Non-standard mold-on-rubber casters — 4-inch, 5-inch, 8-inch, and 10-inch wheel diameters for specialty containers, smaller carts, larger commercial dumpsters, and non-standard mounting applications.
Most commercial dumpsters use 6-inch casters as the standard size, but there's a meaningful range of containers that need other sizes. Recycling carts and small specialty containers use 4-inch and 5-inch casters. Larger 6-8 yard heavy commercial containers sometimes use 8-inch casters for higher load capacity and better ground clearance.
PRT stocks the non-standard sizes for specialty applications.
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.
Specialty containers (recycling carts, vault waste, animal control) often use smaller casters. Larger 6-8 yard heavy commercial dumpsters sometimes use 8-inch casters for better ground clearance over cracked pavement.

4-inch casters typically max out at 300 lbs per caster. 8-inch and 10-inch casters can carry 750-1,500 lbs depending on construction.
Yes, on volume orders. Specify wheel diameter, tread width, load rating, and mounting type when requesting a quote.
