3" Polyurethane Plate Mount Caster, 176 lbs Load, Steel, Industrial, Pkg Qty 20

Overview

This industrial-grade caster is engineered for heavy-duty material handling and equipment mobility in demanding commercial environments. Featuring a robust steel construction and a high-performance polyurethane wheel, this unit delivers a static load capacity of 176 lbs while ensuring the protection of sensitive flooring surfaces. The rigid directional design provides stable, straight-line movement ideal for machinery that requires precise positioning without swivel drift. With an overall installation height of approximately 4.1 inches, this caster integrates seamlessly into existing frameworks, offering a reliable solution for manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and assembly lines where durability and floor preservation are critical.

Key Features

Static load capacity rated at 176 lbs per unit Durable polyurethane tread resists abrasion, oils, and chemicals Non-marking wheel compound protects epoxy and concrete floors Rigid fixed-direction design ensures stable linear tracking Heavy-gauge steel top plate prevents deformation under stress Smooth rollability reduces operator fatigue during manual pushing Corrosion-resistant finish suitable for varied indoor conditions

Applications

Ideal for industrial carts, shelving units, and mobile workstations Suitable for food processing equipment requiring frequent washdowns Effective in warehouse logistics for pallet jacks and transport dollies Recommended for medical device stands and laboratory equipment Perfect for assembly line fixtures requiring precise alignment Used in automotive shops for tool chests and parts organizers Applicable for audio-visual racks and server cabinet mobility This product represents a cost-effective upgrade for facilities seeking to replace worn casters with a superior alternative that balances load-bearing strength with floor safety. The polyurethane formulation offers a harder durometer than standard rubber, reducing rolling resistance on rough surfaces while maintaining enough give to absorb minor vibrations. The plate mount configuration allows for secure attachment via four bolts, distributing weight evenly across the mounting surface to prevent structural failure. Each unit undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure consistent performance across the bulk package of twenty, making it an efficient choice for large-scale fleet replacements or new equipment fabrication projects.
