What load can 8-inch rubber on steel handle?

Up to 700 lb per caster. A four-caster platform supports up to 2,800 lb total.

Are 8-inch rubber on steel casters good for outdoor use?

They handle smooth outdoor surfaces like asphalt and concrete well. For gravel or rough terrain, consider pneumatic casters instead.

Do these protect floors?

The rubber tread provides floor protection and vibration dampening, though the high loads involved may still mark softer floor surfaces.

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.
