Expert Reply:
The Ultra-Fab Skid Wheels for Class C RVs up to 34' Long - 5" Diameter - Qty 2 # UF48-979012 and other skid wheels are not rated for load capacity because they technically don't carry a load. The manufacturer does not give a load rating because they are not tested for this function due to the design. They are designed to divert and not to carry a load.
These skid wheels are tested on vehicles up to 34 feet long at various load capacities and have proven to function as designed to keep the trailers or motorhomes from bottoming out and scratching up panels, frames, or bumpers.
