so the new corners sit level.

Heavy Service HS Series Casters: buying guide

What 'heavy service' actually means

Heavy service isn't about peak capacity — it's about sustained abuse. The HS Series targets carts and equipment that run continuously under heavy load on imperfect floors: the manufacturing rigs, the warehouse workhorses, the shop equipment that never gets a break. The rigging is heavier and the bearings tougher than a general-service line because the failure mode here is wear-out from cycle count, not a single overload.

HS Series construction

Heavier-gauge rigging, roller bearings through the range, and wheel options matched to rough-floor and high-cycle duty — cast iron and polyurethane-on-iron for the punishing applications. Capacity to 2,000 lb covers heavy carts and light machine bases that still need to move regularly.

Common questions

Heavy Service vs General Service?

General Service is everyday moderate duty. Heavy Service is built for genuinely punishing cycles — heavier rigging, tougher bearings, higher capacity to 2,000 lb.

What's the failure mode HS Series protects against?

Wear-out from sustained high-cycle heavy use on rough floors — not a single overload. The construction is tuned for endurance.

Is there a dual-wheel Heavy Service option?

Yes — the HS2 dual-wheel series reaches 3,000 lb for even heavier sustained duty.
