Roll-Off Container Rollers & Wheels

What this page covers

The rollers on a roll-off container take direct load from the cable as the container is dragged onto the truck. They cycle thousands of times per year, run loaded and unloaded, and operate in every weather condition. Roller wear is gradual — slight at first, dramatic after about 5,000-7,000 cycles — and eventually the roller can't carry the load smoothly anymore.

PRT stocks heavy-duty steel rollers for the major roll-off container brands. Most ship same day.

How to choose

Identify by container brand and size (10/20/30/40 yard), roller dimensions (diameter and width), and mounting style (axle pin with grease fittings, or sealed bearing).

Replace rollers as a complete set rather than individually. Uneven roller wear causes container misalignment that damages the new rollers within months.
