Description

Plate Caster Model 3 Rigid Caster is the matching rigid plate caster for the Model 3 Swivel. 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″ designed for 5/16″ mounting bolts. A 3/8″ diameter bolt axle with a locking nut supports the wheel and this caster uses 1-1/4″ and 1-1/2″ wide wheels. Welded leg construction provides strength. Multiple wheels and brake options are offered. When manually pushing or pulling equipment on 4 swivel casters it can be challenging to control direction. Rigid casters assist in controlling the direction when equipment is moved in a forward or backward line. Equipment with rigids can not move sideways. Ideal for light assembly workstations, electronics repair benches, and instrument carts. This plate caster is NSF listed. This caster can also be supplied in Stainless Steel Model 3 for wet or corrosive environments.

The “RF” soft gray rubber caster wheel is a non-marking soft rubber tire locked to an industrial plastic center. 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. They can be used in industrial applications which do not involve shock, overloading, abuse, obstructions, poor floors or storage (standing) loads. This caster wheel has a durometer of 90-95A which assists in vibration and noise dampening. This institutional gray soft rubber caster wheel is completed with plastic thread guards which act as spanner bushings for the sealed precision ball bearing in the center of the hub, providing ample protection for the bearing from direct moisture contact. Injection molded caster wheels are not designed to carry large amounts of weight in static load applications, please consult with us for a better choice. Ideal for hospitals, food service, and pharmaceutical laboratories.
