The load ratings fit a wide variety of manufacturing and warehousing uses. Nearly every warehouse, freight terminal, manufacturing plant and industrial business uses these types of casters in their operations. The 40 series caster is the same as our standard 46 series casters except for 1-1/2" wide wheels.
