Description

These casters are made to order items and are NOT RETURNABLE. Lead Time 1 week or less.

Model 2-100 swivel casters are dual wheel plate casters with a capacity of up to 20,000 lbs per caster depending on the wheel selected.    These heavy loads are moved with some type of mechanically powered equipment.  Four swivel dual wheel plate casters allow equipment to be moved sideways or in any direction.  Dual wheel casters provide a high load capacity with a minimum overall height.  The wider footprint of 2 wheels per caster increases stability and minimizes floor damage by spreading the weight over a larger area.

Where loads are too heavy for floor protective wheels, or where unusually severe service factors are present, Ductile steel caster wheels will do the job. Usually in these applications the user will not consider floor wear as too great a penalty considering the work that is being done. Also available in V-groove caster wheel design, which is used to guide equipment by rolling on inverted angle iron track.

Ductile steel caster wheels have high ductility and tensile strength, and thus can absorb shock or impact without failure. These solid wheels are incredibly durable in normal service. Their load ratings are limited by bearing capacity only. These steel wheels are capable of temperatures up to 700° F depending upon the application. At temperatures above 400° F continuous, steel roller bearings and spanner bushings can start to anneal. In applications where temperatures are above 400° F please consult our engineering department for further assistance.

*This Plate Caster Model 2-100 contains Ductile Steel wheels with tapered roller bearings.

Dual wheel casters are a superior choice for demanding heavy duty industrial applications. At Caster City, we specialize in providing heavy duty dual wheel caster solutions that distribute weight evenly across two wheels mounted side by side on a single swivel assembly. This design not only boosts stability and load capacity but also ensures smoother rolling on various surfaces, from smooth concrete floors to textured carpets. Ideal for industrial carts, furniture, and medical equipment, dual wheel casters minimize wear and tear while offering unparalleled durability—tailored to meet the needs of businesses seeking reliable, long-lasting performance without compromising on ease of use.

One of the key advantages of dual wheel casters is their innovative differential action, which allows the two wheels to rotate independently at different speeds or even in opposite directions during turns. This mimics the functionality of a vehicle differential, enabling the inner wheel to slow down or reverse slightly while the outer wheel spins faster to cover more ground. As a result, scuffing and scrubbing; common issues with single-wheel designs that can damage floors and cause unsightly marks — are dramatically reduced. Our dual wheel models promote easier rolling motion, protecting your floor surfaces and extending the life of both the casters and your flooring, making them perfect for high-traffic environments like warehouses, hospitals, and offices where floor preservation is essential.

Finally, dual wheel casters excel in reducing the forces required to change direction, making maneuvering heavy loads effortless and efficient. With less “wheel scrubbing” during pivots, you’ll experience lower pushing or pulling effort, which translates to reduced user strain and improved productivity in fast-paced settings. At Caster City, we manufacture these casters with premium polyurethane on iron center, forged steel wheels, ultra high capacity nylon wheels, and ductile steel wheels with a variety of bearing choices to suit any application. Bearing choices include, needle roller bearings, precision sealed ball bearings, or tapered roller bearings.

Ductile Steel Caster Wheels from Caster City

Caster City’s Ductile Steel Industrial Caster Wheels are designed for heavy-duty applications where loads surpass the capacity of floor-protective wheels or severe service conditions are present. Ideal for industrial and manufacturing settings where floor wear is secondary to the critical tasks performed, these wheels are available in 2”, 3”, and 4” widths and diameters ranging from 4” to 16”. With high ductility and tensile strength, our ductile steel wheels absorb shocks and impacts without failure, ensuring reliable performance in rugged environments. For precise, guided movement, we offer a V-groove design that rolls smoothly on inverted angle iron tracks, providing stable and controlled operation in demanding conditions.

These Ductile Steel Industrial Caster Wheels are built for exceptional durability, featuring either roller bearings or sealed precision ball bearings, with load ratings determined solely by bearing capacity. Each wheel includes a lubrication fitting in the hub for easy maintenance and prolonged service life. Capable of withstanding temperatures up to 400°F depending on the application, these solid steel wheels are well-suited for challenging environments. For continuous temperatures above 400°F, where steel roller bearings and spanner bushings may anneal, consult our engineering team to ensure optimal performance in high-temperature applications.

While Ductile Steel Industrial Caster Wheels excel at handling substantial loads in harsh conditions, they can damage most factory floors under heavy loads. To mitigate this, they are typically used on steel plating, in metal channels, or as V-grooved wheels on angle iron tracks to protect costly flooring. Compared to Gray Iron wheels, our ductile steel wheels offer superior ductility and tensile strength, making them the top choice for environments requiring shock absorption and reliability. Contact Caster City for custom configurations to meet your heavy-duty needs with our durable, high-capacity ductile steel wheels.

FAQ

What is the Model 2-100 Heavy Duty Kingpinless Dual Wheel Caster, and why is it great for industrial jobs?
The Model 2-100 is a heavy-duty, kingpinless dual wheel plate caster, one of the toughest you can get, built to handle up to 20,000 lbs per caster depending on the wheel chosen. Its dual wheel design doubles the ground contact for rock-solid stability, especially for super heavy or sensitive loads, and spreads weight to reduce floor damage. With a zinc-plated steel frame for rust resistance, it’s perfect for moving massive equipment with powered gear like forklifts or tow trucks in factories, warehouses, or shipyards.

How do the swivel and rigid versions of the Model 2-100 caster differ?
The Model 2-100 Swivel caster has dual wheels that spin 360 degrees, letting you move equipment in any direction—sideways, forward, or backward—for easy maneuvering in tight spots. The Rigid version, also with dual wheels, locks movement to a straight line, ideal for towing or pushing heavy loads long distances with powered equipment. Both use a kingpinless design, making them some of the most durable casters out there.

What equipment works best with the Model 2-100 caster?
This caster is made for heavy machinery or sensitive equipment moved by powered gear like forklifts or tow trucks. It’s designed for industrial settings like manufacturing plants, shipyards, or big warehouses, handling extremely heavy loads (up to 20,000 lbs per caster) or delicate gear on smooth or semi-smooth floors with 2-inch wide industrial wheels.

Why does the dual wheel design of the Model 2-100 help with heavy-duty tasks?

The dual wheel setup doubles the wheel footprint, giving unmatched stability for extremely heavy or sensitive loads. It spreads weight over a bigger area to reduce floor damage and keeps the caster height low. Plus, differential action—where wheels spin in opposite directions when turning—makes it more ergonomic, needing less force to change direction compared to single-wheel casters.

What’s the load capacity of the Model 2-100 caster, and what impacts it?

It can carry up to 20,000 lbs per caster, depending on the 2-inch wide wheel you choose. Things like floor type, wheel material, and how you’re using it (like towing speed or inclines) can affect capacity. Check wheel specs to match your job’s needs.

Can the Model 2-100 caster handle sideways movement?

Yes, four swivel Model 2-100 casters let you move equipment in any direction—sideways, forward, or backward—great for positioning heavy or sensitive machinery in cramped spaces. For straight-line travel, pair with rigid casters to keep things moving directly with powered equipment.
