Description

DO NOT ORDER SWIVEL LOCK OR RACEWAY SEALS IF YOU ORDER THE TL – TOTAL LOCK BRAKE. THE TL BRAKE WILL NOT WORK WITH EITHER THE SWIVEL LOCK OR RACEWAY SEALS.

Plate Caster Model 9 swivel casters are our most popular industrial caster because of its low initial cost and wide selection of wheels.  Under the mounting plate it has 2 rows of balls rotating on heat treated raceways.  The swivel has a nut and bolt center pin welded to withstand normal abuse in a manually moved application.  The kingpin bolt diameter is 5/8” and the leg thickness is 1/4”, welded on the inside and out.  The diameter of the axle is ½” and is designed to use wheels with a hub width of 2 7/16”.  This caster is constructed from stamped steel.  The metal frames are zinc plated for rust resistance, and it has lubrication fittings for all moveable parts.  Model 9 has a broad selection of wheel brakes and swivel locks for most applications.  Other mounting plate sizes and wheel bearing types are available on request.

The “PYC” polyurethane caster wheel has a heavy-duty iron center and its liquid caster tire is chemically bonded to the hub.  This “PYC” Caster wheel carries more weight than your standard polyurethane caster wheel due to having a thicker tire and thicker center.    This “PYC” caster wheel has a slight crown on the polyurethane tire which helps with changing directions when the load is standing still or moving.  Polyurethane caster wheels can have their chemical bonds weakened by overloading, chemical exposure, heat from continuous usage, or heavy impacts.  Polyurethane wheels are chosen when higher loads are needed to roll on floors due to offering more floor protection than what a hard composition caster wheel can.The temperature range of this caster wheel is -20° to 180° F and the durometer of the polyurethane tire is 95 Shore A, and is available in either 2” or 3” wide.

This caster is available in Stainless Steel Model 9.  It is constructed from 304 Stainless Steel.  This is an excellent caster for wet or corrosive applications if your total weight exceeds 1000lbs.  It comes with the same large selection of wheels, some of which are also NSF and ROHS compliant.

Premium Polyurethane Caster Wheels – Top-Tier for Moving Heavy Loads

Our Caster City Line of Premium Polyurethane Caster Wheels are a top-tier solution for moving heavy loads while protecting floors, featuring a sleek dark blue polyurethane tire and a robust black iron center. This caster’s liquid-cast polyurethane tire is chemically bonded to the black hub for exceptional strength and durability, surpassing standard nylon or ball casters. Designed to glide smoothly on hard surfaces like hardwood, ceramic tile, marble, or concrete, it supports up to 300 pounds with a 2-inch wheel width and 2.5-inch wheel height. Ideal for poker chairs, office furniture, or warehouse equipment, the dark blue tire and black center combine style with long-lasting performance in demanding environments.

Unlike cheap twin-wheel nylon casters or ball casters that slide and scratch floors, the Premium PYC’s dark blue polyurethane tire rolls effortlessly, safeguarding hardwood, tile, or marble from scuffs and damage. Its slightly crowned tire ensures point-contact with the floor, enabling smooth swiveling even under load or when stopped, reducing scuff marks during turns. This makes it perfect for frequent movements in poker games or busy workspaces. Forum users, including poker players and office workers, praise these casters for preventing costly floor damage, unlike chair mats that slip or trap dirt, with the dark blue tire adding a polished look to any setup.

Hardwood floors enhance the beauty and value of homes and businesses, but scratches from low-quality casters can lead to expensive refinishing. The Premium PYC Polyurethane Caster Wheel, with its vibrant dark blue tire and sturdy black center, prevents this by rolling over debris like sand or dust without grinding it into surfaces. This keeps floors pristine, saving time and money on repairs. For those seeking a stylish, durable, and floor-friendly caster, the Premium PYC from Caster City offers unmatched mobility and superior protection with a modern dark blue and black aesthetic.
