This collection holds Speed casters with polyurethane and rubber wheels, built for heavy equipment, dies, molds, and plant carts that move very heavy loads. Casters in this collection range from 2,600 to 15,000 lb per caster. Wheels in this category range from 9 up to 18 inches in diameter with 5 to 9 in tread widths. The collection includes swivel and rigid models. Kingpinless swivels hold up better under shock and repeat loads. Dual wheel casters split the load over two wheels and swivel with less effort under heavy loads. Polyurethane (poly or urethane) treads are quiet, floor safe, and resist water and many chemicals. Rubber wheels are quiet, cushion the load, and protect floors. Soft rubber or TPR 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. Polyurethane aisle: polyurethane casters. Wheel hub: replacement wheels.
