What materials are used in the Plate Caster Model 150 with PX polyurethane wheels?

The caster is built from ASTM1045 drop-forged steel with a 5/8” thick swivel head, 1/2” thick double-welded legs, and a 7” raceway with 3/4” hardened steel ball bearings, all zinc-plated. The PX wheel features a 1-inch thick polyurethane tire (95A Durometer) bonded to a robust iron core.

Why choose PX polyurethane wheels for the Plate Caster Model 150?

PX wheels are engineered for heavy-duty tow-line applications, supporting up to 8,000 lbs with a premium polyurethane tire that reduces internal heat buildup, extending lifespan. Non-marking and floor-protecting, they resist flat spotting, chemicals, and wear, with precision sealed ball or tapered roller bearings for smooth, low-effort rolling.

What bearings are used in the PX polyurethane wheels for the Plate Caster Model 150?

The 4-inch wide PX wheels include precision sealed ball or tapered roller bearings, delivering smooth operation and low drawbar pull for heavy loads. For specific needs, like high-temperature environments, consult Caster City at 800-501-3808 to select the best bearing type.

Can the Plate Caster Model 150 with PX polyurethane wheels operate in demanding environments?

Yes, it performs reliably from -20°F to 180°F, resisting oil, grease, and harsh chemicals. Ideal for controlled settings like automotive tow-lines, boat building, or observatories, it ensures durability and floor protection. For extreme conditions, reach out to Caster City for guidance.

How do PX polyurethane wheels in the Plate Caster Model 150 protect factory floors?

The 95A polyurethane tire is non-marking, absorbs impacts, and minimizes floor wear, unlike steel wheels, making it perfect for automotive plants, shipyards, or observatories. For sensitive surfaces, V-groove wheels on angle iron tracks add protection—email Caster City at sales@castercity.com for advice.

What are the primary applications for the PX polyurethane wheels in the Plate Caster Model 150?

They shine in automotive tow-lines (hauling vehicle parts), boat/yacht building (hull and mold transport), observatories (telescope roof movement), aerospace (aircraft component handling), heavy manufacturing (machinery carts), warehouses (goods transport), and defense (helipads or fortifications). They resist flat spotting for stationary loads and reduce noise for precision environments.

How do I maintain the Plate Caster Model 150 with PX polyurethane wheels?

Lubricate the grease fittings on the caster’s raceway and axle regularly. Consistent maintenance ensures smooth, quiet performance in high-demand applications like automotive tow-lines or observatory systems.

Can the Plate Caster Model 150 with PX polyurethane wheels be used with mechanically powered equipment?

It’s optimized for manual or tow-line applications, but powered use is possible with customization. Contact Caster City at 800-501-3808 to ensure a safe, effective setup for powered equipment like tow-line systems.

What is the top plate size of the Plate Caster Model 150?

The top plate is 8-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, meeting the “Ford standard” for heavy-duty tasks and providing a sturdy mounting surface for equipment like yacht molds, telescope roof systems, or tow-line carts.
