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.

10" x 3" Nylon Casters

Plate sizes: 5 x 7-1/4, 5-1/4 x 7-1/4Bolt holes: 3-3/8 x 5-1/4 slotted to 4-1/8 x 6-1/8Diameter: 10 inTread: 3 inCapacity: up to 5,400 lb

Match a 5 x 7-1/4 top plate when bolting casters under chemical, food-contact, and washdown carts. Expect wheel diameters 10 in, nylon treads, and capacities 5,400 lb. Replace worn corners in matched sets when possible so the cart tracks straight under load. Larger plates spread bolt stress on thick frames under continuous tow abuse. Use kingpinless or heavy plate series when shock loads keep shearing kingpin races.
