Iron Caster Wheel for Heavy Loads
This iron caster wheel carries a 1000 lb load rating and fits wheelbarrows or carts that use a 1/2 in axle. The 5 in diameter and 2 in width provide a stable footprint for moving heavy equipment across workshop or yard surfaces. A supplied spanner bushing is included to adapt the bore to the required axle size. The wheel is non-marking and built with an extra-hard tread for durability.
Upgrade from Lower-Capacity Wheels
Replacing a wheel rated below 1000 lb with this model allows the same cart to handle heavier payloads without changing the frame. The jump is worth it when the current wheel deforms under load or when the axle size matches the 1/2 in specification with the included bushing. It suits maintenance crews who need a single wheel replacement rather than a full caster assembly.
Limits of the Roller-Bearing Design
The plain roller bearing rolls smoothly under straight-line loads but is not designed for high-speed towing or continuous powered movement. Side thrust or impact loading can accelerate wear on the iron tread and bearing surfaces. Users should verify that the 2 7/16 in hub length clears their fork or bracket before installation.

Questions about this item
What axle diameter does the 5 in iron caster wheel require?
The wheel is designed for a 1/2 in axle and includes a spanner bushing for that size.
How do I fit the included spanner bushing when installing the caster wheel?
Slide the bushing through the roller bearing so the hub length of 2 7/16 in aligns with the fork, then secure the axle bolt.
When should I replace the iron wheel or its roller bearing?
Replace the wheel if the tread shows flat spots or cracks, or if the roller bearing develops play or noise under the 1000 lb load rating.
