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.

Diameter: 3-1/2, 4, 5 inTread: 1-1/4 inCapacity: up to 300 lb

This collection gathers plate-mount casters used on light institutional and furniture-grade frames. You will see wheel diameters 3-1/2, 4, 5 in and capacities 250 to 300 lb across the SKUs listed below. When floors see chemicals or washdowns, prefer sealed bearings and non-absorbent wheel compounds. Pair swivel and rigid casters for tracking, or use total locks where the cart must park on a grade. These light-duty options cover everyday light institutional and furniture-grade frames without jumping to extreme forged series.
