4″ Crown Polyurethane on Iron – Stem Caster G15

FAQ

What is the Heavy Duty Stem Caster G15 with PCI Crown Tread Polyurethane on Cast Iron Core Wheel, and what’s it used for?

The Heavy Duty Stem Caster G15 with PCI Crown Tread Polyurethane on Cast Iron Core Wheel is a robust industrial caster shipped from Texas, Ohio, or Washington, designed for heavy-duty applications with a capacity of up to 1,500 lbs per caster, suitable only for infrequently moved manual applications with no abuse. It features precision machined swivel bearings with a heat-treated raceway and no center pin, ensuring easier swiveling, reduced vibration, and longer trouble-free performance. The caster includes 1/4″ thick legs welded inside and out, a 1/2″ diameter hollow bolt axle with lock nut, and a zinc-plated finish for rust resistance, with zerk grease fittings for swivel and wheel bearings to facilitate maintenance. It offers fastener type options: threaded stems (TST1: 3/8″ – 10 x 2 1/2″, TSS7: 3/4″ – 10 x 4 1/2″, TST2: 1″ – 8 x 2 1/4″, TSC7: 1″ – 8 x 4″, TST8: 1″ – 8 x 8″ Long) and plain round stems (RDL2: 3/4″ x 4″, RDL3: 7/8″ x 4″, RDL4: 1″ x 4″, RDL5: 1 3/8″ x 4″), supporting 2″ wide “PCI” wheels in 4”, 5”, 6”, and 8” diameters with overall heights of 4” x 2” = 5-7/16”, 5” x 2” = 6-5/16”, 6” x 2” = 7-5/16”, and 8” x 2” = 9-5/16”. The “PCI” wheel’s Flex Compound polyurethane elastomer (85 Shore A durometer), chemically bonded to a heavy cast iron core, provides a semi-cushioned ride, excellent floor protection, and a crown tread that reduces surface friction for easier turns and rolling effort. Threaded stems should not be used as leveling devices, and capacity ratings assume weight is directly on the swivel bearing. It’s ideal for manually moved equipment like material handling carts and warehouse setups on dry factory floors, with optional brakes for added safety.

What’s the load capacity of the Heavy Duty Stem Caster G15 with PCI Crown Tread Polyurethane on Cast Iron Core Wheel?

The Heavy Duty Stem Caster G15 with PCI Crown Tread Polyurethane on Cast Iron Core Wheel supports up to 1,500 lbs per caster under ideal manual conditions (up to 3 mph on smooth floors) for infrequently moved applications with no abuse, with the “PCI” wheel offering up to 1,000 lbs capacity. The crown tread enhances rolling ease, but capacity ratings are based on weight directly on the swivel bearing, and threaded stems should not bear weight above the bearing. Exceeding this limit or using it with powered equipment may reduce capacity—contact us at sales@castercity.com or 800-501-3808 for specific ratings.
