Avantco Replacement 5 in Blue Poly Wheel Caster Set - Smooth

In this review of the Avantco replacement caster set, the bottom line is straightforward: this set of four 5 in polyurethane-tread swivel casters is for operators who need a durable, floor-safe replacement for select commercial equipment. The reviewer found these Service Caster Series #20 units well suited to replacing worn or damaged casters on select Avantco, Regency, and Winholt pieces, with a key selling point being the non-marking blue tread that balances smooth rolling with protective contact on kitchen and service floors.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Fits select Avantco, Regency, and Winholt equipment so it can be used as a direct replacement on compatible units.
• Floor-Safe Wheel: The blue polyurethane tread is non-marking and non-marring, protecting floors while providing a quieter ride than hard plastic wheels.
• Weight Capacity: The set supports a total of 1,400 lbs, offering 350 lbs capacity per caster for heavy commercial racks or equipment.
• Mounting Plate Size: The top plate has overall dimensions of 3-1/8 in x 4-1/8 in with mounting hole span options to match common plate patterns.
• Brake Function: Each caster is a swivel model with a brake, allowing equipment to be locked in place for stability during use or storage.
• Service Brand Availability: Other wheel materials and sizes are available from the Service Caster line for different floor or load needs.

Who It's For

This caster set is best for kitchen managers, maintenance staff, and facilities teams who need a reliable, floor-friendly replacement for specific commercial appliances and racks from Avantco, Regency, and Winholt. It suits environments where protecting tile or finished concrete is important and where 350 lbs per caster meets load requirements.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who require specialty mounting patterns not listed in the mounting dimensions, or who need swivel-only or rigid-only sets without brakes; also choose a different wheel material if your application demands very soft or very hard treads beyond polyurethane.
