Wheels and casters on this page

Part Tread and core Rating Fit
P&H WC2054LD wheel Polyurethane (TPU) on polyolefin core 250 lb 5 x 1-1/4 in, 5/16 in bearing; singles to 1,000-packs

P&H 5 in swivel casters Polyurethane, TPU, TPR or soft rubber 200 to 250 lb 1/2-13 stem, 7/8 or 1 in long
Axle and lock nut Steel 5/16 x 2-1/4 in

From product titles and spec fields [S1]. The P&H wheels list -30 to 140°F.

Wheel or the whole caster

Spin the wheel and rock the fork. A tread that is worn flat, chunked or cracked on a fork that still swivels cleanly only needs a wheel: pull the 5/16 in axle, drop in the new wheel and use a new lock nut. If the swivel grinds, the fork is bent or the stem is loose in the frame, replace the complete caster.

Check three sizes before ordering

  1. Wheel: 5 in across the tread and 1-1/4 in wide, the size on every wheel listed here.
  2. Bore: 5/16 in through the hub, to suit the 5/16 x 2-1/4 in cart axle.
  3. Stem: casters thread in on 1/2-13. Measure the thread length from the top of the swivel; these list 7/8 in or 1 in.

Polyurethane or rubber tread

The WC2054LD polyurethane tread is the harder, longer wearing choice for sealed concrete and parking lots. The soft gray rubber SuperWheel and the TPR casters give a quieter, more cushioned roll on tile, at the same 250 lb rating or a little less (200 lb on the soft rubber casters).

Packs for a cart fleet

A cart takes four wheels, so a 50-pack covers 12 carts with two spares, a 250-pack covers 62 carts and a 1,000-pack covers 250. Many stores replace only the two front swivel positions first, since those take the curb hits.
