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.

The Model 9 Swivel Caster is the most widely used industrial plate caster due to its affordable price point and extensive wheel options. Beneath the mounting plate are 2 rows of ball bearings running on heat treated raceways for smooth swiveling. A nut and bolt center pin is welded to endure standard abuse in hand pushed applications. The kingpin bolt is 5/8″ in diameter with 1/4″ thick legs welded inside and outside. The axle diameter is 1/2″, compatible with wheels that have a 2 7/16″ hub width. Constructed from stamped steel with zinc plated metal frames for corrosion resistance, this caster includes lubrication fittings for all moveable parts. A wide range of wheel brakes and swivel locks are available to suit most applications. Ideal for food processing plants, distribution centers, and assembly line equipment. Additional mounting plate sizes and bearing types can be supplied on request. A 304 Stainless Steel version is also offered for washdown and corrosive environments.

The DSC Ductile Steel industrial caster wheel features a slight crown on the tread for easier directional changes. Unlike the flat tread on the standard DS wheel, the DSC’s crowned tread greatly reduces the force needed to change directions from a stopped position. Where loads are too heavy for floor protective wheels, or where unusually severe service factors are present, the DSC Ductile steel industrial caster wheel will do the job. Ductile steel wheels are selected due to their ductility and tensile strength, making them the top choice for environments requiring shock absorption and reliability. These solid steel wheels are incredibly durable in normal service. Caster City manufactures all of our steel wheels with a lubrication fitting in the hub for easy maintenance and prolonged service life. We offer DSC Ductile steel industrial caster wheels with roller bearings or sealed precision ball bearings. Ductile steel wheels like this can withstand high temperatures up to 400°F depending upon the application. At temperatures above 400°F continuous, steel roller bearings and spanner bushings can start to anneal – please consult our engineering department for further assistance. Ductile steel industrial caster wheels will damage most factory floors while under heavy loads, and thus are generally used on steel plate, in channel, or as v-grooved wheels rolling on an inverted angle iron track. Ideal for industrial oven and furnace carts, heavy construction equipment, and shipyard operations.

Ductile Steel Caster Wheels from Caster City

Caster City’s Ductile Steel Industrial Caster Wheels are designed for heavy-duty applications where loads surpass the capacity of floor-protective wheels or severe service conditions are present. Ideal for industrial and manufacturing settings where floor wear is secondary to the critical tasks performed, these wheels are available in 2”, 3”, and 4” widths and diameters ranging from 4” to 16”. With high ductility and tensile strength, our ductile steel wheels absorb shocks and impacts without failure, ensuring reliable performance in rugged environments. For precise, guided movement, we offer a V-groove design that rolls smoothly on inverted angle iron tracks, providing stable and controlled operation in demanding conditions.

These Ductile Steel Industrial Caster Wheels are built for exceptional durability, featuring either roller bearings or sealed precision ball bearings, with load ratings determined solely by bearing capacity. Each wheel includes a lubrication fitting in the hub for easy maintenance and prolonged service life. Capable of withstanding temperatures up to 400°F depending on the application, these solid steel wheels are well-suited for challenging environments. For continuous temperatures above 400°F, where steel roller bearings and spanner bushings may anneal, consult our engineering team to ensure optimal performance in high-temperature applications.

While Ductile Steel Industrial Caster Wheels excel at handling substantial loads in harsh conditions, they can damage most factory floors under heavy loads. To mitigate this, they are typically used on steel plating, in metal channels, or as V-grooved wheels on angle iron tracks to protect costly flooring. Compared to Gray Iron wheels, our ductile steel wheels offer superior ductility and tensile strength, making them the top choice for environments requiring shock absorption and reliability. Contact Caster City for custom configurations to meet your heavy-duty needs with our durable, high-capacity ductile steel wheels.
