5" Polyurethane Plate Mount Caster 1320 lbs Load for Heavy Duty, Pkg Qty 2

Overview

This heavy-duty plate mount caster is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial material handling and machinery transport. Designed with a robust iron-core wheel wrapped in high-grade polyurethane, it delivers an exceptional balance between load-bearing capacity and floor protection. The unit supports a static load rating of 1,320 lbs per caster, making it ideal for moving dense equipment, assembly line fixtures, and heavy storage racks. Its construction minimizes rolling resistance while ensuring long-term durability in high-traffic environments where reliability is critical.

Key Features

Static load capacity rated at 1,320 lbs per wheel Iron-core construction provides superior structural integrity Polyurethane tread protects delicate factory flooring from scuffs and marks Low rolling resistance reduces operator fatigue during manual pushing Precision ball bearings ensure smooth swiveling and straight-line tracking Resistant to oils, greases, and common industrial solvents Vibration dampening properties protect sensitive cargo during transit

Applications

Heavy manufacturing assembly lines Warehouse logistics and pallet transport systems Industrial machinery relocation and installation Automotive production equipment Food processing facilities requiring washdown-compatible hardware Hospital and laboratory equipment movement where floor preservation is priority Aerospace component handling carts The design prioritizes safety and stability under significant stress. The wide 2-inch tread width distributes weight evenly, preventing point-loading damage to concrete or epoxy floors. The plate mount configuration offers a secure attachment surface, utilizing a standardized bolt pattern that simplifies integration into existing custom carts or OEM equipment frames. Unlike softer rubber compounds, the polyurethane formulation used here maintains its shape under maximum load, preventing deformation that can lead to uneven rolling or tracking issues. This caster is specifically suited for environments where both high weight distribution and reliable maneuverability are required simultaneously. The iron core prevents the wheel from collapsing under extreme weights, a common failure point in all-plastic or hollow-core alternatives. Whether deployed in a fabrication shop, distribution center, or maintenance facility, this caster provides the necessary support to keep operations moving efficiently without compromising infrastructure or worker safety.
