5 in Polyurethane Top Plate Stem Caster 286 lbs Load Industrial, Pkg Qty 20

Overview

This industrial-grade rigid stem caster is engineered for heavy-duty mobility in demanding commercial and manufacturing environments. Featuring a 5-inch high-resilience polyurethane wheel, the unit delivers a substantial load capacity of 286 lbs while ensuring the protection of sensitive flooring surfaces. The design incorporates a robust top plate mounting system with overall dimensions of 6.1 x 3.6 x 2.6 inches, facilitating secure integration into equipment frames, carts, and machinery. Unlike swivel models, this directional caster provides stable, straight-line movement ideal for assembly lines and long-distance transport where tracking precision is critical. The construction eliminates the need for regular maintenance, offering a cost-effective solution for facilities requiring reliable, long-term performance under continuous operational stress.

Applications

Industrial manufacturing assembly lines Warehouse logistics and material handling carts Heavy-duty shelving and storage racks Hospital and laboratory equipment transport Food processing and beverage distribution centers Airport baggage handling systems Automotive production facility workflows The polyurethane compound used in the wheel formulation offers an optimal balance between hardness and elasticity, allowing the caster to roll smoothly over minor floor imperfections without transmitting excessive vibration to the loaded equipment. This characteristic is particularly valuable when transporting delicate instruments or glass components where stability is paramount. The top plate configuration provides a wide surface area for bolt attachment, distributing weight evenly across the mounting point to prevent frame deformation under maximum load conditions. With a package quantity of 20 units, this product is suited for large-scale fleet upgrades or the equipping of multiple workstations within a single facility. The rigid orientation prevents unwanted pivoting, making it the preferred choice for applications where operators must push loads in a fixed path with minimal resistance. Its durability ensures consistent performance in environments subject to frequent washdowns, exposure to oils, or varying temperature fluctuations typical of industrial settings.
