The 5 Inch Heavy Duty Casters, 2600lbs Capacity Set of 4, Industrial Swivel Caster Wheels is one of our picks for the caster set lineup. Everything below comes straight from the manufacturer's published listing - specs, capacities, and dimensions are theirs, not ours.
Caster capacity is rated per caster - but design for three carrying the load, not four, since floors are never perfectly flat. Polyurethane treads roll quiet and protect finished floors; locking swivels keep workbenches and racks parked. Match bolt pattern and overall height before ordering.
Key details, quoted from the manufacturer's published listing:
- High Load Capacity & Smooth, Quiet Operation: Supports up to 650 lbs per caster (2600 lbs total set). Features soft rubber treads that ensure quiet rolling and protect floors from scratches and damage.
- Secure 360Β° Swivel & Reliable Brakes: Effortlessly maneuver in tight spaces with full rotation. The foot pedal brake securely locks both wheel movement and swivel rotation, keeping heavy items safely in place.
- Universal Mounting & Easy Installation: Quickly attach these casters to desks, workbenches, carts, cabinets, or furniture using the included hardware. No special tools or expertise needed β get rolling in minutes.
- Durable & Floor-Safe Polyurethane Wheels: Tough polyurethane wheels glide smoothly over hard surfaces like hardwood, tile, and concrete without leaving marks or scuffs. Also works well on low-pile carpet.
- Heavy-Duty Construction & Assurance: Built for demanding industrial and workshop use. Shop with confidence backed by our 30-day satisfaction guarantee for non-damage related issues and dedicated customer support.

What to check before you buy
- Capacity per caster, times the count
- Caster ratings are per wheel. The usual guidance is to divide the total load by the number of casters minus one, so an uneven floor cannot overload a single wheel.
- Wheel material against the floor
- Soft wheels protect finished floors and roll quietly over debris; hard wheels roll with less effort on smooth surfaces but transmit shock and can mark floors.
- Swivel versus rigid layout
- Two rigid and two swivel gives predictable straight-line tracking. Four swivel gives maneuverability but is harder to push in a straight line under load.
- Mounting pattern
- Plate size, bolt hole pattern and stem type are not universal. Measure the existing mount before ordering replacements.

Frequently asked questions
How do I work out the caster capacity I need?
Divide the total weight (equipment plus maximum load) by the number of casters, then apply a safety margin. A common approach is to divide by the caster count minus one, since uneven floors rarely load all wheels equally.
Which wheel material should I choose?
Match it to the floor and the environment. Polyurethane and rubber protect finished floors and absorb shock; phenolic and cast iron take heat and heavy loads; nylon resists chemicals and rolls easily.
Do I need brakes on all four casters?
Rarely. Two braked casters usually hold equipment in place. What matters more is that the braked wheels are positioned so the item cannot pivot around them.
Why does my cart wander to one side?
Commonly a damaged swivel bearing, debris in the wheel, or mixing wheel diameters or materials across the set. Casters should be replaced as a matched set rather than individually.
What is a kingpinless caster?
It replaces the kingpin - the usual failure point under shock loading - with a raceway design. They cost more and are specified for towing and high-impact applications.
Where do the specifications on this page come from?
They are taken from the manufacturer's published listing. WC Safety does not laboratory-test products, and nothing is claimed here that the manufacturer does not state.
