Model 14 is a cold forged caster with a larger
swivel bearing and center pin than Model 9. It can be used for up to 1400 lbs
per caster on manually moved equipment. If this caster is to be used with
mechanically powered equipment we suggest not exceeding a weight of 800 lbs per
caster. As a general rule you get a better return on your investment if you
step up to Caster Model G15
or Caster Model 15 with 2"
wide wheels.
Mounting Plate - 4 1/2" x
6 1/4"
We suggest that you do NOT drill the mounting holes to
attach the casters until you receive them.
We do NOT include mounting
Hardware.
Features:
Swivel Construction - cold forged top plate
and yoke base from 1/4" steel. Swivel has double ball bearing with hardened
raceways.
You should never select on the basis of
load capacity alone. Capacity ratings do not take into account the effort
required to manually move a load. Capacity ratings are based on manual
operation under ideal conditions. If these casters are going to be moved by
mechanically powered equipment, consult us for a reduced capacity rating based
on your application. If a human being has to move the weight, select the
largest practical wheel diameter.
If
a caster failure occurs it is almost always because of misuse or abuse. It has
been very rare that a product failed because of faulty material or poor
workmanship. The following are examples of things that we do
NOT want you to do:
1. Dragging the
wheel sideways.
2. Shock or Impact
caused by dropping the load instead of setting it down on the castered
equipment.
3. Improper
Installation such as:
A. Rigid casters not installed
parallel to one another.
B. Swivel casters not
installed parallel to the floor.
C. Using less than 4 bolts to
attach the mounting plate.
D. Distortion of the swivel
bearing when attaching the mounting plate due to welding
improperly.
4. Exceeding the
rated capacity of the wheel or caster.
5. Exceeding a
rolling speed of 3 MPH.
6. The build up of
heat caused by continuous operation causing tire separation.
