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.

Polyurethane casters here serve warehouse carts on epoxy and smooth concrete. Catalog chips cover wheel diameters 6, 8 in, polyurethane treads, and plate-mount frames. Bring plate and stem measurements when replacing unmarked casters so the new corners sit level. Pair swivel and rigid casters for tracking, or use total locks where the cart must park on a grade. These heavy-duty options cover everyday warehouse carts on epoxy and smooth concrete without jumping to extreme forged series.

ForgeMaster Caster Series with Ergo-Glide XT Wheels

The new Ergo-Glide XT is your best choice among polyurethane wheels for extra heavy loads in environments where cushioning, quiet operation, and/or debris rejection are top priorities. The Ergo-Glide XT is essentially the “big brother” of our popular Ergo-Glide wheels and both are the top poly performers in repelling foreign objects and debris. Factory personnel will also benefit from this wheel’s quiet ride to reduce noise.

The ‘XT’ stands for “Extra Thick” or 1” thick of our quietest rolling polyurethane. The 1” thick tread boasts a higher load capacity than the majority of our polyurethane wheel offerings. The slightly softer 82A urethane combined with the 1” thick tread also allow the wheel to roll over obstacles more easily as the tread will tend to conform to the obstacle rather than roll up and over it.
