4″ Ultra Premium Orange Polyurethane w/ Crown Tread – Plate Swivel Caster 3

Description

The UXY wheel features liquid cast polyurethane molded onto a precision-machined aluminum hub, offering exceptional durability and performance in a compact 1.25″ wide design. Available in 3″, 4″, and 5″ diameter options, this institutional-sized wheel provides smooth, quiet operation while maintaining impressive load capacity. The liquid cast polyurethane tread delivers superior shock absorption and roll-ability compared to injection-molded alternatives, making it ideal for applications requiring reliable performance and floor protection, and most importantly heavy applications that move infrequently. Each wheel comes equipped with dual precision sealed ball bearings to ensure consistent, maintenance-free operation for many years.

The UXY wheel’s unique liquid-cast polyurethane formulation delivers exceptional performance through its rapid rebound characteristics, significantly reducing the force (known as draw bar pull) required to initiate and maintain movement under load. This rapid rebound action allows the wheel to quickly recover from compression, maintaining optimal contact with the floor surface while minimizing rolling resistance. Unlike conventional wheels that may deform and create increased drag under heavy loads, the UXY’s specialized compound actively assists movement by converting potential energy from compression into forward momentum. This dynamic response not only reduces operator fatigue but also ensures consistent performance across varying load conditions, making it an ideal choice for applications where ergonomic considerations are paramount.

Plate Caster Model 3 is made using a stamped steel construction and is bright zinc plated for corrosion resistance.  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 plate caster uses a ⅜” diameter axle and the swivel caster is held together by a 1⁄2” diameter rivet.  This institutional plate caster is constructed with two ball bearings on hardened raceways to ensure life of the caster.  There is a metal dust cap protecting the swivel raceways to shield them from dirt and dust.  Features wheels with 1-¼” and 1-1⁄2” tread widths.  This Zinc Plated caster is NSF listed.

Caster City manufactures this plate caster in Stainless Steel Caster Model 3.  This caster comes standard with two high temperature white seals in the swivel bearing that has a temperature range of -20F to 450F.  Also come with a grease fitting on the dust cover and axle, and buffed to a smooth reflective surface.

Caster City also manufactures this plate caster in Economy Stainless Steel Plate Caster Model K3.  Constructed with S304 stainless steel and comes with no dust cap or grease fitting on the swivel making it economically efficient for most applications.
