Soft rubber wheels give mobility to heavy loads on smooth hard surface and finished concrete floors where quiet movement and floor protection are major considerations. Caster with brake. Fasteners not included. A great choice when quiet mobility and floor protection are major considerations
Shepherd casters: size, mount and wheel, in that order
Three things decide whether a caster fits, and they are independent of each other. The wheel diameter — 1-1/2 In. through 12 In. here — sets how easily it rolls and how high it lifts whatever it is under: a bigger wheel crosses a threshold or a carpet edge that a small one stops at, and it also raises the deck. The mount is either a plate that bolts flat to the underside, or a stem that pushes or threads into a socket in a tube leg; a plate caster and a stem caster of the same size are not interchangeable. The wheel material decides what it rolls on and what it protects: soft rubber and thermoplastic are quiet and kind to a finished floor, polypropylene and cast iron take more weight and more abuse, phenolic and pneumatic are for heavy loads and rough ground. Swivel wheels steer, rigid wheels track straight, and a cart normally wants two of each rather than four swivels. Add brakes on the two swivel corners if the thing is meant to stay put.

Choosing the right one
- Divide the loaded weight by three, not four — on an uneven floor three wheels carry it — and buy above that figure.
- Plate or stem is a fit, not a preference: measure the mounting plate bolt pattern, or the socket bore and thread on a tube leg.
- Bigger wheels roll easier over thresholds and cables, and raise the deck by roughly the wheel diameter.
- Soft rubber and thermoplastic for finished floors, polypropylene or cast iron for concrete and shop use.
- Two swivel and two rigid steers like a shopping trolley; four swivel turns on the spot but wanders when pushed.
- Brakes belong on the swivel corners, and you only need two of them.
Ordering more than one
Most jobs take four matched wheels, so order in fours — and in twos if you are mixing swivel with rigid. Larger quantities go through the pack options in the buy box above; for a shop refit or a fleet of carts, ask us for a quote rather than clearing the shelf one pack at a time.
