Product Details
About This Caster - 2.04256.445
Choose this 4-inch Performa rubber swivel for a busy institutional cart that needs a touch more clearance than a 3.5-inch wheel but the same quiet, non-marking roll, on a ball bearing built for traffic.
The 4-inch diameter splits the difference between the maneuverable small sizes and the threshold-clearing 5-inch, giving a cart a bit more roll over floor seams while staying easy to turn. The soft Grey Performa rubber tread keeps it quiet and floor-friendly, the 2 Series institutional standard, and the ball bearing carries the constant starts and stops of a high-traffic cart. The top plate bolts to a flat frame. It is the mid-size quiet caster for a cart that runs all shift on finished floors.
Ideal applications
- Mid-size nursing or food cart pushed all shift, sealed floor
- Quiet rig needing a little more roll than a 3.5-inch wheel
- High-traffic institutional cart on finished floors
Skip the top plate if the cart legs take a snap-in stem instead; the modular-stem 4-inch Performa 31MB40X88-03 presses into a round tube end.
Pairs with: the modular-stem 4-inch Performa 31MB40X88-03 where the frame uses tube-end stems instead of plates.
Wrong fit? Stem mount, or more load? See the modular-stem 31MB40X88-03 and the polyurethane 31JB35V-03.
Also in this family: the modular-stem 4-inch Performa 31MB40X88-03 and 5-inch Performa swivel 31MH50V-03, or the 2 Series caster collection.

What our customers say
Excellent service! Outstanding quality castors.
Great customer service and casters!
Great service, friendly staff and quality product.
Excellent all inclusive selection. Was able to use their product search to easily and accurately purchase two pieces of Seperate but related pieces of hardware. Product shipped and tracked per UPS and arrived in a timely manner while packaged and in good condition. Product quality is excellent especially given price was a very reasonable.
Purchased Blickle casters from W.T. Hight Company. Rated 5/5.
Long story short, we purchased an under-counter freezer that was too tall and needed the casters taken off. However, I had no idea how to do that so a quick Google led me to W.T. Hight and the customer representative, Lemuga, was super patient and walked me through the process! Although we didn't purchase anything this time, their customer service was wonderful and we will be keeping this company on our radar for all things casters!
I had an amazing experience with W.T. Hight Company! I purchased casters for my equipment, and the quality was outstanding — sturdy, reliable, and exactly what I needed. The customer service was top-notch; they were incredibly patient and walked me through the entire process to ensure I got the right fit. Highly recommended.
