Office Chair Caster Sets & Kits · 2" and 3" Wheels

This collection holds Office Chair Caster Sets & Kits with nylon, polyurethane and pneumatic wheels, built for shop carts, equipment, and material handling carts that move heavier loads. Casters in this collection range from 15 to 500 lb per caster. Wheels in this category are 16 inches in diameter with a 7 in tread width. The collection includes swivel and brake models. Dual wheel casters split the load over two wheels and swivel with less effort under heavy loads. Nylon rolls easily, resists water and many chemicals, and is hard, so it is loud on rough floors. Polyurethane (poly or urethane) treads are quiet, floor safe, and resist water and many chemicals. Air filled and flat free tires cushion the load and roll over gravel, grass, cracks, and debris. Match the stem size and thread before you order. Read the listing for the exact wheel size, overall height, and mount shown. Nylon aisle: nylon casters. Wheel hub: replacement wheels.

Choosing office chair caster sets

Load: divide the loaded weight by three for a four-caster cart [S2]. Divide each set rating by the number of casters in the set to get the per-caster rating.
Stem: the most common stem on office chair caster sets is 7/16 x 7/8 in; check the old stem with calipers before ordering.
Floor: on office chair caster sets, polyurethane and rubber are kinder to tile and finished floors; nylon rolls easier under heavy loads on smooth concrete.
Rig: swivel office chair caster sets are listed, with side lock brake options.
