These Darnell piano wheels are the highest quality rubber wheeled piano casters on the market, and are ideal for heavier pianos. Equipped with dual rubber wheels, each caster supports 200 lbs (therefore 4 wheels with support an upright piano of 800 lbs). The other dual rubber wheeled casters on our website hold 160 lbs each.
Included are the removable, pressed steel sockets with 4 screw holes to attach to the bottom of your piano legs. The upright wheels come with the round CR-3 sockets, and the grand wheels come with the CS-3 square caster sockets.
The Darnell dual-wheel piano casters are equipped with four-sided double ball-bearing raceways, providing stability and smooth movement by evenly distributing weight across all sides of the bearing. The double layers of ball bearings reduce friction, making it easier to move a heavy piano. This setup also enhances durability, as the even weight distribution and dual bearings reduce wear over time. Additionally, it provides better control and reduces wobbling, which is beneficial for delicate movements and maintaining balance.
Upgraded rubber wheels are made out of a high-capacity Neoprene. This wheel material supports the weight of larger pianos while allowing easier movement.
If you're looking for the best way to move your heavier piano, these upgraded casters are your top option--the rubber wheels are designed to support the weight of your piano while not denting or scratching your floors, and it's much easier to push a piano on rubber wheels than it is on brass casters.

What are four-sided, double ball bearing raceways?
- The term "four-sided" means that the ball bearings are positioned to support load distribution on all four sides of the raceway. This structure allows for balanced weight distribution, reducing stress on any one side of the wheel. With support on all sides, the wheels are more stable and can move smoothly in any direction, which is especially useful for heavy objects like pianos.
- “Double ball-bearing” means that there are two layers or rows of ball bearings within the raceway. This setup allows for a higher load capacity and smoother rotation because it reduces friction between the moving parts. Double bearings also increase durability, as the two layers help manage weight and motion better than a single row of bearings, minimizing wear and tear over time.
Advantages of four-sided, double-ball bearing raceways:
- Increased Stability and Smoothness: With four-sided support and double bearings, these wheels offer a smoother and more stable roll, which is essential for moving heavy pianos without jolts or sudden shifts.
- Enhanced Weight-Bearing Capacity: The double-layer bearings provide extra strength, allowing the wheels to handle the significant weight of a piano without bending or deforming.
- Reduced Friction and Wear: The ball bearings reduce friction between the wheel and axle, which not only makes moving easier but also helps the wheels last longer by reducing wear on the raceway.
