Light Duty Plate Casters are recommended for light assembly dollies, hand trucks, wire racks, and shopping carts. Light Duty Plate Casters are also used for rolling display racks, chests, and cabinets. Plate Mount Casters allow for a wider area of distribution of weight load and force compared to their stem mount counterparts, allowing heavier weight loads.

Although not a true shock-absorbing caster, this benefit still helps to reduce potential damage to delicate items during transportation. Pneumatic caster wheels are commonly used outdoors on uneven surfaces, whether on a runway or an off-road vehicle. They offer a smoother ride than their solid counterparts.
