8 in Polyurethane Plate Mount Caster 948 lbs Load Industrial, Pkg Qty 2

Overview

This heavy-duty industrial caster is engineered for demanding material handling environments where stability, floor protection, and high load capacity are critical. Designed to support substantial static loads up to 948 lbs per unit, this component features an 8-inch polyurethane wheel that balances durability with smooth rolling resistance. The robust plate mount configuration ensures secure attachment to machinery, carts, and equipment frames, while the integrated total locking brake system provides reliable positioning on inclines or uneven surfaces. Its non-marking tread preserves sensitive flooring types, making it suitable for facilities that require both mobility and surface integrity.

Key Features

Static load capacity rated at 948 lbs per caster Total locking brake system secures wheel rotation and swivel movement Non-marking polyurethane tread protects concrete, epoxy, and tile floors Reduced operational noise compared to traditional metal or hard rubber wheels Precision ball bearing raceway for effortless maneuverability under load Corrosion-resistant zinc-plated steel housing for extended service life High-impact resistance suitable for rough industrial terrain

Applications

Heavy-duty material handling carts and dollies Industrial machinery relocation and positioning Assembly line transport systems Warehouse logistics and distribution equipment Food processing and pharmaceutical manufacturing where floor hygiene is paramount Audio-visual staging and portable platform setups Automotive assembly jigs and fixtures This caster solution delivers exceptional performance for facilities requiring reliable mobility without compromising structural integrity. The polyurethane formulation offers superior shock absorption, reducing vibration transmitted to delicate cargo or sensitive instrumentation. The plate mount design, with its standardized 4.5 by 4.0 inch bolt pattern, simplifies retrofitting onto existing equipment or integration into new fabrication projects. When engaged, the dual-locking mechanism prevents both wheel rotation and swivel drift, ensuring equipment remains stationary during loading, unloading, or maintenance operations. The zinc plating on the steel fork provides a defensive barrier against moisture, oils, and mild chemical exposure common in factory settings. With a package quantity of two units, this product supports immediate deployment for four-wheel cart configurations when purchased in pairs, streamlining procurement for fleet upgrades or new equipment builds.
