6" Steel Wheel Dumpster Casters

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.

What this page covers

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.

How to choose

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.

In stock options

6" steel swivel casterFor steering corners.
6" steel rigid casterFor stability.
1,000 lb load rating standardFor heavy commercial dumpsters.
1,500 lb heavy-duty optionFor compactor receiver containers.
Bolt-on and weld-on mountingChoose based on application.

Frequently asked questions

What is the load rating on a 6-inch steel caster?

1,000 lbs standard, 1,500 lbs heavy-duty.

Are 6-inch steel casters drop-in for rubber casters of the same size?

Yes — standard NEMA mounting plate hole pattern.

How heavy is a 6-inch steel caster?

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.

Should I weld or bolt-on 6-inch steel casters?

Weld-on for permanent heavy-duty installations (compactor receivers); bolt-on for serviceable installations.
