About Metal Caster Wheels
Metal wheels handle the heaviest loads and survive the most abusive environments. Standard on foundries, forging operations, steel mills, and heavy manufacturing where polyurethane can't survive.
How to Choose
1. Material Selection
Forged steel: highest capacity, most abrasion-resistant. Cast iron: medium capacity, lower cost. Semi-steel: budget option for medium loads.

3. Floor Compatibility
Metal wheels mark and dent most floors. Use on industrial concrete or steel deck.
4. High-Temperature OK
