All measurements indicate the wheel diameter by the tread width.
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.
Plate dimensions shown are overall mounting plate size.
When replacing existing casters, select the closest plate size and verify bolt-hole compatibility.
BHP = Bolt Hole Pattern, shown under each plate.
Wheel = wheel diameter · capacity is per caster.

Product fields and descriptions [S1].
Overall height is the distance from the floor to the top of the mounting plate or the base of the stem. A low caster keeps a cabinet, copier or display at the height it was designed for, sits under a toe kick, and lowers the center of gravity so tall furniture is steadier to move.
Plate models use a 2-5/8 x 3-3/4 in plate with a 1-3/4 x 2-3/4 in bolt pattern on the Shepherd line [S1]. Stem models come in 1/2-13 threaded stems and 7/16 x 1-3/8 in grip ring stems for wood and tube sockets. See threaded stem casters and sockets and T-nuts.
The lowest is a 1-7/16 in Shepherd caster at 2-3/16 in overall height. Most 2 in models are 2-3/4 to 2-15/16 in tall.
From 135 lb on small dual wheel models up to 800 lb on the 3 x 1-3/4 in nylon and phenolic casters.
Yes. Several Shepherd models have a side lock brake, and two dual wheel models have total lock brakes.
1/2-13 threaded stems in 1 and 1-1/2 in lengths and 7/16 x 1-3/8 in grip ring stems.
