Caster Identification & Replacement Matching Service

Remote & Nationwide · No Site Visit Required

Submit photos, measurements, mounting details, and load requirements, and CasterHQ identifies or matches the right replacement caster or wheel. Available nationwide, no part number needed.

Caster identification and replacement matching is a remote service: submit photos, measurements, mounting details, load requirements, and application information, and CasterHQ helps identify or match the correct replacement caster or wheel. Available nationwide with no site visit required.

Problems We Solve

  • An unknown caster failed and there is no part number
  • The original caster is discontinued and needs a cross-reference
  • Replacements keep arriving that don't fit the mount
  • Mixed casters across a fleet with no standard part
  • Wrong wheel material that marks floors, drags, or wears fast

How Caster Matching Works

  • Submit photos and measurements through our contact form or by email
  • We identify the mount, wheel, and capacity class
  • We match a current caster or wheel that fits and performs
  • You receive a quoted, PO-ready replacement specification
  • Optional: we standardize the match across similar equipment

Required Photo Angles

  • Straight-on side view of the full caster
  • Top-down view of the mounting plate or stem
  • Close-up of the wheel tread and any markings
  • A tape measure in-frame for scale on the wheel and plate

Measurements Needed

Dimension How to measure Why it matters
Wheel diameter Across the wheel, edge to edge Sets ride height and capacity class
Wheel width Across the tread face Affects capacity and floor contact
Mounting type Plate, threaded stem, grip ring, expanding Determines how it attaches
Plate size + bolt pattern Overall plate L x W and hole spacing Must match for bolt-for-bolt fit
Stem size Thread (e.g. 1/2-13, 3/8-16) and length Must match the receiver
Load per caster Total load ÷ number of casters Sets minimum capacity rating
Floor type Concrete, epoxy, tile, outdoor Drives wheel material choice

Stem vs Plate Matching

Plate casters match by overall plate size and bolt-hole pattern. Stem casters match by thread size, stem length, and retaining-ring spacing. Send the mount photo and one measurement set and we confirm the fit before you buy.

Wheel Material & Floor Matching

We match tread to the floor and duty: polyurethane for capacity and non-marking, rubber or TPR for quiet and grip, phenolic for heat and heavy load, stainless rigs for washdown. See our caster wheels for the full range.

What Happens After Submission

  • We confirm the identification or matched specification
  • You receive a quote and PO-ready part list
  • We flag standardization opportunities for repeat orders
  • For larger fleets, we connect you to bulk replacement planning

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you identify a caster from a photo?

Often yes, especially with a clear side and top photo plus a couple of measurements. Markings on the wheel or rig help, but we can match by dimensions even when there is no part number.

What if the original caster is discontinued?

We cross-reference to a current caster that matches the mount, capacity, and wheel so it fits and performs like the original, or better.

Do I need exact measurements?

Approximate is fine to start. Wheel diameter and width, mount type, and a load estimate get us close; we confirm exact fit before you order.

Is this service available nationwide?

Yes. Caster identification and replacement matching is remote and available nationwide. No site visit is required.

Can you standardize the match across our equipment?

Yes. Once we match one, we can build a standard replacement spec across similar assets. See our caster standardization program.
