Description
The Zinc-Plated Industrial Plate Caster Model K3 with RH Soft Gray Rubber Wheel is designed for light-duty industrial settings where quiet operation and floor protection are priorities. Made from stamped zinc-plated steel, it resists corrosion in dry environments, with a top plate size of 3-1/8″ x 4-1/8″, bolt hole spacing of 2-3/8″ x 3-3/8″ (slotted to 1-3/4″ x 2-15/16″), and a 3/8″ mounting bolt size. Its swivel design features a double ball raceway held by a 1/2″ steel rivet and a 3/8″ axle bolt, supporting up to 1000 lbs for a set of four casters, suitable for smooth floors in dry factory settings.
This caster uses a 1-1/4″ wide RH Soft Gray Rubber wheel, injection-molded with a non-marking thermoplastic rubber tire bonded to a polyolefin center, available in 3″ to 5″ diameters. The wheel has a Shore A 90-95 durometer, operates from -20°F to 160°F, and features annular ball bearings for maximum capacity, reducing noise, absorbing shock, and protecting floors while rolling over small debris. It resists many chemicals and solvents but is not suited for shock, overloading, abuse, obstructions, poor floors, or prolonged standing loads, which can cause flat spots.
The Model K3 is used in pharmaceutical labs, hospitals, and food service areas needing quiet, clean operation, protecting costly surfaces and extending equipment life. It’s not designed for washdown or highly corrosive environments due to its zinc-plated finish, which is less resistant than stainless steel in wet conditions. Available online at Caster City with a fast lead time, this caster provides reliable mobility for light-duty manual use on smooth, dry floors, with a recommendation to reduce load capacity by 50% for easier manual pushing.

The mounting plate is 3-1/8″ x 4-1/8″ with bolt hole spacing of 2-3/8″ x 3-3/8″, slotted to 1-3/4″ x 2-15/16″, using 3/8″ bolts.
What wheel options are available for the Zinc-Plated Industrial Plate Caster Model K3 with RH Soft Gray Rubber Wheel?
The Model K3 comes with a 1-1/4″ wide soft gray rubber wheel (available in 3″ to 5″ diameters) with annular ball bearings, but other wheel options include polyolefin or all polyurethane wheels in 3″ to 5″ diameters for the Model K3 bracket. The soft gray rubber wheel is designed for smooth floors, reducing noise and vibration, but not for rough treatment or standing loads.
Is the Zinc-Plated Industrial Plate Caster Model K3 with RH Soft Gray Rubber Wheel resistant to chemicals?
The soft gray rubber wheel resists many chemicals and solvents, making it suitable for food service, labs, and healthcare settings with light chemical exposure, though harsh chemicals may affect the tire bonding over time. The zinc-plated steel frame offers limited corrosion resistance in dry environments but is not suited for washdown or highly corrosive conditions.
What is the durometer of the Zinc-Plated Industrial Plate Caster Model K3 with RH Soft Gray Rubber Wheel?
The soft gray rubber wheel has a Shore A durometer of 90 to 95, providing a soft, shock-absorbing surface that reduces noise and vibration while protecting floors in light-duty applications, though it may develop flat spots under prolonged standing loads.
