4″ High Temp Glass – Nylon Wheel – Model G15 Rigid Caster

Description

Model G15 with Rigids is the same plate caster for the G15 Swivel. When moving equipment manually supported by 4 swivel casters it can be hard to control the direction you are pulling or pushing. Rigids help in controlling equipment being moved in direct line travel. Equipment with two/both rigid casters can not move sideways. These type of casters are usually equipped at the opposite end of the push handle. They have 2 legs horizontal to the mounting plate. Leg thickness is 1/4”. The diameter axle is 1/2” and is built to use wheels with a hub width of 2 7/16”. This rigid caster is built from cold forged steel. Rigid Casters can carry more load than swivel casters because they do not have an offset. Nonetheless, on our website both rigid casters and same swivel casters are shown with the same load capacity. We have other mounting plate options available and wheel bearing types are available on request.

The NP High Temp Glass-Filled Nylon Wheel in the Plate Caster Model G15 is a solid choice for industrial casters, made from glass-filled nylon with additives to resist heat and moisture, built for 4”, 5”, 6”, and 8” diameters (2” wide) and holding up to 1,000 lbs per wheel at room temperature on smooth floors in moist high heat spots like steam autoclaves, food processing, and washdown areas. This hard, non-marking heat caster wheel, NSF Listed, RoHS Compliant, and Food Service Approved, takes continuous operation up to 475°F and 525°F for 30 minutes with a plain bore and spanner bushing for a 1/2” axle, giving reliable performance in moist high heat settings when shielded from direct heat sources like flames, perfect for heavy duty industrial casters needing a 2-inch wide high temperature wheel for tough jobs.

Made for moist high heat, these “NP” high temperature casters and wheels do great in wet heat settings with their cost-effective, food-safe design, keeping smooth rolling and floor protection in food processing or autoclave setups. The non-marking surface and high temp durability make these industrial casters a smart pick for wet high heat environments, meeting NSF and RoHS standards for safe, eco-friendly use on smooth floors in extreme heat, with a larger swivel radius option on 6” and 8” wheels to reduce shimmy vibration and make direction changes easier.
