Description
These casters are non-returnable.
The crown-tread Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheel in the Stainless Steel Kingpinless Plate Caster Model G15 is a great ergonomic choice for heavy-duty institutional needs in labs, hospitals, and food processing plants where heavy loads and mobility are critical. This wheel features a flexible polyurethane crown tread on aluminum, made in 2” wide with 4”, 5”, 6”, and 8” diameters, holding up to 1200 lbs per wheel at room temperature on smooth floors, with a durometer of 90A, offering a semi-cushioned ride that can climb over small debris, door jambs, and expansion joints. It rolls easier than the same size conventional rubber caster wheel, protecting floors better than metal wheels, and its aluminum hub is lighter than standard polyurethane on iron wheels, resistant to rust and corrosion, and provides a higher aesthetic value.
The wheel includes precision sealed ball bearings with top hat spanners for a 1/2” axle. The zinc-plated kingpinless caster assembly, made from hot-forged stamped steel with ¼” thick legs welded to the precision machined swivel bearing, offers easier swivel rotation, reduced vibration, and longer trouble-free performance for both manually moved and mechanically powered equipment, with lubrication fittings for movable parts and a larger swivel radius on 6” and 8” wheels to reduce shimmy vibration. A heavy-duty total lock brake locks both the wheel and the swivel on this industrial caster at the same time, ensuring equipment like carts and tables stays completely immobile when the brake is engaged, making it ideal for safety in institutional settings. 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 of the caster.
These polyurethane on aluminum wheels withstand impacts and heavy loads while changing directions efficiently due to their large crown tread, but the bonding agent holding the polyurethane tire to the aluminum center can be affected by exposure to some chemicals, impact, overloading, or heat buildup from continuous usage, potentially weakening the chemical bonds if used in such conditions. They offer higher capacity while still providing some floor protection compared to hard composition wheels, making them a smart pick for heavy-duty applications needing to support heavy loads without damaging floors. The zinc-plated assembly adds durability with rust resistance, giving reliable performance in dry settings like labs or hospital kitchens, ensuring safety with the heavy-duty total lock brake feature when the metal pedal brake is engaged, making this industrial kingpinless plate caster a great fit for equipment needing stability, reduced vibration, and mobility in institutional environments.

What applications are best for the heavy-duty total locking caster with Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheels in labs and hospitals?
The heavy-duty total locking caster with Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheels is perfect for labs, hospitals, and food processing plants in institutional settings, where an industrial kingpinless plate caster moves equipment like carts and tables on smooth floors in dry environments, keeping equipment secure with its total lock brake.
What bearing type comes with the Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheel in the heavy-duty total locking caster?
The Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheel in the heavy-duty total locking caster comes standard with precision sealed ball bearings with top hat spanners for a 1/2” axle, keeping smooth rolling in institutional applications on smooth floors.
Can the Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheel in the heavy-duty industrial caster roll on rough floors?
No, the Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheel in the heavy-duty industrial caster is built for smooth floor surfaces only—rough floors or obstructions will damage these zinc-plated casters and shorten their life.
Are the zinc-plated casters with Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheels good for standing loads?
Nope, the zinc-plated casters with Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheels don’t work for standing loads—don’t exceed 70% of the rated capacity for applications parked for prolonged periods, as the tires may cause flat-spotting.
How do I protect the Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheel in the Zinc-Plated Total Locking Kingpinless Plate Caster Model G15 from damage?
Keep the Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheel in the Model G15 industrial kingpinless caster free from shock, overloading, abuse, obstructions, poor floors, rack washers, and exposure to some chemicals, impact, or heat buildup from continuous usage, which can weaken the bonding agent holding the tire to its center and affect the zinc-plated construction’s performance.
Do the Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheels in the heavy-duty total locking caster leave marks on floors in institutional settings?
No, the non-marking injection molded polyurethane tire build of the Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheels in the heavy-duty total locking caster is ideal for protecting floor surfaces in labs or hospital settings.
Why are the heavy-duty total locking casters with Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheels good for institutional applications?
The heavy-duty total locking casters with Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheels roll easier than gray rubber on smooth floors, withstand impacts and heavy loads while offering a semi-cushioned ride with a flexible crown tread that helps with efficiently changing directions, with the zinc-plated assembly ensuring rust resistance and stability, making them a smart choice for institutional applications without a big price tag.
What’s the load capacity and temperature range for the Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheel in the industrial plate caster, and how do I adjust for prolonged parking?
The Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheel in the industrial plate caster holds up to 1200 lbs per wheel at room temperature and works from 32°F to 180°F, but don’t exceed 70% of the rated capacity for applications parked for prolonged periods to avoid flat-spotting.
How does the metal pedal brake work on the Total Locking Caster Model G15 with the Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheel and zinc-plated assembly?
The metal pedal brake on the Total Locking Caster Model G15 locks both the wheel and the swivel bearing at the same time, completely immobilizing the zinc-plated assembly and turning it into an extension of the leg, keeping the heavy-duty caster secure for safety in stationary applications like carts or tables.
Why is the total lock brake on the Model G15 industrial kingpinless caster with Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheels important for safety in hospital or lab settings?
The total lock brake on the Model G15 industrial kingpinless caster with Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheels locks the swivel and the wheel, completely immobilizing the zinc-plated assembly to prevent the object—like a cart, table, or lab equipment—from moving when someone leans against it while working, cleaning, or setting up, ensuring safety during such tasks. 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 of the caster.
What makes the total lock brake on the Model G15 heavy-duty total locking caster a trusted safety feature for institutional applications?
