Heavy-Duty Plate Casters

Built for high load handling on carts, fixtures, and mobile equipment where durability, swivel performance, and serviceability matter.

Load range
~750–2,500 lbs per caster (varies by wheel + configuration)
Configurations
Swivel, Rigid, Swivel w/ face-contact brake
Wheel options
Polyurethane, rubber, phenolic, steel
Use cases
Manual moves, towline-ready builds, heavy fixtures
Mounting interface
  • Top plate footprint: 4-1/2" x 6-1/4"
  • Choose wheel + bearing based on floor type, debris exposure, and duty cycle

Why this rig is specified

Structural and swivel design
  • Hot-forged top plate and yoke base (1045 steel) for high durability
  • Deep-groove double ball raceways for smoother swiveling under heavy loads
  • Heat-treated kingpin and robust leg design for stability
  • Grease fitting in swivel raceway for maintenance and service life
  • Zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in typical industrial environments
Best-fit applications
  • Heavy-duty carts and fixtures with high load concentration
  • Industrial equipment builds and fabrication
  • Automotive and manufacturing component handling
  • Towline or continuous-use environments (spec wheel material accordingly)
Wheel and bearing selection notes
  • Polyurethane: balanced rollability + floor protection for many plant floors
  • Rubber: quieter ride and better shock absorption, lower capacity vs harder treads
  • Phenolic: hard, cost-effective on smooth, dry concrete; not ideal for wet exposure
  • Steel: high capacity, best on controlled floors; can be harsh/noisy and unforgiving on debris
  • Bearings: plain bore / roller / precision / double-groove—choose based on push force needs and duty cycle
