Match a 4 x 4-1/2 top plate when bolting casters under warehouse carts on epoxy and smooth concrete. You will see wheel diameters 4, 5, 6, 8 in, polyurethane and steel treads, and capacities 1,000 to 5,000 lb across the SKUs listed below. Pair swivel and rigid casters for tracking, or use total locks where the cart must park on a grade.

Orange Sirius Heavy Duty “Donut” Polyurethane on Aluminum Swivel Casters

Sirius heavy duty donut polyurethane on aluminum casters are engineered for high-capacity material handling in wash-down and corrosion-prone environments. The aluminum core resists rust and reduces wheel weight, while the polyurethane tread delivers floor protection and lower rolling resistance.

Wheel diameters
4"–8" (series-dependent)
Typical load range
Up to ~1,250 lbs per caster (varies by size/config)
Best environments
Wet, wash-down, chemical exposure, corrosion risk
Key limitation
Not intended for high-impact / shock-load abuse

Engineering guidance

Why specify polyurethane on aluminum
  • Aluminum core: corrosion resistance for wash-down and chemical exposure
  • Polyurethane tread: non-marking floor protection with smoother roll than rubber
  • Lower rolling resistance: supports ergonomic push/pull performance on smooth floors
When to choose a different wheel/core
  • Impact / shock loading: consider tougher cores and wheel constructions designed for abuse
  • Rough floors / debris: consider tread profiles and materials optimized for obstacles and seams
  • Powered towing: specify a solution designed for continuous towing loads and duty cycles
Common applications
  • Food processing and wash-down carts
  • Hospitals, labs, and pharma facilities
  • Industrial material handling where corrosion is a concern
  • Operations targeting reduced push/pull force and floor protection
