Caster Model 4A – Plate Mount
Caster Model 4A is intended for use in institutional applications of up to 1,200 Lbs on a set of four casters. These casters are a slightly heavier version of our Model 3 shown on this page.

As with all lighter duty casters the steel swivel and rigid frames are not designed to withstand shock loads, impact or abuse. If your application involves that type of environment select from our broad selection of industrial casters starting with Model 9 rated for 900 Lbs per caster. Model 4A, Model 3 and K3 are stampings. They are designed for intermittent usage only on manually moved equipment. In production applications where equipment is moved about frequently in less than an ideal operating environment select from one of our many industrial casters.

Features:

  • Swivel frames have double ball bearing hardened raceways for longer service.
  • A slightly stronger caster frame than Model 3 but with the same small mounting plate.
  • Larger wheels, all 2″ wide, provide increased capacity and stability.
  • Precision Sealed Ball Bearings in all wheels for easier rolling.
Mounting Plate – 2 3/8″ x 3 5/8″
This image is for Plate Size and Hole Placement ONLY. IT DOES NOT DEPICT THE ACTUAL PLATE.
We suggest that you do NOT drill the mounting holes to attach the casters until you receive them.
We do NOT include mounting Hardware.
You should never select on the basis of load capacity alone. There is no industry standard for load capacity ratings and they may not include a factor for abuse. Our capacity ratings are below what the casters are capable of carrying because most applications have less than perfect conditions. Please refer to the information shown at the bottom of this page. If you have any doubt as to which wheel or caster is the BEST choice for your application contact us for a recommendation.

Deduct 1 lb. for weight of rigid caster.

Use the Polyolefin ( Industrial Plastic ) wheel for "Standing Loads". Polyolefin wheels eliminate the possiblilty of a flat spot developing if the castered equipment is left parked for a prolong period.

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. These casters are not to be moved by mechanically powered equipment.
