Light Duty Plate Casters (3-1/8" × 4-1/8")

POPULAR LIGHT-DUTY PLATE FORMAT

Light-duty swivel and rigid plate casters built around the common 3-1/8" × 4-1/8" top plate footprint. Frequently specified for carts, fixtures, and equipment bases where consistent mounting dimensions and dependable rolling performance matter.

Select a wheel type below to match floor conditions, noise requirements, washdown/cleaning needs, and service life targets.

Standard Configuration Envelope

Light duty plate caster mounting plate 3-1/8 x 4-1/8 inches, capacity up to 350 lb per caster, wheel options thermo rubber, poly on poly, phenolic, polyolefin, solid poly, and high temp nylon.

  • Mounting Plate: 3-1/8" × 4-1/8"
  • Rated Load Capacity: Up to 350 lb per caster (model dependent)
  • Mounting Styles: Swivel · rigid · brake options (model dependent)
  • Wheel Diameters: Commonly in light-duty ranges (varies by model)
  • Wheel Configurations: Thermo Rubber · Poly on Poly · Phenolic · Polyolefin · Solid Poly · High Temp Nylon
  • Standards & Compliance: ANSI-tested designs · ICWM dimensional standards · NSF-listed models · RoHS-compliant materials · ISO 9001:2015 manufacturing partners
Selection tip: Ratings are per caster under ideal conditions. If your cart crosses joints, thresholds, debris, ramps, or sees impacts, increase wheel diameter or step up one duty class to reduce push force and improve service life.

Selection Guidance

How to confirm replacement fit
  • Confirm plate size is 3-1/8" × 4-1/8" and verify hole spacing/slotting by model
  • Match overall height and wheel diameter to maintain clearance
  • Check swivel clearance near frame edges, welds, and gussets
  • Confirm brake type (side brake / total lock) if required
Wheel material quick-choose (no fluff)
  • Thermo Rubber: quieter and floor-friendly for indoor use
  • Poly on Poly: durable all-poly option for many carts
  • Phenolic: hard wheel, low rolling resistance on smooth floors
  • Polyolefin: lightweight and chemical resistant; common utility choice
  • Solid Poly: tough, durable solid poly for industrial carts
  • High Temp Nylon: heat-capable option; verify temperature rating by model
When to step up in duty class
  • Frequent threshold/joint crossings
  • Dynamic loading, impacts, or ramp transitions
  • Continuous duty where push force must stay low

FAQ

What are 3-1/8" × 4-1/8" plate casters used for?
Common for light-duty carts, fixtures, and equipment bases requiring a widely used plate footprint and dependable rolling performance.
How much weight can these casters support?
Up to 350 lb per caster depending on wheel material, bearing, and diameter. Real capacity decreases with impacts, debris, ramps, and uneven loading.
Which wheel type should I choose?
For indoor quiet rolling choose thermo rubber. For durable all-around use choose poly on poly or solid poly. For low rolling resistance on smooth floors choose phenolic. For chemical resistance choose polyolefin. For heat applications choose high temp nylon (verify rating).
