Description
The Model 9 Rigid Plate Caster is the matching plate caster for the Model 9 Swivel. When equipment is manually moved on 4 swivel casters it can be difficult to control where the equipment is going. Rigid casters assist in directing equipment that is being moved in a forward or backward line. Equipment with rigid casters can not travel sideways. Rigids are usually attached to the opposite end of the push handle. The 1/4″ thick legs and 1/2″ axle diameter accommodate wheels with a 2 7/16″ hub width. This caster is constructed from stamped steel. Rigid casters carry more weight than swivel casters because there is no offset, but on our website both rigid and swivel casters are displayed with the same capacity. Ideal for furniture manufacturing, glass handling equipment, and metal fabrication shops. Additional mounting plate sizes and wheel bearing types are available on request. A 304 Stainless Steel version is also offered for applications in wet or corrosive environments.
Phenolic caster wheels are a hard composition, non-marking wheel that is excellent for large loads that do not move often. This caster wheel can handle the impacts of small obstructions and shock loads, as well as being unable to develop flat spots if left immobile with a high static load. Phenolic is not a good choice if your application exposes the wheel to excessive water, oil, and other chemicals – phenolic can slowly absorb this over time and fail. Caster City has designed this wheel to either have a precision sealed ball bearing or a roller bearing in the wheel. This phenolic caster wheel has a temperature range of -40°F to +250°F and a Durometer of Shore D 90. Ideal for warehouse pallet racks, tool crib equipment, and heavy static fixtures.
*This Plate Caster Model 9 contains 3-1/4″ Phenolic Wheel.

Phenolic Caster Wheels from Caster City
Our Phenolic Caster Wheels, made from macerated canvas mixed with phenolic resin and molded under high pressure and temperature are a cost-effective, hard-composition, non-marking solution ideal for supporting heavy stationary loads that move infrequently. With a hardness comparable to polished maple flooring and a Durometer of Shore D 90, these wheels are designed to handle large loads comparable to metal wheels without developing flat spots, even when parked for prolonged periods under load. Available in diameters from 3” to 18” and widths from 1-¼” to 4”, they come standard with roller bearings or optional precision sealed ball bearings, making them perfect for smooth concrete surfaces in industrial settings like warehouses or manufacturing facilities.
These phenolic caster wheels are highly resistant to oil, grease, gasoline, and mild acids, and can withstand shock loads and impacts from small obstructions. They are recommended for storage loads without permanent set and offer slight floor wear, except on already deteriorating surfaces. For enhanced performance, a laminated unmacerated tread option provides 25% more capacity and greater chip resistance, though the wheel material may chip or cut from contact with steel plates or rough surfaces. With a temperature range of -40°F to +250°F, and intermittent use up to 300°F, these wheels are built for durability in dry environments where they excel in supporting heavy static loads.
While Phenolic Caster Wheels are tough and versatile, they are not suitable for wet applications or environments with excessive exposure to water, oil, or chemicals, as they can slowly absorb these substances and fail over time. For applications involving routine moisture or strong acids and alkaline solutions, consider alternative wheel materials. Ideal for dry, high-capacity settings requiring impact resistance and floor protection, these wheels are a reliable, economical choice.
