Capacity 20,000 pounds per
caster under ideal operating conditions.
Load ratings are based on
manually moved loads at a speed up to 3 mph under ideal operating conditions.
If your application involves abuse please contact us for a recommendation.
Consult us for a capacity rating based on your application if these casters are
to be used with mechanically powered equipment.
Model 150 has the
largest top plate and thickest legs of any of our caster brackets whichs allow
for the heaviest loads and the most arduous service. Model 150 has a precision
machined swivel bearing, which provides superior performance on both manually
moved and mechanically powered equipment. Benefits include easier swiveling,
reduced swivel vibration, and longer trouble free performance.

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.
