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.

5" x 2" Forged Steel Casters

Diameter: 5, 6 inTread: 2 inCapacity: up to 2,500 lb

This collection gathers plate-mount casters used on heavy warehouse carts, die carts, and plant fixtures. You will see wheel diameters 5, 6 in, steel treads, and capacities 2,000 to 2,500 lb across the SKUs listed below. Use kingpinless or heavy plate series when shock loads keep shearing kingpin races. Match bolt-hole spacing or stem diameter to the frame before you standardize a fleet.

Wheel = wheel diameter · capacity is per caster.

Spinfinity ZFWH Caster Series with Forged Steel Wheels

Forging technology produces the ultimate tensile strength in industrial wheels. Coupled with solid billet design, this makes Hamilton Forged Steel Wheels virtually indestructible. Consequently, load limits are governed by bearing capacity.

Wheel treads are machined smooth and concentric, with a slight crown that lessens energy requirements by aiding turnability under heavy loads.
