Vintage-look casters and cast iron wheels for factory cart restorations and industrial tables. Semi-steel, cast iron, ductile iron, forged steel and rubber, 3 to 12 in, rated 300 to 20,000 lb.
These are working industrial casters and wheels, not reproductions of antique furniture casters. They suit restored factory carts, coffee tables and kitchen islands built from old carts, and heavy shop equipment.

Product titles and fields [S1]. Ratings are per caster or per wheel.
Plate casters need four bolts through the plate. Check the bolt pattern on the listing against the frame or a mounting block. The 2-3/8 x 3-5/8 in plate suits light tables, and the 4 x 4-1/2 in plate is the common heavy cart size. For a leg with a tapped hole, the 1/2-13 threaded stem casters screw straight in. See caster plate mounting hardware.
A wood coffee table or island needs very little capacity, so the 3 to 5 in semi-steel casters are usually plenty. A rebuilt factory cart with a heavy load should be sized like any industrial cart, with each caster rated for about a third of the total [S2].
More metal wheels: replacement caster wheels. Heavy plate casters: industrial casters.
No. They are current industrial casters with cast iron, semi-steel, ductile iron and forged steel wheels that have the look of old factory cart casters.
They can mark or dent wood, tile and sealed concrete. Use the rubber wheel casters on finished floors.
From 300 lb on 3 to 5 in semi-steel casters up to 20,000 lb on 12 x 4 in forged steel kingpinless casters, per caster.
Yes. Small semi-steel plate casters or 1/2-13 stem casters are the usual choice. Protect the floor or choose rubber.
