Toolbox Casters

These toolbox caster sets are plate-mount kits for roll cabinets, gang boxes, and shop carts. Sets in this collection range from about 800 to 5,000 lb per set of four on verified titles. Wheel diameters run about 3 to 8 in with polyurethane (poly or urethane), phenolic, and solid poly treads. Most kits mix swivel and rigid plates, and many include a brake on two corners. Soft polyurethane is the better pick when the shop floor has chips or grit. Match plate bolt pattern and overall height to your cabinet before you place your order today. Read the listing for the exact set makeup and total rating shown. Confirm the rating on the listing before you buy. Keep the load on the rating printed for that SKU. Capacities below are per set of four unless a listing says per caster. Broader cart aisle: cart casters. Bare poly wheels: polyurethane wheels.

Tread trade-offs

  • Polyurethane: floor protection and quieter roll on finished concrete; the bulk of the 5,000 lb sets.
  • Phenolic / polyolefin: harder roll, strong outdoors and in oil or sun where soft poly can suffer.
  • TPR / rubber: quieter and kinder to floors at lower set ratings.
  • Semi-steel: max load on rough floors; can mark or dent soft floors.

Brake layouts

  • 2 swivel + 2 rigid for long straight pushes.
  • Swivel with side brake when you only need a wheel lock.
  • Total lock when both wheel and swivel must freeze (see the locking casters hub).

Toolbox caster questions

Are capacities per set or per caster?

Almost every listing here is a set of 4 with the lb figure for the full set. A few individual total-lock casters show per-caster ratings near 1,250 lb. Read the title.

What plate fits most pro tool chests?

Many professional roll cabinets use a 2-3/8 x 3-5/8 in plate with 5 in x 1-1/4 in wheels. Measure your bolt holes before ordering. Job boxes often use the larger 4 x 4-1/2 in plate.

Polyurethane or phenolic for a jobsite box?

Polyurethane for indoor floors and quieter roll. Phenolic or polyolefin when the box sits in sun, oil, or wet concrete for long stretches.

Do I need total lock?

Use total lock when the chest must not roll or swivel on a ramp or trailer deck. A standard brake only stops the wheel.

Job box and gang box replacements

Job site boxes take impact and rough ground, so match the plate and pick a tread that suits the floor. For Jobox jobsite boxes on a 4 x 4-1/2 in plate, see Jobox jobsite casters. For other boxes, measure the plate and bolt hole centers before ordering.

Replacing a caster you already have? Send photos with the plate size and bolt hole centers (the bolt pattern identifier helps), check the OEM cross-reference, or ask an engineer for a quote within 4 business hours. Free 3D CAD (STEP) is in the CAD Builder.

More questions

Do you have replacement casters for job boxes?
