FAQ

Plate Caster Model 150

What is the weight capacity of the Plate Caster Model 150?

This beast can haul up to 20,000 lbs per caster under ideal conditions, like smooth floors and manual movement at speeds up to 3 mph. If your setup’s rough or uses powered gear, call Caster City at 800-501-3808 for a custom recommendation.

What wheel sizes come with the Plate Caster Model 150?

You get 4-inch wide wheels in 8-inch, 10-inch, or 12-inch diameters. Pick what fits your load and surface—bigger wheels handle bumpy ground like a champ.

What is the Plate Caster Model 150 made of?

It’s built tough with ASTM1045 drop-forged steel, a 5/8” thick swivel head, and 1/2” thick double-welded legs. The 7” raceway rocks 3/4” hardened steel ball bearings, and it’s zinc-plated to keep rust at bay.

What makes the ductile steel wheel in the Plate Caster Model 150 so durable?

The ductile steel wheel is a heavy-duty beast with 45,000 psi tensile strength, shrugging off wear and tear. Available in 4” widths and 8”, 10”, or 12” diameters, it handles 1,500 to 17,000 lbs depending on size and laughs in the face of impacts and heat up to 400°F.

What bearing options are available for the ductile steel wheel in the Plate Caster Model 150?

Choose from roller, precision sealed ball, bronze, or tapered roller bearings. Roller’s solid for heavy loads, precision ball keeps it smooth, bronze handles high heat, and tapered’s extra tough. Not sure? Hit up Caster City at 800-501-3808 for advice.

Can the Plate Caster Model 150 with ductile steel wheels handle abusive conditions?

Hell yeah, it’s made for punishment—think uneven floors or heavy impacts. The caster’s thick legs and the steel wheel’s toughness make it a tank, but for insane abuse, check with Caster City to lock in the perfect setup.

Are the ductile steel wheels in the Plate Caster Model 150 safe for factory floors?

Fair warning—these wheels are load-carrying beasts but can scuff up factory floors. Stick to steel plates, channels, or use V-groove wheels on angle iron tracks. Got floor worries? Email Caster City at sales@castercity.com for tips.

How does the swivel bearing in the Plate Caster Model 150 work with the ductile steel wheel?

The precision-machined swivel bearing makes turns smooth as hell, cuts down vibration, and pairs perfectly with the ductile steel wheel to keep things moving under massive loads, whether in steel mills or tight aerospace setups.

What are the top applications for the ductile steel wheel in the Plate Caster Model 150?

These wheels shine in mining (hauling ore carts), powder coating (big metal structures), welding tables (heavy parts), heavy manufacturing (oversized gear), steel mills (molten metal loads), construction (rough terrain), and industrial ovens (high-heat racks). They’re built for big loads, not floor pampering.

How do I maintain the Plate Caster Model 150 and its ductile steel wheel?

Keep it rolling smooth with grease fittings on the caster’s raceway, axle, and the wheel’s lubrication fitting. Regular greasing is key for heavy-duty jobs like mining or industrial ovens.

Can the Plate Caster Model 150 with ductile steel wheels be used with mechanically powered equipment?

It’s killer for manual movement, but for powered setups, you gotta check with Caster City first. They’ll dial in the right config to keep it safe and smooth.

What is the top plate size of the Plate Caster Model 150?

It’s a beefy 8-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, giving you a rock-solid base for heavy gear like storage tanks, aerospace dollies, or welding tables.
