Description
Swivel Radius for 3 inch PTB brake = 4-3/8″ ± 1/8″
Rigid Caster Model 3 is the matching rigid plate caster for the Model 3 Swivel. The top plate is 2-3/8″ x 3-5/8″ with a 1-3/4″ x 3″, slotted to 1-3/4″ x 2-7/8″ and uses a mounting bolt size of 5/16″. This rigid caster has a 3/8″ diameter bolt axle with a locking nut and uses 1-1/4″ and 1-1/2″ wide wheels. Welded leg construction provides strength. Multiple wheels and brake options are offered. When pushing or pulling equipment by hand with 4 swivel casters it can be difficult to control the direction of push or pull. Rigid casters are used to assist in controlling direction during straight line travel. Equipment with rigid casters installed can not move sideways. Ideal for sewing room equipment, upholstery shop carts, and fabric cutting tables. This plate caster is NSF listed. A Stainless Steel Model 3 version is also available for wet or corrosive environments.
High Temperature Phenolic caster wheels make an excellent, low cost choice for supporting loads as they roll into and out of an oven. The High Temperature Phenolic caster wheel is best suited for dry heat applications such as powder coating, dry heat bakery ovens, dry heat autoclaves and more. High Temperature Phenolic wheels are a hard composition caster wheel that is non-marking and made from mostly glass fibers. The temperature range of these high temperature caster wheels is up to 475°F for continuous use, and 525°F for intermittent use. If used above 475°F for more than 30 minutes continuous operation it will reduce the life of the wheel. These wheels have a hard surface and should be used on smooth floor surfaces. It is always best to shield High Temperature Wheels from a direct heat intake source. Caster City can furnish high temperature phenolic wheels in either a plain bore, with a straight roller bearing, or with an oilite bronze bearing sleeve for high temperature applications. Ideal for powder coating ovens, industrial bakeries, and dry heat autoclave applications.

FAQ
Plate Caster Model 3 with 1.25-Inch Wide TP High Temp Phenolic Wheel
What material are “TP” high temperature wheels made from in the Plate Caster Model 3 for industrial casters?
The TP High Temp Phenolic Wheel in the Model 3 industrial caster is made from fiberglass, phenol resin, and additives to resist heat, creating a hard, non-marking high temperature wheel for smooth rolling in high temp dry heat settings.
What applications are best for the institutional caster with “TP” high heat casters in dry heat environments?
The institutional caster with TP high heat casters and wheels is perfect for dry high heat applications, like powder coating, dry heat bakery ovens, and dry heat autoclaves, where industrial casters move loads on smooth floors in hot zones.
What’s the temperature limit for the TP High Temp Phenolic Wheel in the light duty caster for high temperature use?
The TP High Temp Phenolic Wheel in the light duty caster handles continuous operation up to 475°F and can hit 525°F for 30 minutes max—cool it to room temperature after high heat use to keep its service life strong.
What sizes do the TP high temperature wheels come in for the Plate Caster Model 3 industrial casters?
The TP high temperature wheels in the Model 3 industrial casters come in 3”, 4”, and 5” diameters (1.25” wide), offering options for heavy duty casters in dry high heat applications on smooth floors.
Can the TP High Temp Phenolic Wheel in the institutional caster roll on rough floors as a high temp wheel?
No, the TP High Temp Phenolic Wheel in the institutional caster is built for smooth floor surfaces only—rough floors or obstructions will damage these industrial casters and shorten their life.
Are the light duty casters with TP wheels good for moist heat environments?
Nope, the light duty casters with TP wheels are made for dry high heat only and will fail in moist heat like steam autoclaves—for moist heat, pick our “NP” Glass-Filled Nylon high temperature wheels.
How do I protect the TP High Temp Phenolic Wheel in the Plate Caster Model 3 in high temp dry heat settings?
Keep the TP High Temp Phenolic Wheel in the Model 3 high temperature caster shielded from direct heat sources, like flames or radiant heat, to prevent damage and maintain performance in high temp dry heat settings.
Do the TP high temperature wheels in the industrial caster leave marks on floors in high heat environments?
No, the fiberglass, phenol resin, and additive build of the TP high temperature wheels in the industrial caster is non-marking, ideal for protecting smooth floors in dry heat autoclaves or powder coating lines.
Why are the heavy duty casters with TP High Temp Phenolic Wheels cost-effective for high temp use?
The heavy duty casters with TP High Temp Phenolic Wheels deliver durable, high temperature performance at a lower cost than other high temperature casters, making them a smart choice for dry high heat applications without a big price tag.
Can the TP High Temp Phenolic Wheel in the institutional caster go above 525°F in high temp dry heat settings?
No, running the TP High Temp Phenolic Wheel in the institutional caster above 475°F for more than 30 minutes or past 525°F will cut its service life—always let it cool down after high heat exposure.
