Description
Model 3 Swivel Casters are made from stamped steel with a bright zinc plated finish for corrosion resistance. The mounting 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″ designed for a 5/16″ mounting bolt size. A 3/8″ diameter bolt axle with a locking nut supports the wheel and the swivel section is held together by a 1/2″ diameter rivet. This caster is built with two rows of ball bearings on hardened raceways for smooth swiveling. A metal dust cover protects the swivel raceways from dirt and dust intrusion. Wheels with 1-1/4″ and 1-1/2″ tread widths are available. Ideal for mailing and shipping stations, packaging workbenches, and fulfillment center carts. This zinc plated caster is NSF listed. A Stainless Steel version is also offered for wet or corrosive environments.

FAQ
Plate Caster Model 3 with Premium Maroon Polyurethane Wheel (PM)
What are the Premium Maroon Polyurethane Wheels on the Plate Caster Model 3?
The Premium Maroon Polyurethane Wheel (PM) features a polyurethane tire mechanically locked to a polyolefin core, with dual-row annular ball bearings for superior rollability and a 350 lbs capacity. Its Shore 60D durometer ensures durability for institutional settings like hospitals, labs, or food service, though flat spots may occur under prolonged heavy loads.
Why use Premium Maroon Polyurethane Wheels for hospital equipment?
These PM polyurethane wheels roll effortlessly due to dual-row annular ball bearings, ideal for hospital carts or beds. NSF-listed and designed for dry institutional settings, they ensure smooth movement and equipment longevity on smooth floors.
Can I park the Plate Caster Model 3 with Premium Maroon Polyurethane Wheels under load?
Avoid parking under loads exceeding 60% of the 350 lbs capacity (210 lbs) for extended periods. The polyurethane tire may develop flat spots, affecting performance in settings like labs or food service.
What do dual-row annular ball bearings do in Premium Maroon Polyurethane Wheels?
Dual-row annular ball bearings enhance load capacity and make the PM wheels easier to roll than softer materials like TPR, perfect for institutional carts on smooth, dry floors in hospitals or schools.
Are Premium Maroon Polyurethane Wheels suitable for rough industrial floors?
No, these PM polyurethane wheels are built for smooth, dry factory floors without obstructions. They’re ideal for institutional settings like labs or hospitals, not harsh industrial environments.
What are the mounting specs for the Plate Caster Model 3 with PM Polyurethane Wheels?
The Plate Caster Model 3 has a 2 3/8” x 3 5/8” top plate with a slotted bolt hole pattern of 1 3/4” x 2 7/8” to 3”, using 5/16” bolts, fitting standard institutional carts or shelving.
Can the Plate Caster Model 3 with Premium Maroon Polyurethane Wheels be used in wet environments?
The zinc-plated steel frame isn’t suited for wet, washdown, or corrosive conditions. Use these PM polyurethane wheels in dry settings like labs or hospitals to prevent rust and maintain performance.
Do Premium Maroon Polyurethane Wheels on the Plate Caster Model 3 require maintenance?
No, the dual-row annular ball bearings are sealed and maintenance-free, keeping out dust for smooth, long-lasting performance on dry floors in labs, hospitals, or food service areas.
Is the Plate Caster Model 3 with Premium Maroon Polyurethane Wheels NSF-listed for food service?
Yes, the Plate Caster Model 3 is NSF-listed, suitable for food service or medical settings in dry environments. Check with the supplier to confirm the PM polyurethane wheels meet NSF standards.
How do I replace the Premium Maroon Polyurethane Wheel on the Plate Caster Model 3?
Match the wheel’s diameter (3”, 4”, or 5”), tread width (1-1/4” or 1-1/2”), and 3/8” axle. Choose a polyurethane wheel with dual-row annular ball bearings to maintain smooth, easy rolling.
How do Premium Maroon Polyurethane Wheels compare to TPR wheels for institutional casters?
PM polyurethane wheels roll more easily than TPR due to their Shore 60D durometer and dual-row bearings, but they’re less cushioned. They’re durable for hospitals or labs but may flat spot under heavy, prolonged loads, unlike TPR’s softer ride.
Can Premium Maroon Polyurethane Wheels handle heavy loads in a lab?
These PM wheels support up to 350 lbs each under ideal conditions, suitable for lab equipment like carts or racks. For manual movement, ensure even load distribution and avoid prolonged parking to prevent flat spotting.
