Description
Model 50 rigid casters and the matching swivel casters have the same wheels displayed on Plate Model 30. The weight capacity ratings in Model 50 are usually greater for the exact wheels shown in Model 30. The heavier and bigger mounting plate on Model 50, larger swivel bearing, and heavier legs are the reasons for the greater load capacity ratings shown on rigid model 50. Rigids are mostly used to control the direction when equipment is moving in a direct line. The one exception are rigid plate casters which have v-groove wheels. V-groove wheels rotate on an inverted angle iron track which controls the line of travel. When swivel and rigid casters are on the same piece of machinery, swivel casters should be connected below the push handle, and rigid casters should be attached to the opposite end of where the push handle is located. Rigid casters can not move sideways. They require equipment to be maneuvered into place. Our recommendation is you use 4 swivel casters when maximum mobility is required in a confined work environment.
Phenolic caster wheels make an excellent, low cost choice for supporting high standing loads that move infrequently. This phenolic caster wheel can not develop flat spots and the wheel is capable of withstanding the impacts of small obstructions or shock loads. Phenolic can absorb water and other chemicals if excessive exposure occurs. Phenolic caster wheels come standard with a roller bearing and have precision sealed ball bearings as an option. This wheel comes in diameters ranging from 3” to 18” and the width of the wheels ranges from 1-¼” to 4”. Finally, every phenolic wheel is built with a Durometer of Shore D 90 and the temperature range is -40° to +250° F. Contact us if you need help with placing an order: 800-501-3808
