Capacity 20,000 pounds per
caster. Model B150 is designed for the heaviest caster applications. We
feature this caster at up to 15,000 Lbs. capacity per caster. Modification can
be made to provide up to 20,000 Lbs. capacity per caster when needed. Model
B150 is almost exclusively used in conjunction with mechanically powered
equipment. Two precision machined swivel bearings provide easier swiveling,
reduced swivel vibration, and longer trouble free performance. Load ratings are
based on a speed up to 3 mph under ideal operating conditions. Since it is rare
for a caster application to involve ideal operating conditions, we suggest you
rely on our experienced and knowledgeable staff for a written recommendation.

We suggest that you do NOT drill the mounting holes to
attach the casters until you receive them.
These casters are made to order items
and are NOT RETURNABLE. Lead time is 4 to 5
weeks.
Deduct 20 lb. for weight of Rigid Casters.
V-Groove swivel casters require a Swivel Lock in order to go
backwards when on Angle Iron Track.
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.
