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.

Cast iron and steel casters here serve V-groove track and guided rail systems. Typical builds show wheel diameters 8 in, cast iron and steel treads, and industrial frames. For dual-wheel or wide treads, check fork clearance and swivel radius in tight aisles. Use kingpinless or heavy plate series when shock loads keep shearing kingpin races. These heavy-duty options cover everyday V-groove track and guided rail systems without jumping to extreme forged series.
