If you need heavy duty casters, you are probably going to stay away from plastic. It just isn’t as solid as metal is. On many casters, the wheels themselves might be plastic, or the brake mechanism, or both. When all parts are made of metal, except for the rubber wheels, of course, you are more likely to have a caster that will support bigger loads and last a long time.
