Technical Specifications



































Description
300 Lb. Maximum Capacity Each5″ All Solid Polyurethane. Swivel Bearing Seal & Grease Fitting. This Model 3 stainless steel stem caster is formed from 304 stainless stamped steel. This stainless steel stem caster uses an axle bolt with a diameter of ⅜”, and this stainless steel stem caster has it’s swivel bearing held together by a ½” rivet. Stainless Steel stem Caster Model 3 caster brackets have two rows of ball bearings rotating on raceways for smoother swiveling. There is a solid cover over the swivel raceways to shield them from dirt and dust. The Stainless Steel Stem Caster Model 3 performs best if you limit the load to no more than 1000 lbs on a set of 4 Model 3 casters.
This solid all polyurethane industrial caster wheel was developed for sanitary and washdown applications, and is capable of rolling indoors or outdoors. The blue all polyurethane (“AP”) caster wheel is manufactured in 1-¼” wide and with diameters ranging from 3”-5”. Caster City manufactures this 1-1/4″ wide (“AP”) blue all polyurethane wheel to come with a steel spanner bushing which is available in stainless steel as well upon request. The temperature range of this industrial caster wheel is -50°to 180° F and the durometer of the polyurethane is Shore 60D.
These wheels are non marking and non conductive. The absence of a metal center eliminates bond failure as a cause for wheel replacement. These caster wheels are especially suited for use with stainless steel casters in wet and corrosive applications. They are designed for use in Pharmaceutical Laboratories, Hospitals, and Food Processing Plants – wherever a clean sanitary design is desired. These wheels are not recommended for applications involving shock, overloading, abuse, obstructions, poor floors, or for storage (standing) loads.
These wheels are designed for use in a wet environment and they eliminate the possibility of tire separation.
