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.

8" x 2" Stainless Steel Wheels

Diameter: 8 inTread: 2 inCapacity: up to 16,000 lb

Steel and stainless casters here serve forging carts, aerospace fixtures, and multi-ton movers. You will see wheel diameters 8 in, steel and stainless treads, and industrial frames across the SKUs listed below. When floors see chemicals or washdowns, prefer sealed bearings and non-absorbent wheel compounds. Softer treads quiet finished floors; harder compounds last longer on chips, heat, and rough concrete.
