Diameter: 4, 5, 6, 8 inTread: 2 inCapacity: up to 1,250 lb
This collection gathers plate-mount casters used on warehouse carts on epoxy and smooth concrete. Catalog chips cover wheel diameters 4, 5, 6, 8 in, polyurethane treads, and capacities 1,250 lb. When floors see chemicals or washdowns, prefer sealed bearings and non-absorbent wheel compounds. Harder poly rolls easier on smooth epoxy; softer poly cushions vibration on uneven slabs. These medium-duty options cover everyday warehouse carts on epoxy and smooth concrete without jumping to extreme forged series.
