B. Hooded Twin Wheel Casters with Polyurethane Tires is available with 50mm polyurethane wheels. This caster will work well on either hard floor surfaces or short pile carpet
D. The Elite series offers a stylish polyurethane wheel which can be used on either hard floors or carpeting. It is only available with a 3″ diameter wheel and has the highest capacity of the casters listed here.
Some casters on this page are sold in both 50mm and 60mm sizes. This is a comparison between the two different sizes. Casters on most chairs and furniture have 50mm wheels and work fine for most applications. If you require additional capacity or are going to roll on carpet, you may want to consider the 60mm size.
If you are in a chair many hours each day and your weight exceeds 200 lbs, we suggest you consider using casters with at least 3″ diameter wheels. Capacity is only one factor in determining the proper caster. We do NOT include mounting Hardware.

If your weight is between 350 lbs and 500 lbs, our Mr. Big Caster may be your best choice. It only comes with nylon wheels and will require a thick mat to protect wood floors. Nylon wheels are the best material when rolling directly on carpet but carpet wear can not be avoided. This is the ideal chair caster for the larger person or for those with chairs on thick carpet.
You should never select on the basis of load capacity alone. There is no industry standard for load capacity ratings and they may not include a factor for abuse. Our capacity ratings are below what the casters are capable of carrying because most applications have less than perfect conditions. Please refer to the information shown at the bottom of this page.
