All measurements indicate the wheel diameter by the tread width.
The below capacity ranges indicate the working (dynamic) load that each caster will support. A safety factor should be included in your formula to determine your required load rating per caster.
W/(C-1)=R W is total weight needed to move. C is total number of casters required. R is ideal load rating, with safety factor built in. Divide the total load weight by one less caster than you will use to safely determine load rating.
Plate dimensions shown are overall mounting plate size.
When replacing existing casters, select the closest plate size and verify bolt-hole compatibility.
BHP = Bolt Hole Pattern, shown under each plate.

Engineered for maximum strength and performance, the Durastar 8" x 3" Ductile Steel Wheel is the ultimate solution for industrial mobility. Designed to carry up to 6,000 lbs, this wheel is ideal for high-load applications in warehouses, steel mills, factories, and freight terminals. Its ductile steel construction combines high tensile strength with exceptional impact resistance, making it perfect for demanding, high-impact environments.
The wheel’s heavy-duty ductile iron core offers far more strength and flexibility than traditional cast iron. It resists cracking under shock loads and maintains structural integrity in extreme temperature environments. The 3-inch tread width allows for a stable, even load distribution across rugged floors, minimizing the risk of damage to both wheel and surface.
The 1-15/16" plain bore offers versatile axle integration, making this wheel compatible with a wide range of heavy-duty carts, platforms, and mobile equipment. This flexibility allows businesses to customize mobility solutions based on axle size, load type, or application-specific demands.
Whether used in high-load transport systems or rugged mobile structures, Durastar wheels maintain excellent rolling performance even under extreme weight. The impact-resistant design helps protect equipment and supports a longer wheel lifespan with reduced maintenance needs. Its industrial-grade strength makes it a reliable choice for:
Backed by Durastar’s commitment to quality and innovation, this ductile steel wheel offers unmatched durability, reliability, and performance. With minimal maintenance and maximum uptime, it is a trusted solution for businesses that depend on efficient, heavy-duty mobility.
Enhance your equipment’s performance with the Durastar 8" x 3" ductile steel wheel. Designed for strength, stability, and smooth operation—this wheel delivers the reliability your industrial operations demand.
This 8" x 3" Ductile Steel Industrial Replacement Wheel – 6000 lb is rated to 6000 lbs per wheel. Divide the total load across the number of wheels in your rig and keep working loads within about 75-80% of the rating for continuous use.
This is a Ductile Iron wheel. Steel / iron wheels give maximum capacity and durability on smooth, hard industrial floors and tolerate heat.
8" diameter x 3" tread width. Verify your axle diameter and hub/bore length against your existing wheel before ordering.
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.
Rated for -20°F to 800°F. Operating outside the rated range can shorten wheel life and reduce capacity.
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.
