Durastar high-temperature glass-filled nylon wheels

This collection holds TMA with nylon treads, made to replace worn wheels on carts, dollies, racks, and equipment. Wheels in this collection range from 700 to 1,400 lb per wheel. Wheels in this category range from 4 up to 8 inches in diameter with 1-1/4 to 2 in tread widths. Nylon rolls easily, resists water and many chemicals, and is hard, so it is loud on rough floors. Match the bore, hub length, diameter, and tread width before you order. Order the axle and spacers if the old ones are worn. 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. Check the floor type and the heaviest load the cart will carry before you choose. Brakes help on ramps. Nylon aisle: nylon casters. Caster hub: heavy duty casters.
