Description

Model 100 Plate Rigid Casters are moved mostly with machine controlled equipment because of the weighted loads they can bear. The legs on rigid model 100 have a gusset welded to the middle of the legs for added toughness. Rigid frames are zinc plated for rust resistance and there is a lubricated fitting for the wheel bearings. Model 100 Rigids are offered with both 3” wide wheels with 1” diameter axle and 4” wide wheels with a 1 1/4” diameter axle. Rigid Plate Casters are usually attached to machinery at the other end of the tow bar or push handle. Rigids help in controlling the direction machinery is moved. If equipment must to be positioned within a confined space we recommend using all swivel casters to move the equipment because rigids will not move sideways.

*This Plate Caster Model 100 contains the Flat Tread – Ductile Steel With Tapered Roller Bearings in the Wheel. The caster shown in photo with 10″ x 4″ wheel.

Ductile Steel Caster Wheels from Caster City

: DS

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.
