Polyurethane Plate Mount Stem Caster 5in 507lbs for Industrial, Pkg Qty 8

Overview

This heavy-duty rigid caster is engineered for demanding industrial environments where stable, fixed-direction mobility is essential. Designed to support substantial loads without the complexity of a swivel mechanism, this unit features a robust plate mount configuration that ensures secure attachment to carts, racks, and machinery. The wheel utilizes a high-grade polyurethane tread that balances load-bearing capacity with floor protection, preventing scuffing or damage to sensitive warehouse surfaces. With a streamlined profile and reinforced construction, this caster delivers quiet operation and long-term durability in facilities ranging from manufacturing plants to distribution centers.

Applications

Ideal for assembly line conveyors requiring fixed tracking Suitable for heavy industrial shelving and storage racks Perfect for manufacturing carts transporting raw materials Effective in food processing facilities due to chemical resistance Recommended for airport baggage handling systems Used in automotive shops for tool benches and equipment stands Applicable in hospitals for stationary medical supply transport Installation and Performance Notes The plate mount design features four pre-drilled holes for straightforward bolting onto flat surfaces, ensuring a rigid connection that eliminates wobble during transport. The 6.6-inch overall height allows for adequate ground clearance while maintaining a low center of gravity for loaded equipment. The polyurethane formulation offers excellent abrasion resistance, significantly outperforming standard rubber or nylon wheels in high-traffic areas. Operators will notice reduced rolling resistance, which minimizes operator fatigue when pushing heavily loaded fixtures. This product is sold in packages of eight, providing a complete set for standard four-wheeled configurations with spares available for immediate replacement needs. The fixed orientation makes it particularly effective when paired with swivel casters on opposite ends of a cart to create a maneuverable yet stable towing arrangement.
