On rough concrete or over floor obstructions the service life drops fast, and the impact loading is what cracks the hub, not the heat. Where the cart crosses a threshold or a floor drain grate, shield the wheel from direct heat intake and step up to a 2\" tread instead of adding capacity elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is this wheel used for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt replaces the wheels on carts, racks, and trucks that live inside heat. The 5\" x 1-1\/2\" size is the common swap on bakery oven racks and smokehouse trucks where a 4\" wheel no longer clears floor debris or the operator wants easier roll-out under load. At 700 lb per wheel, a four-wheel rack carries 2,800 lb theoretical, and specifying to roughly 75% of that leaves margin for shock loading at door thresholds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the load capacity?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e700 lb per wheel at room temperature. De-rate 20% to 560 lb per wheel for sustained operation at maximum rated temperature or in sustained sub-freezing service.

High-temp phenolic runs dry heat only.\u003c\/strong\u003e That is the whole decision. Phenolic absorbs water in steam, humid bake, and wash-down environments, then swells, delaminates, and chips, so it has no place in a smokehouse, autoclave, proof box, or sanitation line. Glass-filled nylon handles those and handles dry radiant heat as well, which makes it the wider-envelope wheel and the safer spec when one cart sees more than one condition. Most buyers land on nylon for moist-heat duty specifically, but if your only concern is dry radiant heat you can compare \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/phenolic-wheels\"\u003ehigh-temp phenolic wheels\u003c\/a\u003e on cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does it compare to the 4\" and the 5\" x 2\"?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSame family, different footprint and resin grade.
