Default Do urethane caster wheels deform over time under load

If they are made for wheels, they are tough. Prober tables in semi-conductor
houses and other equipment are mounted on them - cleaner.

I have a heavy tube table with my large bench vice on concrete and they roll
for the past 9 years. Before that the table was in a Fab line.

This question is of great interest to me. If, say, I has a 1500 lb
rated caster with a urethane wheel, would it deform under 800 lb
load, enough to make it troublesome to move. Thanks
