Description

Forged Steel Caster Wheels – Unmatched Strength for Heavy-Duty Industrial Use

Our Forged Steel Caster Wheels (FS prefix) are engineered for the most demanding industrial environments, delivering superior durability and performance. Available in 2-inch, 3-inch, and 4-inch widths with diameters from 4 inches to 12 inches, these solid, spokeless wheels are crafted by heating steel to over 2,000°F and shaping it under intense pressure, creating a dense structure with 83,000 PSI tensile strength. Far tougher than ductile steel wheels (DS prefix), which are cast and prone to air bubbles, our forged wheels resist shock and impact without failure. Equipped with a 3/4″ ID Roller Bearing or Bronze Bearing and a 1/2″ ID Spanner Bushing (for 2 1/2″ and 3″ widths), or Combo Washers for a 2 7/16″ hub length on 2″ widths, these wheels are built to roll smoothly under extreme loads, limited only by bearing capacity.  All Forged Steel Products from Caster City in any size ship from the loading dock to you in just 1-2 days.

Designed for heavy industrial applications where floor protection isn’t a priority, our forged steel caster wheels excel on steel plates, in channels, or as V-groove wheels on angle iron tracks. They’re ideal for construction, material handling, and manufacturing, supporting loads up to 20,000 pounds and handling temperatures up to 700°F (consult our engineering team at 800-501-3808 for applications above 400°F to avoid annealing of bearings or bushings). Unlike ductile steel wheels that may crack under intense stress, our 4-inch to 12-inch diameter wheels offer unbreakable reliability. Customize with Flat Washers for a 2 3/16″ hub length (no spanner) or specify V-groove designs to meet your setup, ensuring top performance in the harshest conditions.

Invest in our Forged Steel Caster Wheels for long-lasting value that outperforms ductile steel alternatives. While they cost more upfront, their exceptional strength and durability reduce the need for replacements and repairs, saving you money over time. Forging uses less steel than casting, minimizing waste and environmental impact, making these wheels as sustainable as they are tough. Available in 2-inch to 4-inch widths, our wheels keep your operations running smoothly.

FAQ

Forged Steel Wheel-Only Questions and Answers

What are forged steel wheels used for?
Forged steel wheels are designed for applications where loads are too heavy for floor-protective wheels or where severe service factors like shock, impact, or extreme conditions are present. They excel in heavy-duty industrial settings such as manufacturing plants and warehouses.

How many pounds can a forged steel wheel support?

Up to 20,000lbs per wheel with tapered roller bearings in the hub of the forged steel wheel.   Contact our Engineering department at 800-501-3808 or sales@castercity.com for more information.

Why choose forged steel wheels over other wheel types?
Forged steel wheels are chosen for their high ductility and tensile strength, allowing them to absorb shock and impact without failure. They are ideal when floor wear is not a priority due to the demanding nature of the work.

What materials are forged steel wheels made from?
These wheels are drop-forged from pre-heated carbon steel billets, providing uniform material thickness and maximum load-bearing characteristics for superior durability.

How are forged steel wheels manufactured?
Forged steel wheels are produced by drop-forging carbon steel billets, then counter-boring each side of the hub to press in two tapered roller bearings, ensuring optimal capacity and service life.

What bearing type is used in forged steel wheels?
Forged steel wheels are equipped exclusively with tapered roller bearings, pressed into the hub to deliver the best performance under heavy loads.

What sizes are available for forged steel wheels?
Forged steel wheels come in widths of 2″, 3″, and 4″, with diameters ranging from 6″ to 12″, accommodating a variety of heavy-duty needs.

Can forged steel wheels handle high temperatures?
Yes, forged steel wheels can withstand temperatures up to 700°F, depending on the application, making them suitable for high-heat environments.

How do forged steel wheels affect factory floors?
Forged steel wheels will damage most factory floors under heavy loads. They are typically used on steel plates, in channels, or as V-groove wheels on angle iron tracks to mitigate floor wear.

What is the purpose of the lubrication fitting on forged steel wheels?
A lubrication fitting in the hub allows for easy maintenance, ensuring smooth operation and extended wheel life.

Are forged steel wheels durable?
Yes, their solid, spokeless design and high ductility and tensile strength make forged steel wheels unbreakable in normal service, with load ratings limited only by bearing capacity.

What are the environmental considerations for forged steel wheels?
Due to their potential to damage floors, forged steel wheels are best used on steel plates, in channels, or as V-groove wheels on angle iron tracks to protect factory surfaces.

Why Choose Forged Steel Wheels

WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE A FORGED STEEL WHEEL!

Our Forged Steel Wheels, available in 2-inch, 3-inch, and 4-inch widths with diameters from 4-inch to 12-inch, are built to dominate tough jobs, from racing to heavy industrial tasks. With an 83,000 PSI tensile strength, they’re the top choice for durability and value. Got questions? We’ve got clear, no-nonsense answers to keep you rolling!

What’s the difference between forged steel wheels and machined steel wheels?

Our forged steel wheels are made by heating a solid steel block to over 2,000°F and shaping it under intense pressure, creating a strong, flawless structure. Machined steel wheels are usually cast—molten steel poured into a mold—then shaped with tools, which can leave weak spots like air bubbles. Our 4-inch to 12-inch diameter forged wheels are tougher and more reliable for heavy-duty use.

How much stronger are forged steel wheels than machined steel wheels?

Our forged steel wheels are much stronger, with better resistance to wear than cast wheels, which machined wheels often come from. They can handle about 20% heavier loads and resist cracking under impact, making them perfect for tough conditions where machined wheels might fail.

What are forged steel wheels best used for?

Our forged steel wheels, in 2-inch to 4-inch widths and 4-inch to 12-inch diameters, are ideal for high-pressure jobs like car racing, off-road driving, or heavy industrial tasks such as construction or material handling. They can carry loads up to 20,000 pounds and handle temperatures up to 800°F, perfect for casters, heavy equipment, or performance vehicles that need to stay solid.

Are forged steel wheels worth the higher price?

Yes, they’re a smart investment. Our forged steel wheels cost more upfront due to the forging process, but they last longer, saving you on replacements and repairs. They use less steel, cutting waste and costs over time, giving you great value for your 2-inch to 4-inch wide, 4-inch to 12-inch diameter wheels.

How do forged steel wheels perform in tough conditions?

Our wheels are built to take a beating. Forging eliminates weak spots, creating a dense structure that resists cracks, wear, and extreme heat. Available in 2-inch to 4-inch widths and 4-inch to 12-inch diameters, they’re nearly unbreakable, with load limits set by bearings, not the wheel itself, making them ideal for harsh environments like race tracks or industrial sites.

Why choose forged steel wheels over less expensive ductile steel wheels?

Our forged steel wheels, with sizes ranging from 4-inch to 12-inch diameters, outlast and outperform  less-expensive ductile steel wheels. They’re stronger, free of casting flaws, and built to last, saving you from costly repairs. Machined wheels, often cast, can crack under stress due to weak spots. Our wheels are designed for top-notch reliability.

Can forged steel wheels be customized for specific needs?

Absolutely! Our 2-inch, 3-inch, and 4-inch wide forged steel wheels, with diameters from 4-inch to 12-inch, come in various load capacities and finishes to fit your needs, whether for industrial casters, racing, or heavy machinery. Need a custom bolt pattern or heat-resistant coating? We’ll tailor your wheels to perform perfectly.

How environmentally friendly are forged steel wheels?

Forging uses less steel than machined wheels, cutting waste. Our 4-inch to 12-inch diameter wheels last longer, so you replace them less often, reducing your environmental impact over time.
