Description

Black finished casters are designed with a semi-gloss black coating, not only enhancing their visual appeal but also providing protection against corrosion.

E-coat is an electrically applied paint coating. It is used as either a decorative or protective coating that enhances the appearance of parts while also protecting the surface of parts. Typical thickness is regulated to range between .0002” to .001” depending on the requirements.

Plate Caster Model 3 is made using a stamped steel construction and is bright zinc plated for corrosion resistance.  The mounting plate 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 designed to use a mounting bolt size of 5/16”.  This plate caster uses a ⅜” diameter axle and the swivel caster is held together by a 1⁄2” diameter rivet.  This institutional plate caster is constructed with two ball bearings on hardened raceways to ensure life of the caster.  There is a metal dust cap protecting the swivel raceways to shield them from dirt and dust.  Features wheels with 1-¼” and 1-1⁄2” tread widths.

Caster City manufactures this plate caster in Stainless Steel Caster Model 3.  This caster comes standard with two high temperature white seals in the swivel bearing that has a temperature range of -20F to 450F.  Also come with a grease fitting on the dust cover and axle, and buffed to a smooth reflective surface.

Caster City also manufactures this plate caster in Economy Stainless Steel Plate Caster Model K3.  Constructed with S304 stainless steel and comes with no dust cap or grease fitting on the swivel making it economically efficient for most applications.

Polyolefin Caster Wheels are injection molded from a blend of thermoplastic polymers forming a one piece solid sanitary design.  Polyolefin caster wheels are resistant to most commonly encountered liquids.  Polyolefin caster wheels are a hard composition wheel, meaning they will not develop flat spots if left parked for a prolonged period of time.  Polyolefin caster wheels can come with either a flat tread face with a plain bore option, or a crowned tread face with either plain bore or sealed ball bearings.  Caster City manufactures this polyolefin wheel in 1-¼” wide and 2” wide.

Polyolefin Caster Wheels from Caster City

Polyolefin Caster Wheels are injection molded from a blend of thermoplastic polymers, forming a one-piece solid sanitary design that prioritizes durability and hygiene. These wheels are available with a plain bore, precision sealed ball bearings, roller bearings, or Delrin bearings for smooth operation across various light to medium-duty applications. As a cost-effective and lightweight option, polyolefin wheels are hard, non-marking, and non-conductive, offering superior resistance to water, chemicals, solvents, acids, grease, oils, and gasoline. Their unique composition ensures excellent abrasion resistance and impact absorption, making them a reliable choice for environments where sanitation and floor protection are essential.

Polyolefin Caster Wheels are particularly suited for wet and corrosive applications due to their outstanding resistance to most commonly encountered liquids, ensuring long-lasting performance. Their slightly crowned tread enhances rollability and maneuverability, and they do not develop flat spots when parked for extended periods. With a hardness of 65–70 Shore D, these wheels provide floor protection, low noise, and easy cleaning, while remaining impervious to sterilization processes. However, they can become brittle in cold, dry environments like refrigerated storerooms and should not be used in freezers or heat applications above 180°F during intermittent usage, such as rack washers.

Ideal for bakeries, food processing, dairies, meat packaging, laundries, supermarkets, warehouses, manufacturing plants, cleanrooms, medical facilities, and offices, these wheels excel where chemical resistance and non-marking performance are critical. Capable of handling impacts and loads up to 900 lbs per wheel depending on size, they offer economical mobility in harsh conditions.
