How to choose the right dumpster caster

Wheel material matters for the environment: polyurethane handles indoor/outdoor mixed use, co-polymer is best for high weight and outdoor applications and steel is for the heaviest industrial loads.

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose swivel or rigid dumpster casters?

A typical setup uses two swivel casters at the front of the dumpster and two rigid casters at the rear. This gives steering at the leading edge and stability through the load.

Do PRT casters fit compactor containers?

Yes, PRT stocks casters used for small apartment style compactor receiver containers, both swivel and rigid.
