5in Caster Wheels Heavy Duty 4-Pack - 1400lb Capacity Set

Our review of these 5in caster wheels finds them best suited to anyone rebuilding or upgrading heavy carts, platform trucks, dollies, or shop furniture where durability and load capacity matter. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a thickened steel plate and non-marking polyurethane wheel that delivers smooth, quiet rolling while supporting heavy loads - the set of four is rated to carry up to 1400lbs in total, which makes them an obvious choice for industrial and serious DIY use.

Key Features

• Stable construction: Thickened steel plate and hardware provide a rigid mounting base that resists bending under heavy loads.
• High load capacity: Each caster is rated at 350lbs so a four-caster setup supports up to 1400lbs for demanding transport tasks.
• Durable wheel material: Polyurethane tread is non-marking and resists chemicals, oils, and solvents for long service life on varied surfaces.
• Smooth 360-degree rotation: Double precision ball bearings enable quiet, easy turning for better maneuverability of carts and equipment.
• Shop-friendly dimensions: A 5in wheel diameter with 1.27in width and a total height of 6.37in fits common carts and platform trucks without major modification.

Who It's For

These casters are for workshop owners, warehouse staff, and homeowners who move heavy equipment or loads and need a tough replacement that will roll smoothly on wood, vinyl, tile, laminate, and carpet. The non-marking polyurethane and sealed bearings make them a practical choice where floors must stay clean and operation should be quiet.

They are not aimed at light decorative furniture where low-profile or swivel-lock aesthetic casters are preferred, nor for applications that require an integrated brake on each wheel - buyers needing locking casters or specialized mounting plates should consider other options.

Pros & Cons
