The mounting plate is 2 3/8” x 3 5/8” and the hole pattern is slotted to: 1 3/4” x 2 7/8” – 3” and is designed to use a mounting bolt size of 5/16”. The reason this caster is considered “economy” is lacks the metal shield covering the swivel bearing. K3A Casters also does not come with a lubricated fitting in the swivel bearing. These features are not necessarily negative depending on the application. The shield over the swivel bearing can retain water from a wash down which can produce filthy conditions, depending on the use.

Soft gray rubber wheels like the “RF” caster wheel are non-marking rubber tires that are injection molded to an industrial plastic center. This caster wheel is 1-¼” wide and is designed to use a ⅜” axle.This caster wheel has a durometer of 90-95 A which assists in vibration and noise dampening. This caster wheel has a sealed precision ball bearing protected with plastic spanner bushings that reduce the inner diameter of the axle, act as thread guards, and guard the bearing from indirect and direct moisture exposure. If your application is moved infrequently and has a high capacity, injection molded caster wheels such as this are not the best choice.
