Durastar 30 series polyurethane casters

This collection holds Polyurethane On Glass Filled Nylon Mu 10mm Thick Tread casters, built for shop carts, equipment, and material handling carts that move heavier loads. Casters in this collection range from 800 to 1,250 lb per caster. Wheels in this category range from 4 up to 8 inches in diameter with a 2 in tread width. The collection includes swivel and rigid models. Polyurethane (poly or urethane) treads are quiet, floor safe, and resist water and many chemicals. Nylon rolls easily, resists water and many chemicals, and is hard, so it is loud on rough floors. Softer polyurethane or soft rubber or TPR tread is the better pick when the floor has chips or grit. Match plate size, bolt pattern, and overall height before you order. Choose swivel casters when the cart must turn in place and rigid casters for straight travel.
