Description

3″ Polyurethane. Shown in photo with 5″ wheels. Stainless Steel Rigid Caster Model 3 is formed from stamped 304 stainless steel legs that are joined horizontally to the mounting plate.  This rigid stem caster is capable of up to 300 lbs with the proper wheel chosen. The diameter axle is ⅜” and has a bolt with lock nut.  Other lube axle bolt is available with a lubed fitting in the bolt head for lubricating the wheel.   This stem caster is purchased when direct line travel is necessary over elongated distances.  When moving huge cargo or extreme weighted loads, choose the biggest practical wheel diameter.  High polish (mirror) finish is available upon request.  This rigid caster is NSF and ROHS compliant. The mounting plate for the Stainless Steel Caster Model 3 is 2 3/8” x 3 5/8” and the hole pattern is slotted to: 1 3/4”  x 2 7/8” – 3” and is built to use a mounting bolt size of 5/16”.

This solid all polyurethane industrial caster wheel was developed for sanitary and washdown applications, and is capable of rolling indoors or outdoors. The blue all polyurethane (“AP”) caster wheel is manufactured in 1-¼” and 2” wide; with diameters ranging from 3”-5” and 4”-8”. Caster City manufactures this (“AP”) blue all polyurethane wheel to come with a roller bearing, delrin bearings, or a sealed precision ball bearing and all bearing options are available in stainless steel as well. The temperature range of this industrial caster wheel is -50°to 180° F and the durometer of the polyurethane is Shore 60D.

These wheels are non marking and non conductive. The absence of a metal center eliminates bond failure as a cause for wheel replacement. These caster wheels are especially suited for use with stainless steel casters in wet and corrosive applications. They are designed for use in Pharmaceutical Laboratories, Hospitals, and Food Processing Plants – wherever a clean sanitary design is desired. These wheels are not recommended for applications involving shock, overloading, abuse, obstructions, poor floors, or for storage (standing) loads. Hardness is 60 – 65 Durometer Shore D. Temperature range is -20° to 180° F.

These wheels are designed for use in a wet environment and they eliminate the possibility of tire separation.

The Model SS-3 has a mounting plate size of 2 3/8” x 3 5/8” with a slotted bolt hole pattern of 1 3/4” x 2 7/8” to 3”, designed to use 5/16” mounting bolts, ensuring secure attachment for institutional equipment like carts or tables.

Why is the optional total lock brake on the Model SS-3 swivel plate caster with AP Solid All Polyurethane Wheels important for safety in hospital or lab settings?

The optional total lock brake on the Model SS-3 swivel plate caster locks the swivel and wheel, fully immobilizing the stainless steel assembly to prevent movement of objects—like carts, tables, or lab equipment—when someone leans on them during tasks such as working, cleaning, or setup, ensuring safety in hospital or lab environments. Total locking casters are important because in cutting, welding, sawing, or similar tasks, people will lean against the worktable while doing their dangerous cut, and the total lock caster prevents anything in the caster from moving, totally immobilizing wheel and swivel rotation.

What makes the Model SS-3 light-duty stainless steel industrial caster a trusted choice for institutional applications in wet settings?

The Model SS-3 light-duty stainless steel industrial caster is a trusted choice for wet institutional settings due to its 304 stainless steel construction, NSF and ROHS compliance, raceway seals for high-temp use up to 400°F, zerk fitting, and dust cover for the swivel bearing, offering corrosion resistance and durability for washdown environments like labs or hospitals.

How does the Model SS-3 light-duty stainless steel industrial caster enhance stability for lab or hospital equipment in institutional settings?
