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.

The Durastar 8" x 3" Heavy Duty Polyurethane on Steel Wheel is purpose-built for demanding industrial environments requiring both strength and longevity. Designed to deliver exceptional performance in heavy-duty material handling, this wheel offers an outstanding load capacity of 3,500 lbs and combines rugged construction with advanced polyurethane technology.
At the core of this wheel is a high-strength steel center, engineered to withstand shock and abuse in harsh working conditions. The outer tread features a thick layer of premium-grade polyurethane, which is expertly bonded to the core to prevent separation, even under continuous stress. This unique combination offers a balance of impact resistance, floor protection, and quiet performance.
With a wide 3" tread width and an 8" diameter, this wheel maximizes surface contact, distributing weight evenly and improving rolling efficiency. The 1-15/16" plain bore is ideal for standard axle installations, making it compatible with most heavy-duty carts, equipment, and platforms. Its polyurethane surface resists oil, water, chemicals, and abrasions—allowing it to perform reliably in environments such as warehouses, factories, and assembly lines.
Designed with user safety and facility protection in mind, this wheel reduces rolling resistance and absorbs shocks during operation. Its non-marking tread helps maintain clean flooring surfaces, while the low-noise profile improves workplace comfort. These qualities make it especially suitable for areas where equipment must be moved quietly and efficiently.
