Selection Guidance

How to confirm replacement fit

Confirm plate size, bolt pattern, overall height, wheel diameter, and swivel clearance before ordering.

When to step up in duty class

If you roll over thresholds, debris, ramps, or experience impacts, consider a larger wheel diameter or stepping up one duty class.

Wheel material quick guidance

TPR is quieter and floor-friendly, phenolic rolls with low resistance, polyurethane is a durable all-around choice, and iron is for rugged floors.

FAQ
