6″ x 7-1/2″ Plate Casters

This collection holds 6 in x 7-1/2 in Plate Casters with forged steel and nylon wheels, built for heavy equipment, dies, molds, and plant carts that move very heavy loads. Casters in this collection range from 5,500 to 10,000 lb per caster. Wheels in this category range from 6 up to 10 inches in diameter with 3 to 4 in tread widths. The collection includes rigid models. Kingpinless swivels hold up better under shock and repeat loads. Forged steel wheels carry very heavy loads and handle impact, debris, and heat. They are loud and will mark finished floors. Nylon rolls easily, resists water and many chemicals, and is hard, so it is loud on rough floors. Match plate size, bolt pattern, and overall height before you order. Read the listing for the exact wheel size, overall height, and mount shown. Forged steel aisle: forged steel casters. Wheel hub: replacement wheels.

Choosing a 6 x 7-1/2 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 6 x 7-1/2 in plate casters carry?

Ratings on this page run 5,500 to 10,000 lb per caster. The highest is 10,000 lb, a 6 in forged steel 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.
