How to Measure Caster Wheels and Casters？

Measuring Casters And Wheels on existing equipment can help you find appropriate replacements. When measuring, collect the following information for all casters:

· Overall height

· Wheel diameter

· Wheel width

· Swivel radius (the horizontal distance between the center of the raceway or kingpin and the furthest edge of the wheel)

Unique dimensions will also need to be collected for each mounting type (plate, stem, bolt hole).

④Measuring casters and wheels

Caster Mount Type

There are three basic types of caster mount:

· Plate: Attaches using bolts through designated bolt holes in the top plate.
