URBAN TRASH CANS

When selecting an outdoor trash bin, one crucial question often arises: what is the weight capacity of the wheels? The answer depends on several factors including wheel material, size, and bin design. Most standard outdoor trash bins feature wheels with a capacity ranging from 150 to 300 pounds per wheel. Heavy-duty commercial models often utilize reinforced rubber or polyurethane wheels that can support 400-500 pounds each. The total weight distribution across all wheels matters significantly - a four-wheel bin with 200-pound capacity wheels can safely handle 800 pounds when evenly loaded. Always check manufacturer specifications for your specific model, as wheel construction (plastic vs. rubber), bearing type, and wheel diameter all impact performance. For commercial applications, consider bins with industrial-grade casters and reinforced axles to handle heavy waste loads without compromising mobility.
