        Option Menu / Upgrades:
          We offer many upgrades to allow you to build the caster exactly how you want. Below you will find a list of options with detailed explanations of each which you can select from the options menu above if you decide on upgrading the caster to suit your needs.

          Mounting Hardware: This is an optional upgrade - to save you time from having to source your own mounting hardware we stock and provide you with the option to buy the hardware from us at a wholesale price. Each set of mounting hardware comes with Carriage Bolts as well as Slotted Drive Hex Steel Thread Cutting Screws and you will really only need to use one when mounting. We provide both options when you order that way it will fit almost 99% of any equipment or carts you decide to use the casters on. Please make sure the 1" length is long enough before selecting this option. The hardware also comes with matching flat washers and lock nuts and everything is zinc plated to prevent rust and corrosion.

          Bearing Options:

          Roller Bearings
          Roller Bearings are the most popular wheel bearing in the industry; Roller Bearings come standard on these wheels if you decide to leave the selection menu blank. Roller Bearings are fantastic for heavier loads as the weight is evenly balanced and distributed through the hub of the wheel. Easy to roll, easy to maintain. Roller Bearings are great at maximizing the capacity of the casters to prolong life as best as possible. These bearings will require periodic grease which can be applied through either our zerk axle that runs through the wheel which comes standard with your order, or the grease fitting that is located in the wheel depending on the wheel type. We recommend lubricating the roller bearings every 6 months for normal use and every month for heavy use if these are used around eat applications.

          Precision Bearings
          Precision bearings reduce the friction of the wheels and are great for smooth and clean floors. These bearings are a two-piece Q34 Sealed Precision Ball Bearing and allow the user to initiate the cart much easier as well as roll smoother and quieter and are completely maintenance-free and do not need to be greased or lubricated.

          Brakes:

          Top Locking Brake:
          These are the most popular and affordable brakes for heavy-duty casters. The on and off lever is located on the side of the caster and when you engage the brake pedal there is a shoe that will engage over the top of the wheel to lock the wheel from spinning. Easy, affordable, simple.

          Total Locking Brakes:
          The total lock brake is a huge upgrade to any swivel caster as it allows the user to engage the brake from the trailing end of the caster while you are rolling the cart or equipment. The total lock brake locks the swivel raceway from rotating and it locks the wheel at the same time all with the press of one lever. This will make any swivel caster completely stationary. A very good upgrade!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the load capacity of this caster?+

This 3-1/4" x 2" Phenolic Swivel Caster – 700 lb is rated to 700 lbs per caster. Size a set by dividing the total load by the number of casters, and for uneven floors assume 3 of 4 casters carry the load. Keep continuous-use loads within about 75-80% of the rating.

What wheel does this caster use?+

This caster runs a Phenolic wheel with a 2" tread width. Phenolic carries high loads on smooth, hard floors and tolerates heat, but transmits more shock than an elastomer tread.

What plate size and bolt pattern does it use?+

This caster uses a top-plate mount with a 4" x 4-1/2" plate and a 2-5/8" x 3-5/8" slotted to 3" x 3" bolt pattern. Measure your existing mounting holes before ordering; if you are replacing casters, match the bolt pattern - most standard patterns interchange across brands.

Is this a swivel or rigid caster, and how does the brake work?+

This is a Swivel caster. Swivel casters rotate 360 degrees for full maneuverability. For most mobile equipment we recommend 2 swivel + 2 rigid, or 4 swivel with at least 2 brakes.

What temperature range can this caster handle?+

Rated for Up to 250°F. Operating outside the rated range can reduce wheel life and load capacity, so match it to your environment (wash-down, freezer, oven-adjacent, etc.).

What floors and applications is it best for?+

The Phenolic wheel performs best on smooth, hard industrial floors. For non-marking or clean-environment needs, ask us about matching tread options.

What is the overall mounted height?+

The overall height (floor to top of plate or stem) is 7-1/2". Account for it when checking equipment clearance, dock height, and ergonomic working height.

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. Stock items carry a 30-day return policy in unused condition (made-to-order items are non-returnable once production starts).
