Heavy Duty Industrial Caster - Model 150

Capacity 20,000 pounds per caster.
Model 150 is capable of loads up to 20,000 Lbs. per caster under ideal operating conditions. We feature this model at 15,000 Lbs. capacity because caster applications almost never involve ideal operating conditions. If your application requires more than 15,000 Lbs. capacity per caster, please contact us for a recommendation.

Features:
  • Swivel Construction - a precision machined swivel bearing provides easier swiveling, reduced swivel vibration and longer trouble free performance.
  • Legs - 1/2" thick steel.
  • Axle - 1 1/4" diameter bolt.
  • Wheel Bearing - 1 1/4" tapered roller bearings.
  • Grease Fittings - for swivel and wheel bearings.
  • Finish - external metal parts are zinc plated.
Optional Features:
  • Welded Swivel Lock - Locks swivel NOT the wheel.

Deduct 10 lb. for weight of Rigid Casters.

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.
