X05 Series

This collection holds X05 Series casters with polyurethane, polyolefin and nylon wheels, built for shop carts, equipment, and material handling carts that move heavier loads. Casters in this collection range from 500 to 1,000 lb per caster. Wheels in this category are 3 inches in diameter with a 1 in tread width. The collection includes swivel models. Polyurethane (poly or urethane) treads are quiet, floor safe, and resist water and many chemicals. Polyolefin is light, low cost, and resists water and many chemicals. It is hard, so it is loud on rough floors. Nylon rolls easily, resists water and many chemicals, and is hard, so it is loud on rough floors. Match plate size, bolt pattern, and overall height before you order. Read the listing for the exact wheel size, overall height, and mount shown. Confirm the load rating printed on the title before you order. Polyurethane aisle: polyurethane casters. Wheel hub: replacement wheels.
