Technical Specifications













Description
8″ x 4″ Ductile Steel Wheel 1 1/4″ Tapered Bearing. Size shown in photo is 6 x 3.
The Ductile Steel Wheel is built for heavy-duty industrial use. It’s made from high-grade ductile steel with a tensile strength of 45,000 psi, so it lasts long and resists wear. It comes in widths of 2″, 2.5″, and 3″, and diameters from 4″ to 12″, handling loads from 1,500 lbs to 10,000 lbs based on size. You can pair it with roller, precision sealed ball, bronze, or tapered roller bearings for different needs—smooth movement, high heat, or heavy loads. It has a lubrication fitting for maintenance. It’s tough but can damage factory floors, so use it on steel plates, in channels, or as V-groove wheels on angle iron tracks.
It works in extreme conditions, taking heat up to 400°F and shrugging off impacts. Pick flat or crown tread for your surface. It’s not for protecting floors—it’s for carrying big loads reliably. Need help picking the right one? Call Caster City at 800-501-3808 or email sales@castercity.com.
