2-11/16″ x 3-5/8″ Plate Casters

This collection holds 2-11/16 in x 3-5/8 in Plate Casters with polyolefin and polyurethane wheels, built for light carts, racks, and stands. Casters in this collection are rated 250 lb per caster. Wheels in this category range from 3-1/2 up to 5 inches in diameter with 1-1/4 to 1.312 in tread widths. The collection includes rigid models. Polyolefin is light, low cost, and resists water and many chemicals. It is hard, so it is loud on rough floors. Polyurethane (poly or urethane) treads are quiet, floor safe, and resist water and many chemicals. Common uses include food service, bakeries, hospitals, schools, laboratories, and material handling carts. Match plate size, bolt pattern, and overall height before you order. Read the listing for the exact wheel size, overall height, and mount shown. Confirm the load rating printed on the title before you order. Measure the old wheel or caster before you buy. Polyolefin aisle: polyolefin casters. Wheel hub: replacement wheels.

Choosing a 2-11/16 x 3-5/8 in plate caster

  • Load: divide the loaded weight by three for a four-caster cart and pick a caster rated at least that much.
  • Wheel material: forged steel and cast iron carry the most but mark and load the floor; polyurethane on iron is quieter and kinder to concrete; nylon and phenolic roll easily on smooth floors; rubber and pneumatic wheels cushion the load on rough ground.
  • Fit: match both the plate size and the bolt-hole spacing. Check overall height too, so the deck stays at the same level.

Questions

How much weight can 2-11/16 x 3-5/8 in plate casters carry?

Ratings on this page run 230 to 325 lb per caster. The highest is 325 lb, a 5 in performa gray rubber caster. For a cart on four casters, divide the loaded weight by three to get the rating each caster needs, so the load is still covered when one caster lifts on an uneven floor.

How do I check that my equipment uses this plate?

Measure the overall plate on your old caster with calipers, then the center-to-center spacing of the bolt holes. Both must match for a bolt-on swap. Hole spacing is listed on each product page.

How fast does this ship?

Same-Day Ship applies to in-stock items ordered by noon CST. Larger casters can ship by freight.
