5" TPR Plate Mount Caster 396 lbs Load Silent Industrial, Pkg Qty 8

Overview

Engineered for demanding industrial environments, this 5-inch plate mount caster delivers a robust load capacity of 396 lbs while ensuring exceptionally quiet operation. The unit utilizes specialized thermoplastic rubber (TPR) wheel construction to minimize noise and vibration, making it ideal for facilities where sound control is critical. Its rigid, non-swivel design provides superior directional stability for heavy equipment transport along fixed paths. Constructed entirely from high-grade materials, this caster prevents floor marking and offers reliable performance without compromising structural integrity.

Key Features

Silent TPR wheel technology reduces operational noise in sensitive areas High load rating of 396 lbs supports heavy machinery and carts Non-swivel rigid design ensures precise straight-line tracking Floor-protective tread prevents scuffing on concrete, epoxy, and tile Durable construction resists wear, chemicals, and impact damage Smooth rolling resistance improves pushing and pulling efficiency

Applications

Hospital and healthcare facility equipment transport Noise-sensitive manufacturing assembly lines Clean room and laboratory cart mobility Food processing and beverage distribution centers Library shelving and archival storage systems Indoor warehouse logistics and material handling This caster series is specifically designed to replace standard hard-wheel casters that generate excessive noise and cause floor damage. The thermoplastic rubber compound offers an optimal balance between load-bearing strength and shock absorption, protecting both the transported goods and the facility flooring. The plate mount configuration features four pre-drilled holes for secure bolt-on installation to wooden, steel, or aluminum platforms. With an overall height of 6.5 inches, these units provide adequate ground clearance for most industrial dollies and hand trucks while maintaining a low center of gravity for safety. The 4.9-inch wheel diameter allows for easy traversal over minor floor imperfections, cracks, and expansion joints commonly found in older facilities. Because the wheels are non-marking, they are suitable for use in environments with strict hygiene standards or polished floors where aesthetic maintenance is required. The rigid frame eliminates the swivel mechanism, reducing potential points of failure and increasing the total weight capacity compared to swivel equivalents of the same size. This makes them the preferred choice for long-distance towing or applications where equipment must move strictly forward and backward. Each package contains eight units, allowing for the complete outfitting of four standard two-caster rigs or two four-caster platforms.
