6-inch steel wheel casters for heavy-duty commercial dumpsters and compactor receiver containers. The standard size with maximum load capacity and longest wear life.
6-inch is the commercial dumpster caster standard. Steel is the heavy-duty material. The combination gives you the highest load rating available at the most-common caster size — drop-in compatibility with standard mounting plates and minimum-fuss replacement.
PRT stocks 6-inch steel casters in swivel and rigid configurations.
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.
1,000 lbs standard, 1,500 lbs heavy-duty.
Yes — standard NEMA mounting plate hole pattern.
About 15-25 lbs depending on load rating. Significantly heavier than rubber or polyurethane casters of the same size — plan for two-person installation on larger dumpsters.
Weld-on for permanent heavy-duty installations (compactor receivers); bolt-on for serviceable installations.
