Product Details
About This Wheel - D4.04108.5PN SS
Choose this 4-inch Defender D4 rigid when a cart takes knocks and drops and a brittle hard wheel would crack.
The wheel is Colson's Commander HD high-impact polymer, a tough blue tread built to absorb shock and impact without chipping or shattering the way phenolic or glass-filled nylon can when a loaded cart slams a dock plate or curb. It also takes heat and chemicals in stride, holding from -45 to 250°F, and the stainless steel frame handles corrosive, sprayed-down bays. The pedestal precision ball bearing keeps it rolling smoothly on faster, frequent trips and tow lines. It is still a hard wheel with no cushioning, so it passes floor shock through and can mark a soft floor, but its strength is surviving rough, high-impact handling. Rigid means it tracks straight.
Ideal applications
- Rough-handling carts that hit dock plates, curbs, and thresholds
- High-heat or chemical bays where a brittle wheel would crack
- Faster tow-line back corners needing impact-tough strength
Confirm the load class, that the floor tolerates a hard wheel, and the 5-5/8-inch mount height before ordering.
Pairs with: a matching Defender D4 swivel up front so the cart steers while this rigid tracks straight, from the Colson collection.
Wrong fit? Need a wheel for steady high-heat sterilization rather than impact? See the hi-temp retort rigid 49G41G42G-02 in the Colson 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.
