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.

Are the stainless steel swivel casters with AP Solid All Polyurethane Wheels in the Model SS-3 good for standing loads?

No, the stainless steel swivel casters with AP Solid All Polyurethane Wheels in the Model SS-3 are not ideal for standing loads—don’t exceed 50% of the rated capacity for prolonged parked applications to avoid potential damage.

How do I protect the AP Solid All Polyurethane Wheel in the Stainless Steel Swivel Plate Caster Model SS-3 from damage?

Protect the AP Solid All Polyurethane Wheel in the Model SS-3 swivel plate caster by avoiding shock, overloading, abuse, obstructions, or rough floors, ensuring its performance in washdown environments.

Why are the stainless steel swivel casters with AP Solid All Polyurethane Wheels good for institutional washdown applications?

The stainless steel swivel casters with AP Solid All Polyurethane Wheels offer smooth, quiet rolling, resist water, chemicals, and solvents, and provide clean operation, with the stainless steel assembly ensuring corrosion resistance, making them a practical choice for washdown applications in institutional settings.

What’s the load capacity and temperature range for the AP Solid All Polyurethane Wheel in the Model SS-3 light-duty plate caster, and how do I handle high-temperature applications or prolonged parking?

The AP Solid All Polyurethane Wheel in the Model SS-3 light-duty plate caster supports up to 300 lbs per wheel and operates from -20°F to 180°F; the caster can handle up to 400°F due to its raceway seals, with the TL and TB brakes being high temp compatible—don’t exceed 50% of the rated capacity for prolonged parking, and consult Caster City for extended high-temp use.

What brake options are available for the Stainless Steel Swivel Plate Caster Model SS-3 with AP Solid All Polyurethane Wheels?

The Model SS-3 offers three stainless steel brake options: the Total Locking Brake (TL) to lock both wheel and swivel (high temp compatible), the Top Lock Brake (TB) with a metal pedal on the side (high temp compatible), and the Plastic Top Lock Brake (PTB) with a plastic pedal behind the wheel (not high temp usable due to the plastic pedal).

What are the mounting specifications for the Stainless Steel Swivel Plate Caster Model SS-3 with AP Solid All Polyurethane Wheels?

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?

The Model SS-3 light-duty stainless steel industrial caster enhances stability for lab or hospital equipment with its double ball bearing swivel for smooth rotation, raceway seals and dust cover for durability, and brake options like TL, TB, and PTB to secure equipment—like carts or tables—firmly in place during operations, ensuring safety in institutional settings.
