Description

3″ Red/Gray Polyurethane Wheel. Precision Sealed Ball Bearings.

Shown here at Caster City with 5″ polyurethane on polyolefin wheel.

The Polyurethane on Polyolefin Caster Wheel in the Zinc-Plated Total Locking Caster Model 3A is a great pick for light industrial casters. It features non-marking injection molded polyurethane tires mechanically bonded to a polyolefin center, available in red, gray, black, or blue colors. The wheel is made for 3”, 4”, and 5” diameters (1.25” wide) with a Shore 60D durometer and supports up to 300 lbs per wheel from 32°F to 180°F on smooth floors in research labs, hospitals, food service, schools, and institutional applications. This caster wheel comes standard with thread guards and precision sealed ball bearings. The thread guards also act as a spanner bushing while protecting the bearings. The metal caster yoke assembly, made from stamped steel and zinc-plated to resist corrosion, includes a ⅜” diameter axle bolt and a ½” diameter steel rivet holding the swivel raceways together, with two rows of ball bearings for smoother swiveling. A total lock brake locks both the wheel and the swivel on a swivel caster at the same time. This makes it ideal for a total locking industrial caster needing a smooth-rolling wheel and a secure metal fork assembly for sensitive settings.

These polyurethane on poly wheels roll easier than gray rubber on smooth floors and withstand exposure to many chemicals and solvents, making them a smart choice for institutional applications. They don’t work in applications with shock, overloading, abuse, obstructions, poor floors, or standing loads—don’t exceed 50% of the rated capacity for applications parked for prolonged periods, as the bonding agent holding the tire to its polyolefin center can be affected by such conditions. The metal caster assembly enhances durability with a dust cover shielding the swivel bearings from dirt, giving reliable performance in dry factory settings like labs or kitchens, ensuring safety with the total lock brake feature when the metal pedal brake is engaged.
