4 in TPE Brake Caster, Steel Plate Mount, 242 lbs Load, Pkg Qty 8

Overview

This heavy-duty caster assembly is engineered for demanding industrial environments where reliable mobility and secure positioning are critical. Featuring a 4-inch thermoplastic elastomer wheel, the unit delivers exceptional floor protection by preventing scuff marks while ensuring quiet, vibration-free operation. The robust construction utilizes galvanized steel components to provide superior resistance against corrosion, making it suitable for facilities with varying humidity levels or exposure to mild chemicals. With a static load capacity of 242 lbs per caster, this solution supports substantial equipment weight while maintaining smooth maneuverability. The integrated braking mechanism offers immediate locking capability, ensuring stability on inclined surfaces or during loading and unloading processes.

Key Features

Thermoplastic elastomer tread prevents floor damage and reduces operational noise Integrated side-actuated brake ensures secure locking on uneven terrain Galvanized steel housing provides long-term corrosion resistance Precision-sealed ball bearings facilitate smooth rolling under heavy loads Reinforced top plate design distributes weight evenly to prevent structural failure Non-marking wheel compound suitable for epoxy, concrete, and tile flooring

Specifications

Load Capacity: 242 lbs per unit Wheel Diameter: 4 inches Overall Installation Height: 5.31 inches Mounting Plate Dimensions: 3.76 x 2.62 inches Wheel Material: Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) Housing Material: Galvanized Steel Bearing Type: Precision Ball Bearing Brake Type: Integrated Side Lock Package Quantity: 8 units

Applications

Ideal for mobile workbenches, industrial carts, and material handling dollies Suitable for food processing equipment requiring frequent washdowns Effective for medical device transport in hospital corridors Recommended for warehouse logistics and assembly line machinery Perfect for audio-visual racks and laboratory equipment requiring stability Used in retail display units needing silent movement across hard floors Performance and Durability The combination of a rigid steel frame and a resilient TPE wheel creates a balanced system capable of withstanding continuous use in high-traffic areas. The 5.31-inch overall height allows for adequate ground clearance while maintaining a low center of gravity for enhanced safety. The mounting plate features four pre-drilled holes aligned for standard bolt patterns, simplifying installation onto existing equipment frames. Each unit undergoes rigorous testing to ensure the brake engages firmly without slippage, even when subjected to lateral forces. The galvanized finish extends the service life of the metal components, reducing maintenance costs and replacement frequency over time. This caster series represents a cost-effective solution for businesses seeking to upgrade their mobility hardware without compromising on load-bearing performance or floor safety standards.
