Description
6″ Orange Crown Tread Polyurethane on Aluminum Wheel.
The Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheel in the Stainless Steel Kingpinless Stem Caster Model G15 is a great choice for heavy-duty institutional needs in labs, hospitals, and food processing plants, especially in sanitary applications where washdowns and corrosion resistance are critical. This wheel features a flexible polyurethane crown tread on aluminum, made in 2” wide with 4”, 5”, 6”, and 8” diameters, holding up to 1200 lbs per wheel at room temperature on smooth floors, with a durometer of 90A, offering a semi-cushioned ride that can climb over small debris, door jambs, and expansion joints. It rolls easier than the same size conventional rubber caster wheel, protecting floors better than metal wheels, and its aluminum hub is lighter than standard polyurethane on iron wheels, resistant to rust and corrosion, and provides a higher aesthetic value. The wheel includes precision sealed ball bearings with top hat spanners for a 1/2” axle, ensuring smooth rolling in demanding settings.
The stainless steel kingpinless caster assembly, made from 304 stainless steel with a hot-forged stamped steel construction and ¼” thick legs welded to the precision machined swivel bearing, offers easier swivel rotation, reduced vibration, and longer trouble-free performance for manually moved equipment, with lubrication fittings for movable parts and a larger swivel radius on 6” and 8” wheels to reduce shimmy vibration. The caster includes standard wheel brakes and swivel locks for secure positioning, making it ideal for sanitary applications like food processing or pharmaceutical labs where NSF and ROHS compliance is essential. The crown tread on the polyurethane wheel enhances ergonomics by reducing push-pull forces and the effort needed to change directions and start motion, improving user comfort and efficiency during operation. Note that threaded stem casters should not be used as a leveling device, and capacity ratings are based on the weight being directly on the top of the swivel bearing, not above it on the threaded stem.
These polyurethane on aluminum wheels withstand impacts and heavy loads while changing directions efficiently due to their large crown tread, but the bonding agent holding the polyurethane tire to the aluminum center can be affected by exposure to some chemicals, impact, overloading, or heat buildup from continuous usage, potentially weakening the chemical bonds if used in such conditions. They offer higher capacity while still providing some floor protection compared to hard composition wheels, making them a smart pick for heavy-duty sanitary applications needing to support heavy loads without damaging floors. The stainless steel assembly ensures durability and corrosion resistance, giving reliable performance in wet washdown settings like hospital kitchens or labs, making this industrial kingpinless stem caster a great fit for equipment needing stability, reduced vibration, and mobility in institutional environments.
FAQ
Stainless Steel Kingpinless Stem Caster Model G15 with 2-Inch Wide Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheel
What material is the Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheel made from in the Stainless Steel Kingpinless Stem Caster Model G15?
The Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheel in the Model G15 industrial kingpinless caster has non-marking injection molded polyurethane tires mechanically bonded to an aluminum center, available in red, gray, black, or blue colors, with a Shore 90A durometer for smooth rolling in demanding settings.
What applications are best for the industrial kingpinless caster with Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheels in labs and hospitals?
The industrial kingpinless caster with Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheels is perfect for labs, hospitals, and food processing plants in institutional settings, particularly in sanitary applications where a stem mount caster moves equipment like carts and tables on smooth floors in wet washdown environments, ensuring compliance with NSF and ROHS standards.
What bearing type comes with the Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheel in the heavy-duty industrial caster?
The Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheel in the heavy-duty industrial caster comes standard with precision sealed ball bearings with top hat spanners for a 1/2” axle, keeping smooth rolling in institutional applications on smooth floors.
What stem types are available for the Stainless Steel Kingpinless Stem Caster Model G15 with Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheels?
The Stainless Steel Kingpinless Stem Caster Model G15 with Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheels is compatible with grip ring stems, threaded stems, round stems, square stems, stems with cross holes (both round and square), and expanding rubber stems, providing versatile mounting options for institutional equipment like carts and tables in labs or hospitals.
Can the Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheel in the heavy-duty industrial caster roll on rough floors?
No, the Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheel in the heavy-duty industrial caster is built for smooth floor surfaces only—rough floors or obstructions will damage these stainless steel casters and shorten their life.
Are the stainless steel casters with Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheels good for standing loads?
Nope, the stainless steel casters with Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheels don’t work for standing loads—don’t exceed 70% of the rated capacity for applications parked for prolonged periods, as the tires may cause flat-spotting.
How do I protect the Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheel in the Stainless Steel Kingpinless Stem Caster Model G15 from damage?
Keep the Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheel in the Model G15 industrial kingpinless caster free from shock, overloading, abuse, obstructions, poor floors, rack washers, and exposure to some chemicals, impact, or heat buildup from continuous usage, which can weaken the bonding agent holding the tire to its center and affect the stainless steel construction’s performance.
Do the Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheels in the heavy-duty industrial caster leave marks on floors in institutional settings?
No, the non-marking injection molded polyurethane tire build of the Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheels in the heavy-duty industrial caster is ideal for protecting floor surfaces in labs or hospital settings.
Why are the heavy-duty industrial casters with Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheels good for sanitary applications?
The heavy-duty industrial casters with Polyurethane on Aluminum (UAO/UAC) Caster Wheels roll easier than gray rubber on smooth floors, withstand impacts and heavy loads while offering a semi-cushioned ride with a flexible crown tread that helps with efficiently changing directions, with the stainless steel assembly ensuring corrosion resistance and NSF/ROHS compliance, making them a smart choice for sanitary applications in food processing or pharmaceutical labs without a big price tag.
