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.

Machined Steel Wheel Casters · Maximum Capacity & Durability

Diameter: 4 inTread: 2 inCapacity: up to 2,500 lb

Machined Steel Wheel Casters · for heavy warehouse carts, die carts, and plant fixtures. Typical builds show wheel diameters 4 in, steel treads, and industrial frames. For dual-wheel or wide treads, check fork clearance and swivel radius in tight aisles. Bring plate and stem measurements when replacing unmarked casters so the new corners sit level. These heavy-duty options cover everyday heavy warehouse carts, die carts, and plant fixtures without jumping to extreme forged series.

Machined Steel Wheel Casters: buying guide

Machined solid steel is the top of the metal-wheel range — the maximum weight capacity, impact strength, and durability of any caster wheel. Where ductile and forged steel reach their limits, machined steel keeps going. The spec for the most extreme metal-wheel applications: foundry, forge, steel mill, and rail.
