Key Features

• Compatibility: Designed to fit Rubbermaid Audio-Visual Cart FG9T2800BLA and FG9T2900BLA so replacement installation is direct and hassle free.

• Wheel Material: Non-marking gray thermoplastic rubber tread provides quieter operation and protects hard floors from scuffing.
• Mounting Stem: 7/16 in diameter x 1-7/8 in length grip ring stems allow secure seating in compatible cart sockets for stable handling.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at facility managers, AV technicians, teachers, and anyone who owns the specific Rubbermaid audio-visual cart models listed and needs a practical replacement. It suits light duty environments such as classrooms, conference rooms, clinics, and offices where quiet, non-marking casters are preferred.

Those who should look elsewhere include users with very heavy, industrial loads or carts requiring larger diameter wheels or specialty treads; for heavier duty material handling tasks a larger caster series or different wheel compound would be more appropriate.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good fit for the specified Rubbermaid cart models, making replacement straightforward without modification.
• Quality build and bearings provide smooth rollability that customers reported works well across floor surfaces.
• Non-marking thermoplastic rubber reduces noise and protects floor finishes during normal use.
• Individual brakes on swivels increase stability when the cart is stationary or being loaded.

Cons

• Limited to light duty applications; the 110 lb per caster rating means it is not intended for heavy industrial loads.
• Stem size and length are specific; incompatible carts will require different mounting hardware or adapters.
