What is glass-filled nylon?

Glass-filled nylon is a lightweight, corrosion-resistant composite stronger than standard nylon. It resists moisture, chemicals, and rust — ideal for washdown environments.

Are these good for food service?

Yes. The nylon core resists corrosion from cleaning chemicals and moisture, making these excellent for commercial kitchens and food processing.

How are rubber on nylon different from TPR?

Rubber on nylon offers a true rubber tread on a composite core, providing better chemical resistance than polypropylene-core TPR casters.

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.

4" x 2" Stainless Steel Casters

Plate sizes: 4 x 4-1/2Bolt holes: 2-5/8 x 3-3/8 slotted to 3 x 3Diameter: 4 inTread: 2 inCapacity: up to 400 lb

Match a 4 x 4-1/2 top plate when bolting casters under chemical, food-contact, and washdown carts. You will see wheel diameters 4 in, nylon, rubber, and steel treads, and capacities 400 lb across the SKUs listed below. Nylon resists moisture uptake and many chemicals on food and pharma carts. Size capacity from the heaviest corner load with shock margin, and keep overall height consistent across the set.
