Trusted Brands for Every Load

Finding the right caster starts with understanding your load, your environment, and how your equipment needs to move. At Caster Central, we stock a comprehensive range of caster wheels and industrial casters from leading American manufacturers including Albion, Colson, Faultless, and Shepherd. Whether you need a 75 lb light-duty furniture caster or a 40,000 lb kingpinless unit for heavy manufacturing, you will find it here.

Frequently Asked Questions About Casters

Start with three factors: the weight each caster must support (divide total load by the number of casters, then add a 30% safety margin), your floor surface (smooth concrete, tile, carpet, rough asphalt), and your environment (dry warehouse, wet washdown area, high-temperature oven). These three variables narrow the field to a specific duty class, wheel material, and mounting type.

Swivel casters rotate 360 degrees on a ball-bearing raceway, allowing equipment to turn and maneuver in tight spaces. Rigid casters, also called fixed casters, only roll forward and backward in a straight line. Most mobile equipment uses a combination -- typically two swivel casters for steering and two rigid casters for directional stability.

We stock polyurethane (floor-protective, high capacity), rubber (quiet, shock-absorbing), cast iron (maximum load capacity for industrial use), phenolic (economical heavy-duty), nylon (chemical and moisture resistant), and polypropylene (washdown-safe, non-marking). Each material is suited to specific load ranges and floor conditions.

Many of our casters are available with integrated braking systems. Options include cam brakes (foot-operated wheel lock), top-lock brakes (locks both wheel and swivel), and side-lock brakes. Brakes are essential for equipment that must remain stationary during loading, unloading, or operation.

Shop Industrial Casters and Caster Wheels for Every Application

Our caster inventory spans every duty class and configuration. Choose from swivel casters for full-directional maneuverability, rigid casters for straight-line tracking, stem-mount casters for tubular frames, and top-plate models for bolted installations. Wheel materials include polyurethane, rubber, cast iron, phenolic, nylon, and polypropylene -- each engineered for specific floor types, load demands, and environmental conditions such as moisture, temperature extremes, or chemical exposure.

Every caster we sell includes detailed specifications for load capacity, wheel diameter, tread width, overall height, and mounting dimensions. If you are outfitting a warehouse, upgrading a production line, or replacing worn casters on service carts, our catalog and technical support team are here to help you match the right caster to the job.
