Replacement casters and wheels for lumber and panel carts. Polyurethane on cast iron is the main wheel: it carries 1,200 lb at 6 in and 1,400 lb at 8 in and is easy on store floors. Mold-on rubber at 600 lb rolls more quietly, and phenolic at 1,200 to 1,250 lb rolls easily on smooth concrete. Matched sets for 6 and 8 in carts are listed too.

Replacing lumber cart casters

  1. Check the plate. These use a 4 x 4-1/2 in top plate.
  2. Match heights. 6 in casters stand 7-1/2 in and 8 in casters 9-1/2 in, so do not mix sizes at the same corners.
  3. Wheel only? Replacement wheels are listed for 6 and 8 in, but measure the axle and hub length first.
