Heavy Duty Nylon Caster Wheels
Industrial Grade · 5mm Thick Plate · 42mm Width
Available in 4 sizes (4″/5″/6″/8″) · 3 mount types · Load up to 400 kg per wheel
For heavy duty industrial applications, the 5mm thick top plate provides exceptional strength. Nylon wheels offer high impact resistance, chemical resistance, and smooth rolling on hard surfaces.
2. Calculate load per wheel: Total equipment weight ÷ number of castors = load per wheel. For heavy duty, we recommend 20-25% safety margin.
3. Surface compatibility: Nylon is ideal for hard surfaces — concrete, epoxy, industrial floors. May mark softer floors.

Product Description — Heavy Duty Nylon Series
These heavy duty nylon caster wheels are engineered for the most demanding industrial applications. With load capacities ranging from 220kg to 400kg per wheel, these casters are built to handle extreme weights in factories, warehouses, and heavy manufacturing environments.
The 5mm thick top plate (115mm × 100mm) provides exceptional strength and stability — significantly thicker than standard casters. The 42mm wide nylon wheels offer excellent load distribution and reduced rolling resistance. Nylon material is naturally impact-resistant, chemical-resistant, and wear-resistant, making it ideal for harsh industrial conditions.
Available in four diameters (4″, 5″, 6″, and 8″) and three mounting configurations — Fixed, Swivel, and Swivel+Brake. All sizes share the same 115mm × 100mm plate with 5mm thickness, allowing easy interchangeability across your equipment fleet.

Heavy Duty Nylon — Engineering Excellence
Industrial Grade Nylon: Nylon (polyamide) is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic known for its excellent strength, impact resistance, and wear resistance. Unlike rubber or PU, nylon will not deform under heavy static loads — making it ideal for equipment that sits stationary for long periods then needs to move.
5mm Thick Top Plate: Most standard casters use 3mm or 4mm thick plates. These heavy duty casters feature a 5mm thick plate (115mm × 100mm) — significantly stronger and more resistant to bending under extreme loads. The larger plate size (115×100mm) also provides better weight distribution across your equipment frame.
42mm Wide Wheel: The extra-wide 42mm nylon wheel provides superior load distribution compared to standard 32mm wheels. This reduces floor stress, improves rolling stability, and extends the life of both the caster and your floor surface.
Industrial Applications: Rated for temperatures from -20°C to +80°C, these casters perform reliably in cold storage, ambient warehouses, and heated factory environments. Nylon offers excellent chemical resistance to oils, greases, solvents, and mild acids — perfect for automotive, manufacturing, and industrial applications.
