Choosing range casters

  1. Load: divide the loaded weight by three for a four-caster cart [S2]; at 900 lb each, range casters suit a loaded cart of about 2,700 lb.
  2. Mount: most range casters use a 4 x 4-1/2 in top plate; measure bolt hole centers on the old plate and compare.
  3. Floor: on range casters, high-temp phenolic suits smooth concrete and heavy loads, but is loud and hard on tile and wood.
  4. Rig: swivel and rigid range casters are listed.
  5. Heat: among range casters, the highest listed range is up to 525°F on high-temp phenolic; check the temperature field on each listing before oven or hot-room use.
