Watch Our Mobility Experts

All industrial casters are generally regarded as heavy-duty casters. These industrial casters are classified by duty determined primarily by weight capacity per caster. Whatever the weight, all are designed to make material handling easier. Several wheel options are available to ensure the perfect fit for your application: Our high-capacity casters are used in many industries, including aerospace, automotive, heavy equipment, military, and many others.

Our Heavy Duty Caster classifications start at:

Heavy Duty (2,000 to 4,999 lbs.)
Extra Heavy Duty (5,000 to 16,999 lbs.)
Super Heavy Duty (17,000 to 50,000 lbs).
We also specialize in casters above 50,000 lbs to 100,000 lbs. In other words, Heavy Duty Industrial Casters that can handle extreme tons is our thing.

On the lighter side of the range are our Medium Duty:
