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 1-1/2" Casters

Diameter: 4 inTread: 1-1/2 inCapacity: up to 300 lb

4" x 1-1/2" Casters for light institutional and furniture-grade frames. Catalog chips cover wheel diameters 4 in, plate-mount frames, and capacities 300 lb. Softer treads quiet finished floors; harder compounds last longer on chips, heat, and rough concrete. When floors see chemicals or washdowns, prefer sealed bearings and non-absorbent wheel compounds. These light-duty options cover everyday light institutional and furniture-grade frames without jumping to extreme forged series.
