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.

Casters on the 4-1/2 x 6-1/4 plate pattern suit warehouse carts, racks, and everyday plant fixtures. Typical builds show wheel diameters 8 in, steel treads, and capacities 1,500 lb. Size capacity from the heaviest corner load with shock margin, and keep overall height consistent across the set. Softer treads quiet finished floors; harder compounds last longer on chips, heat, and rough concrete. These medium-duty options cover everyday warehouse carts, racks, and everyday plant fixtures without jumping to extreme forged series.
