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.

6" x 3" Casters

Diameter: 6 inTread: 3 inCapacity: up to 3,000 lb

This collection gathers plate-mount casters used on heavy warehouse carts, die carts, and plant fixtures. Expect wheel diameters 6 in and capacities 2,200 to 3,000 lb. Use kingpinless or heavy plate series when shock loads keep shearing kingpin races. When floors see chemicals or washdowns, prefer sealed bearings and non-absorbent wheel compounds. These heavy-duty options cover everyday heavy warehouse carts, die carts, and plant fixtures without jumping to extreme forged series.
