The bottom line: this single replacement caster is for users who want a quiet, non-marking wheel with a solid 300 lb capacity per caster and an exact fit; it stands out because the thermoplastic rubber wheel and zinc-plated swivel deliver smooth rollability and corrosion resistance in everyday material handling tasks.

Key Features

• Exact fit: Designed to replace the original caster on Rubbermaid Mobile Shelf Truck FG9T4200BLA, FG9T4300BLA and FG9T4400BLA for straightforward installation and reliable compatibility.
• Weight capacity: Rated at 300 lb capacity per caster, it supports light to medium duty loads on carts and mobile shelving without concern.
• Quiet, non-marking wheel: The 5 in by 1-1/4 in thermoplastic rubber wheel provides soft contact with floors to minimize noise and avoid scuffing.
• Total lock brake: The swivel caster includes a total lock brake to hold both wheel and swivel in place for stable parking and safe loading.
• Durable finish: Zinc-plated hardware resists corrosion and holds up under shop or service conditions for longer life.
• Standard stem: Uses a grip ring stem 7/16 in diameter by 1-3/8 in length for compatibility with the listed Rubbermaid trucks.

Who It's For

The caster is ideal for facility managers, maintenance staff, and home workshop users who need a dependable replacement part that restores original mobility and braking to Rubbermaid Mobile Shelf Trucks. It suits applications where quiet operation and non-marking wheels matter, such as offices, classrooms, retail stockrooms and light industrial spaces.

Users who need very heavy-duty capacity, specialized wheel compounds, or a different stem or plate mounting should look elsewhere; this product is optimized for the specified Rubbermaid trucks and medium-duty handling roles rather than heavy industrial carts or custom installations.
