Description

The Plate Caster Model 3 Swivel is a stamped steel caster with bright zinc plating for corrosion resistance. The top plate measures 2-3/8″ x 3-5/8″ and the hole pattern is 1-3/4″ x 3″, slotted to 1-3/4″ x 2-7/8″ using a 5/16″ mounting bolt size. The axle is a 3/8″ diameter bolt with a locking nut and the swivel caster is held together by a 1/2″ diameter rivet. This plate caster is built with two rows of ball bearings on hardened raceways for dependable swivel performance. A metal dust cover protects the swivel raceways from contamination by dirt and dust. Features wheels with 1-1/4″ and 1-1/2″ tread widths. Ideal for restaurant bussing carts, catering equipment, and hotel housekeeping trolleys. This zinc plated caster is NSF listed. This caster is also available in Stainless Steel for wet or corrosive environments.

This caster comes with a gray, non-marking, crown tread thermoplastic rubber (TPR) tire injection molded to a polyolefin center. The crowned tread profile on the “RD” caster wheel reduces the contact area with the floor, allowing for easier swiveling and improved maneuverability under load. These caster wheels are popular on equipment in pharmaceutical laboratories, hospitals, food service and other institutional applications. Soft rubber provides more desirable operating characteristics than any other wheel material. These gray soft rubber wheels are non-marking, quiet, absorb shock (prolonging equipment life and protecting cargo), can roll over small objects, protect costly floor surfaces, and minimize vibration. These caster wheels provide a softer ride than polyurethane and yet withstand exposure to many chemicals and solvents. The durometer of this crown tread soft gray rubber caster wheel is 75A, making it exceptionally soft and ideal for vibration absorption, noise reduction, and floor protection. This 1.25″ wide “RD” crown tread rubber caster wheel is equipped with a precision sealed ball bearing or delrin bearing. These caster wheels should not be left standing under load for extended periods as the tires may take a permanent “set” or develop flat spots. Ideal for hospitals, pharmaceutical laboratories, and food service applications.
