Shopping Cart Casters, Wheels & Axles · 200–250 lb

These shopping cart casters and wheels fit light carts, racks, and stands. Casters in this collection range from 200 to 250 lb per caster. Wheels are 5 x 1-1/4 polyurethane, soft rubber, and TPR in swivel models. Solid polyurethane (poly or urethane) is quiet, floor safe, and resists water and many chemicals. Softer polyurethane or soft rubber or TPR tread is the better pick when the floor has chips or grit. Common uses include food service, bakeries, hospitals, schools, laboratories, and material handling carts. Threaded stem, grip-ring, and expanding rubber stems for round and square tubing all appear on light-duty builds. Match the stem size and thread before you order. Choose swivel casters when the cart must turn in place and rigid casters for straight travel. Read the listing for the exact wheel size, overall height, and mount shown. Polyurethane wheel aisle: polyurethane wheels. Light duty hub: light duty casters.

Before you order

  1. Count the fleet: four wheels per cart; a 100-pack re-wheels 25 carts.
  2. Check the fork: a bent fork or gritty swivel needs a full caster, not a wheel.
  3. Floor: soft rubber and TPR run quieter on store tile; polyurethane lasts longer on parking lots.
