When should I use 6-inch rubber on nylon?

Choose 6-inch when rolling over rough floors in kitchens, processing plants, or warehouses where both corrosion resistance and high load capacity are needed.

Are these FDA-compliant?

The materials are suitable for food service environments. Check specific product details for compliance certifications.

How do these compare to stainless steel casters?

Rubber on nylon provides corrosion resistance at a lower cost than stainless steel, with the added benefit of shock absorption from the rubber tread.

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.
