Choosing light duty casters on a 2-3/8 x 3-5/8 in plate

  1. Load: divide the loaded weight by three for a four-caster cart [S2]. A 350 lb caster from this page then suits about 1,050 lb, and the strongest at 350 lb about 1,050 lb.
  2. Mount: most light duty casters on a 2-3/8 x 3-5/8 in plate use a 2-3/8 x 3-5/8 in top plate; measure bolt hole centers on the old plate and compare.
  3. Floor: on light duty casters on a 2-3/8 x 3-5/8 in plate, rubber and polyurethane are kinder to tile and finished floors; phenolic, semi-steel and nylon roll easier under heavy loads on smooth concrete.
  4. Rig: swivel and rigid light duty casters on a 2-3/8 x 3-5/8 in plate are listed, with side lock brake and total lock brake options.
  5. Heat: among light duty casters on a 2-3/8 x 3-5/8 in plate, the highest listed range is -45°F to 600°F on semi-steel; check the temperature field on each listing before oven or hot-room use.
