Spring Deflection to 100 lbs.

These light duty spring loaded gate casters fit light carts, racks, and stands. Casters in this collection range from 110 to 140 lb per caster. Wheels are 3 and 4 in hard rubber, TPR, and poly in swivel models. Spring loaded casters absorb shock and help gates and carts stay level on uneven floors. 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 plate size, bolt pattern, and overall height before you order. Read the listing for the exact wheel size, overall height, and mount shown. Confirm the load rating printed on the title before you order. Measure the old wheel or caster before you buy.

Choosing light duty spring-loaded casters

Load: divide the loaded weight by three for a four-caster cart [S2]; at 140 lb each, light duty spring-loaded casters suit a loaded cart of about 420 lb.
Mount: most light duty spring-loaded casters use a 1 x 3-7/16 in top plate; measure bolt hole centers on the old plate and compare.
Floor: on light duty spring-loaded casters, rubber and polyurethane protect finished floors and run quietly; check the rating if the cart also crosses rough concrete.
