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.
Wheel = wheel diameter · capacity is per caster.























Specialty casters for problems a standard plate caster cannot handle: spring loaded for shock, ergonomic for push force, pneumatic for rough ground, kingpinless for impact, dual wheel for heavy turning and V-groove for track.

No. Heavy duty is a capacity / duty parent. Specialty is problem-type: spring, kingpinless, pneumatic, track, and similar. Overlap exists; use the hub that matches how you search.
Specialty mixes light stems and forged kingpinless on one parent page. Use the number on the listing you pick, not the page max, when sizing a cart.
