6-inch mold-on-rubber casters — the standard size for commercial 2-6 yard dumpsters. Quiet rolling, floor-friendly tread, and load ratings for standard commercial service.
The 6-inch wheel diameter is the industry standard for commercial dumpster casters because it balances ground clearance (clears most paving cracks and floor seams) with mounting compatibility (matches standard caster mounting plates). Mold-on-rubber tread is the right choice for indoor service, finished floors, and noise-sensitive applications.
PRT stocks 6-inch mold-on-rubber casters in swivel and rigid configurations, with load ratings appropriate for 2-yard through 6-yard commercial dumpsters.
Match by load rating, wheel diameter, mount type (bolt-on or weld-on), and caster type (swivel or rigid).
Send PRT a photo of your existing caster with the container model number and we'll confirm fitment.
Match the load rating to your container loaded weight divided by 4 with a 25% safety margin. A typical 4-yard dumpster loaded to 1,200 lbs needs 375 lb-rated casters minimum; 500 lb-rated is the practical choice for service margin.
They work outdoors but wear faster than polyurethane in continuous outdoor service. For outdoor-only routes, polyurethane is the better long-term choice.
Yes. PRT casters use standard mounting plate hole patterns compatible with Wastequip, JV Cram-a-lot, and most other major dumpster manufacturers.
