Marine & Ship Building Casters

For wet, salty, on-deck conditions, choose corrosion-resistant stainless steel rigs with polyurethane or nylon wheels that resist water and chemicals. For heavy shipyard fabrication, heavy-duty kingpinless casters carry the load. This collection covers both ends of marine and shipbuilding needs.

Many are. The collection includes stainless steel rigs and corrosion-resistant polyurethane and nylon wheels for the salt, water, and humidity of marine environments. For the harshest exposure, choose stainless throughout and confirm the bearing is also rated for wet conditions.

This collection ranges from about 150 to 5,400 lbs per caster. Light on-deck carts use the lower end, while heavy fabrication equipment and hull-section moving need the heavy-duty options. Divide your total load across all casters and add a safety margin.

Marine casters emphasize corrosion resistance for salt and water exposure, typically using stainless rigs and chemical-resistant wheels, while still offering the heavy capacity shipbuilding demands. Standard casters may rust quickly in marine conditions, so corrosion-resistant materials are the key difference.

Marine environments are hard on casters: salt, water, and humidity rust standard steel, while shipbuilding loads demand serious capacity. This collection addresses both, with corrosion-resistant stainless and polyurethane options for wet and salt exposure, and heavy-duty kingpinless rigs for moving heavy fabrication equipment and hull components. Choose corrosion resistance for on-deck and wet work, and capacity for the heaviest shipyard moving.

Marine and ship building casters in this collection range from about 150 to 5,400 lbs per caster, in polyurethane, rubber, polyolefin, metal, and nylon, with stainless steel rigs available for corrosion resistance. Light carts use the lower end, while heavy fabrication equipment needs the heavy-duty options. Swivel, rigid, and brake versions build complete sets for shipyard carts and equipment.
