The rigid and swivel caster are constructed from stamped 304 stainless steel. The swivel caster contains a center pin that uses a ½” stainless steel rivet The axle diameter is a 3/8” bolt with a latching nut. You can order an stainless steel lube axle which offers a lubricated fitting in the bolt head to grease the wheel. This stainless steel caster also has a mirror finish available upon request. You can get a large selection of wheels. They are NSF and ROHS compliant. The mounting plate is 2 3/8” x 3 5/8” and the hole pattern is slotted to: 1 3/4” x 2 7/8” – 3” and is designed to use a mounting bolt size of 5/16”. The reason this caster is considered “economy” is lacks the metal shield covering the swivel bearing. K3A Casters also does not come with a lubricated fitting in the swivel bearing. These features are not necessarily negative depending on the application. The shield over the swivel bearing can retain water from a wash down which can produce filthy conditions, depending on the application. This caster is ideal for washdown applications such as an animal lab or butcher table.

Phenolic wheels are non-marking, hard composition wheels designed for supporting large loads comparable to a metal wheel. Phenolic can not develop a flat spot if left parked for a long period under load, and the wheel is capable of withstanding shock loads and the impacts of small obstructions. Phenolic can absorb water and other chemicals if excessive exposure occurs. Phenolic caster wheels come standard with a roller bearing and have precision sealed ball bearings as an option. This wheel comes in diameters ranging from 3” to 18” and the width of the wheels ranges from 1-¼” to 4”. Finally, every phenolic wheel is built with a Durometer of Shore D 90 and the temperature range is -40° to +250° F. Contact us if you need help with placing an order: 800-501-3808
