FAQ
Plate Caster Model 30 FAQ
What is the weight capacity of the Plate Caster Model 30 with PX polyurethane wheels?
The Model 30 caster bracket supports up to 7,000 lbs per caster under ideal conditions (smooth floors, manual movement at 3 mph), but the PX polyurethane wheel’s capacity varies by size—for the 12” x 3” wheel, it’s limited to 6,500 lbs, so each caster with that wheel maxes out at 6,500 lbs. Smaller sizes like 6”, 8”, or 10” x 3” may have lower capacities. For tow-line or powered applications, contact Caster City at 800-501-3808 to confirm the setup.
What wheel sizes are available for the Plate Caster Model 30 with PX polyurethane wheels?
For the Model 30, PX polyurethane wheels are 3 inches wide and available in diameters of 6, 8, 10, and 12 inches (e.g., 10″ x 3″). Choose based on your load and floor—larger diameters improve maneuverability on uneven surfaces.
What materials are used in the Plate Caster Model 30 with PX polyurethane wheels?
The caster is built from zinc-plated steel with a 3” swivel bearing, double-welded legs, and hardened steel ball bearings, all zinc-plated for corrosion resistance. The PX wheel features a 1-inch thick polyurethane tire (95A Durometer) bonded to a sturdy iron core.
Why choose PX polyurethane wheels for the Plate Caster Model 30?
PX wheels are designed for heavy-duty tow-line applications, with a premium polyurethane tire that reduces internal heat buildup, extending lifespan. Non-marking and floor-protecting, they resist flat spotting, chemicals, and wear, with precision sealed ball or tapered roller bearings for smooth, low-effort rolling.
What bearings are used in the PX polyurethane wheels for the Plate Caster Model 30?
The 3-inch wide PX wheels include precision sealed ball or tapered roller bearings, delivering smooth operation and low drawbar pull for heavy loads. For specific needs, like high-temperature environments, consult Caster City at 800-501-3808 to select the best bearing type.
Can the Plate Caster Model 30 with PX polyurethane wheels operate in demanding environments?
Yes, it performs reliably from -20°F to 180°F, resisting oil, grease, and harsh chemicals. Ideal for controlled settings like automotive tow-lines, boat building, or observatories, it ensures durability and floor protection. For extreme conditions, reach out to Caster City for guidance.
How do PX polyurethane wheels in the Plate Caster Model 30 protect factory floors?
The 95A polyurethane tire is non-marking, absorbs impacts, and minimizes floor wear, unlike steel wheels, making it perfect for automotive plants, shipyards, or observatories. For sensitive surfaces, V-groove wheels on angle iron tracks add protection—email Caster City at sales@castercity.com for advice.
Which industries use the Plate Caster Model 30 with PX polyurethane wheels?
It’s trusted in automotive, aerospace, boat/yacht building, observatories, heavy manufacturing, warehouses, and defense. It excels in tow-line applications, moving yacht hulls, telescope roofs, aircraft components, or heavy carts while safeguarding floors.
What are the primary applications for the PX polyurethane wheels in the Plate Caster Model 30?
They shine in automotive tow-lines (hauling vehicle parts), boat/yacht building (hull and mold transport), observatories (telescope roof movement), aerospace (aircraft component handling), heavy manufacturing (machinery carts), warehouses (goods transport), and defense (helipads or fortifications). They resist flat spotting for stationary loads and reduce noise for precision environments.
How do I maintain the Plate Caster Model 30 with PX polyurethane wheels?
Lubricate the grease fittings on the caster’s raceway and axle regularly. Consistent maintenance ensures smooth, quiet performance in high-demand applications like automotive tow-lines or observatory systems.
Can the Plate Caster Model 30 with PX polyurethane wheels be used with mechanically powered equipment?
It’s optimized for manual or tow-line applications, but powered use is possible with customization. Contact Caster City at 800-501-3808 to ensure a safe, effective setup for powered equipment like tow-line systems.
What is the top plate size of the Plate Caster Model 30?
The top plate is 4-1/2″ x 6-1/4″, with bolt hole spacing of 3-3/8” x 5-1/4” to 2-7/16” x 4-15/16”, and uses 3/8″ mounting bolts, making it a sturdy fit for heavy-duty equipment like tow-line carts or telescope roof systems.
