All measurements indicate the wheel diameter by the tread width.
The below capacity ranges indicate the working (dynamic) load that each caster will support. A safety factor should be included in your formula to determine your required load rating per caster.
W/(C-1)=R W is total weight needed to move. C is total number of casters required. R is ideal load rating, with safety factor built in. Divide the total load weight by one less caster than you will use to safely determine load rating.
Plate dimensions shown are overall mounting plate size.
When replacing existing casters, select the closest plate size and verify bolt-hole compatibility.
BHP = Bolt Hole Pattern, shown under each plate.
Off-road and flat-free casters — all-terrain casters for outdoor industrial carts, generators, lawn equipment, and equipment moved over gravel, grass, dock plates, and rough surfaces. Pneumatic, foam-filled no-flat, and solid thermo rubber options. 4" to 10" diameter, 250 to 650 lb capacity. Cold-weather rated down to −20°F. USA-made flat-free options stocked at our Mansfield, TX facility.




























Pick by terrain, payload, and whether you can tolerate flats. Pneumatic gives softest ride; foam-filled and thermo rubber are puncture-proof.
| Diameter | Type | Capacity | Surface | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4" | Thermo Rubber (solid) | 275 lb | Gravel, grass, asphalt | Garden and yard equipment |
| 6" x 2" | Thermo Rubber (solid) | 275 lb | Mixed indoor/outdoor | Outdoor service carts |
| 8" (solid) | Thermo Rubber (solid) | 275 lb | Dock plates, gravel, mud | No-flat outdoor service carts |
| 8" x 3" | Foam-Filled Poly | 275 lb | Gravel, dock plates | Generators, welders, equipment carts |
| 8" Pneumatic | 4-ply Air | 250 lb | Grass, gravel, light off-road | Outdoor utility carts |
| 10" Pneumatic | 4-ply Air | 350 lb | Heavy off-road, rough terrain | Generator carts, equipment movers |
| 10" Pneumatic w/ Brake | 4-ply Air | 350 lb | Sloped surfaces | Equipment requiring positive lock |
Smooth concrete or asphalt: any caster works — pick by capacity. Gravel, grass, dock plates: 8" or larger. Rough terrain, rocky, or roots: 10" pneumatic absorbs shock best.
Total load divided by number of casters, then add 30-40% safety margin. Off-road casters typically run 250-650 lb capacity. For higher capacities, step up to industrial pneumatic 12-16".
Pneumatic gives the softest ride but carries flat risk in puncture-prone areas (construction yards, debris). Foam-filled poly and solid thermo rubber are heavier and ride slightly firmer but cannot go flat. For mission-critical outdoor service, choose flat-free.
Most thermo rubber and foam-filled casters are rated −20°F to 160°F. Pneumatic rubber tires lose pressure in cold weather — check pressure monthly below 40°F.
Flat-free casters use solid material (thermo rubber) or closed-cell polyurethane foam instead of air. They cannot puncture, deflate, or go flat. The trade-off is slightly higher weight and a firmer ride than pneumatic.
Pneumatic: softest ride, lowest cost, can puncture. Foam-filled poly: punctureless, holds shape, ~20% heavier than pneumatic. Solid thermo rubber: punctureless, longest service life, heaviest. Pick foam-filled for most outdoor industrial work — best balance of cost, weight, and durability.
Yes. The larger wheel diameter (8-10") rolls smoothly on concrete and asphalt. They are over-spec for indoor-only use, but they work fine. Indoor-only carts are better served by 4-6" polyurethane or thermo rubber for lower rolling resistance.
Solid thermo rubber and foam-filled poly stay flexible to −20°F. Below that, choose a cold-rated polyurethane or specialty cold storage caster. Pneumatic rubber stiffens and loses traction below 0°F.
Yes, with sealed bearings. Solid thermo rubber and foam-filled poly are not damaged by water. Standard ball bearings will rust over time — specify stainless or sealed precision bearings for wet environments.
Our flat-free off-road casters run 250-350 lb per caster. For four-wheel carts, that gives a 1,000-1,400 lb total cart capacity with safety margin. Heavier industrial off-road equipment uses 12-16" pneumatic, which we stock under a separate collection.
Yes — our 8" and 10" pneumatic and foam-filled casters are commonly used on Generac, Honda, and Powermate generator cart kits. Standard 4" x 4-1/2" or 4" x 4" plate fits most OEM frames.
Pneumatic life depends on storage and load. Stored indoors, properly inflated, on a properly sized cart: 3-5 years. Outdoor storage in UV sunlight: 1-3 years — UV ages rubber. Foam-filled and thermo rubber last longer in UV but are still subject to rubber compound aging.
