Description
Rigid Plate Model 30 is a step up from the rigid casters shown on G15 Model. These Rigid casters have wider wheels, large wheel bearings, a higher load capacity rating, and a bigger mounting plate than the rigid caster that is shown on G15. It features superior performance on both manually moved and mechanically powered equipment. The Model 30 frames are zinc plated for rust resistance. There are grease fittings for the wheel bearings. rigids are usually attached to equipment at the opposite end of the push handle and where swivel casters are attached. This enables the person pushing the equipment to be able to control the direction of travel. It should also be stressed that rigids have 2 legs perpendicular to the mount plate, therefore they can not move sideways. Equipment with 2 rigid casters and 2 swivel casters must be handled into position. For more information and/or help placing an order, please give us a call at 800-501-3808.
*This Plate Caster Model 30 contains the Gray Iron Wheel. The caster shown in photo with 10″ x 3″ wheel.
Gray Iron Caster Wheels from Caster City

The Gray Iron Industrial Caster Wheels we engineer at Caster City are a low-cost solution primarily chosen for their affordability, offering a budget-friendly option for applications where cost is a priority and floor protection is not a concern. Available in 2” and 3” widths with diameters ranging from 3” to 12”, these wheels are equipped with a lubrication fitting in the hub for easy maintenance and come with either roller bearings or sealed precision ball bearings for reliable performance. Designed to support heavy loads without developing flat spots, Gray Iron wheels are a practical choice for static or low-mobility applications in industrial settings, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 400°F depending on the application.
While Gray Iron Caster Wheels provide an economical alternative, they are not recommended for severe or abusive applications due to their lower strength compared to steel wheels. For only a modest increase in cost, we recommend our steel wheels, which offer nearly twice the strength and durability. Gray Iron wheels will damage most factory floors under heavy loads, so they are typically used on steel plating, in metal channels, or as V-grooved wheels rolling on inverted angle iron tracks to protect costly flooring. These wheels are best suited for environments where budget constraints outweigh the need for enhanced performance or floor preservation.
Ideal for cost-conscious applications requiring reliable load support, Gray Iron Industrial Caster Wheels deliver functionality at a low initial cost. However, for superior strength and longevity, we encourage customers to consider our steel wheel options. Contact Caster City to discuss your needs or for custom configurations of our Gray Iron Caster Wheels, ensuring you get the most cost-effective solution for your industrial requirements.
