Our Elite Series Chrome Chair Casters offers soft ray rubber wheels which can not mark or damage hardwood floors. The soft rubber wheel is available in both 2″ and 3″ diameters. Although we do not recommend any caster for a SOFT WOOD floor such as Pine, the Elite series with it’s extra soft rubber wheels has been used successfully on SOFT WOOD floors.
These features make these Elite Chair Casters an attractive option for those seeking durability, floor protection, and smooth movement on hard floor surfaces. Before purchasing, be sure to verify that the caster stem size matches your chair’s requirements to ensure a proper fit.
If your weight exceeds 200 lbs, we suggest you consider using casters with at least 3″ diameter wheels. 3″ diameter wheels roll easier than 2″ diameter wheels. Polyurethane and Soft Rubber wheels are floor protective. Polyurethane rolls easier but is less resilient.
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. If you have any doubt as to which wheel or caster is the BEST choice for your application contact us for a recommendation.
