Frequently Asked Questions

What are the wheel dimensions and bore?+

5/16" diameter x 2-1/4" tread width. Verify your axle diameter and hub/bore length against your existing wheel before ordering.

Can this wheel be supplied in a caster rig?+

Yes. Most wheels can be paired with a swivel or rigid rig to build a complete caster. Tell us your mount and load and we will spec the rig - request it on our bulk pricing page.

What temperature range is it rated for?+

Rated for -20°F to 180°F. Operating outside the rated range can shorten wheel life and reduce capacity.

How do I order, and what are the terms?+

We accept purchase orders and offer Net 30 on approved accounts, ACH, and all major cards, plus tax-exempt ordering with a resale or exemption certificate. Volume discounts apply automatically; request a bulk quote for large or recurring orders.
