FactorDuty 24 Pack 2in Swivel Plate Casters - 12 Locking, 12 Free

In this review the FactorDuty 24 Pack 2in swivel plate casters is evaluated for small workshops and home projects that need reliable mobility. The bottom line: this set is best for DIY shop carts, cabinets, and light commercial fixtures where a compact, durable wheel set is required. The reviewer found the small 2in polyurethane wheels glide smoothly, resist floor marking, and provide the expected 360-degree maneuverability while offering a good balance of load capacity and value for money.

Key Features

• Compact 2in wheel: The 50mm diameter wheel keeps items low to the ground while still providing stable rolling for storage carts and workbenches.
• Mixed locking options: Comes with 12 casters that lock and 12 without, allowing secure positioning for heavier items and free movement where desired.
• Durable blue polyurethane: The material is scratch-resistant and shock absorbing so it protects floors and reduces noise during use.
• 360-degree swivel: Double ball bearings in the swivel bracket deliver smooth steering and easy maneuverability across different floor types.
• Solid mounting dimensions: The 50mm plate and 33mm hole centers make the set straightforward to install on a range of furniture and equipment.
• Respectable load capacity: Each caster supports up to 65 lbs, giving a combined rated capacity suitable for most light commercial and shop applications.

Who It's For

This set is aimed at makers, small business owners, and homeowners who need to upgrade or replace casters on workbenches, mobile storage, retail displays, and kitchen islands. The mix of locking and non-locking units gives flexibility for projects that sometimes need to be stationary and sometimes mobile.

Those with heavy industrial equipment or very high point loads should look for larger diameter, higher-capacity industrial casters instead; the 2in wheel and 65 lb per-wheel rating are best suited to lighter commercial and residential uses rather than forklifts or heavy machine bases.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good build quality and durability for shop carts and cabinets.
• Rolls quietly and smoothly on wood and tile thanks to polyurethane tread and double ball bearings.
• Balanced kit with 12 locking and 12 non-locking casters for flexible setups.
• Scratch-resistant blue finish that helps protect floors from marks.

Cons

• Limited to light commercial loads; each wheel is rated 65 lbs so total capacity is modest for heavy-duty industrial needs.
• The relatively small 2in diameter may not handle deep carpet or very uneven outdoor surfaces as well as larger wheels.
