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.
Capacity shown is per caster (per wheel for wheels).
























Total lock casters lock the wheel and the swivel with one pedal. Light 3 to 5 in plate and stem models rated 180 to 350 lb, and heavy 4 to 8 x 2 in models rated 700 to 1,250 lb each.

Product titles and fields [S1]. Set listings give the total for four casters.
A common layout is two total lock swivels and two rigids, or four total lock swivels where the cart needs to turn in place. Size each caster for the load divided by three to allow for an uneven floor [S2]. Heavy 2 in tread models on the 4 x 4-1/2 in plate are the step up when a light caster is near its rating.
Stem mounts: threaded stem casters. Polyurethane options: polyurethane casters.
A caster whose brake locks both the wheel and the swivel, so the caster cannot roll or turn.
On this page, 180 to 350 lb for 3 to 5 in light models and 700 to 1,250 lb for 4 to 8 x 2 in heavy models. Sets of four run up to 5,000 lb.
Yes. Several 3 to 5 in models use a 1/2-13 threaded stem.
For carts and tables that must not move at all, yes. A wheel lock still lets the caster swivel.
