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.














Three-wheel dollies, also called tri-wheel, cup or tripod dollies, for moving machines, crates and legged equipment. Cast iron, aluminum, semi-steel and steel models rated 375 to 1,500 lb each, or 1,500 to 6,000 lb per set of four.
| Dolly | Wheels | Per dolly | Set of 4 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9 x 9 x 9 in cast iron | 2 in hard rubber | 375 lb | 1,500 lb |
| 9 x 9 x 9 in cast iron | 2 in nylon | 450 lb | 1,800 lb |
| Aluminum HQ2127-AL | 2 in polyolefin | 600 lb | 2,400 lb |
| 3310 cast semi-steel | 3 in phenolic, to 250°F | 750 lb | 3,000 lb |
| Model 4200 steel, 3/8 in plate base | 4 in cast iron, phenolic or GFPO, swivel | 1,500 lb | 6,000 lb |
From product titles and fields [S1].
Place one dolly under each corner or leg, so the load rides on several dollies at once. The listings note a recessed center that holds legged equipment, and that set ratings assume the weight is spread evenly [S1]. Three wheels on each dolly let it turn in any direction, which helps with long or awkward loads in tight rooms.
For flat moves, see furniture dollies. For crates and machines that need a hand truck, see hand trucks and accessories.
From 375 lb for the cast iron dolly with hard rubber wheels to 1,500 lb for the Model 4200 steel dolly. Sets of four are rated 1,500 to 6,000 lb with the weight spread evenly.
Usually one under each corner or leg, so four for most loads. Divide the load by the number of dollies and keep each under its rating.
Hard rubber is the softest tread here. Nylon, phenolic and cast iron are harder and roll easier on concrete.
