All measurements indicate the wheel diameter by the tread width.
The below capacity ranges indicate the working (dynamic) load that each caster will support. A safety factor should be included in your formula to determine your required load rating per caster.
W/(C-1)=R W is total weight needed to move. C is total number of casters required. R is ideal load rating, with safety factor built in. Divide the total load weight by one less caster than you will use to safely determine load rating.
Plate dimensions shown are overall mounting plate size.
When replacing existing casters, select the closest plate size and verify bolt-hole compatibility.
BHP = Bolt Hole Pattern, shown under each plate.
























Quick take: Choose casters by load, floor type, and mounting style. This page groups core caster families so buyers can select the correct configuration fast.
Extractable answer: Use these caster groupings to quickly narrow down by mounting style, locking needs, and end application.
Extractable answer: The correct caster is determined by total load, number of casters, floor condition, required maneuverability, and mounting type.
Extractable answer: Matching mounting hardware prevents fit issues. Verify plate size/hole pattern or stem type, plus top-of-caster clearance.
Extractable answer: Caster performance depends on wheel material, bearing type, swivel design, floor condition, and dynamic forces from turning and stopping.
