4″ Crown Polyurethane on Aluminum – Model G15 Rigid Caster

Description

Rigid Model G15 is the same plate caster for the G15 Swivel. When moving equipment manually supported by 4 swivel casters it can be difficult to control the direction you are pulling or pushing. Rigids help in controlling machinery being moved in direct line travel. Equipment with two/both rigid casters can not move sideways. These type of casters are usually equipped at the opposite end of the push handle. They have 2 legs horizontal to the mounting plate. Leg thickness is 1/4”. The diameter axle is 1/2” and is built to use wheels with a hub width of 2 7/16”. This rigid caster is built from cold forged steel. Rigid Casters can carry more load than swivel casters because they do not have an offset. Nonetheless, on our website both rigid casters and same swivel casters are shown with the same load capacity. We have other mounting plate options available and wheel bearing types are available on request.

In the space and automotive industries where kingpinless casters on carts need to move heavy loads like rocket modules or car chassis through paint booths, Caster City’s high performance UXY caster wheel gets the job done with a quiet, resilient ride. This 2” wide polyurethane wheel, with an 80A Shore Durometer hardness, comes in 4” to 8” diameters in orange or maroon colors, and features two precision sealed ball bearings with top hat spanners for a ½” axle, offering a rapid rebound action that reduces effort to initiate motion while protecting paint booth floors from shock loads, making it ideal for towing applications in production facilities.
