4″ Polyurethane on Aluminum Wheel – Plate Rigid Caster 3

Description

Matching rigid caster for Plate Caster Model 3.  The mounting plate is 2 3/8” x 3 5/8” and the hole pattern is slotted to: 1 3/4” x 2 7/8” – 3” and is designed to use a mounting bolt size of 5/16”.  This rigid caster uses a ⅜” diameter axle and nut and uses 1-¼” and 1-½” wide wheels.  Multiple wheels and brake options are available.  When manually moving equipment supported by 4 swivel casters it can be difficult to control the direction you are pushing or pulling.  Rigid casters assist in controlling equipment being moved in straight line travel.  Equipment with rigid casters installed can not move sideways.  This plate caster is NSF listed.

Caster City manufactures this plate caster in Stainless Steel.  Caster City also manufactures this plate caster in Economy Stainless Steel.  Both casters are NSF listed and RoHS Compliant.

The blue (“PA”) polyurethane on aluminum wheel was designed to support some of the highest loads we can offer with a 1-¼” wide industrial caster wheel.  This liquid cast blue polyurethane on aluminum wheel is offered in 1-¼” tread width only and is made in diameters 3”, 3.5”, 4”, and 5”.  The (“PA”) blue polyurethane light duty industrial caster wheel is made from a high quality liquid caster polyurethane and the aluminum center of the wheel will not rust, NSF rated.

Given the same size load on a smooth floor, a polyurethane caster wheel rolls easier than the same size conventional rubber caster wheel.  Polyurethane wheels are chosen when higher loads are needed to roll on floors due to offering more floor protection than what a hard composition caster wheel can.

The Blue Polyurethane on Aluminum caster wheel is a liquid cast polyurethane tire that is chemically bonded to its aluminum center. The caster wheel has two annular ball bearings for higher capacity and increased rollability. They are used in almost every type of application, but are especially popular in Research Laboratories, Hospitals, Food Service, Schools, Bakeries and other Institutional applications. This caster wheel is a non-marking polyurethane which rolls more easily than soft rubbers on smooth floors. This caster can be used in industrial applications which do not involve shock, overloading, abuse, obstructions, poor floors or storage ( standing ) loads.

Select rigid casters when steering over straight lines is important, or if you are going up and down ramps. When selecting rigid casters, install them opposite of the push handle.
