6″ Crown Tread Orange Polyurethane on Aluminum – Model 9 Rigid Caster

Description

Plate Caster Model 9 Rigid is the equivalent plate caster for the Swivel Model 9 Caster.  When manually moving equipment supported by four swivel casters it can be strenuous to control the direction you are pulling or pushing. Rigid casters support in controlling equipment being moved in direct line travel.  Machinery with both rigid casters can not move sideways.  Rigids are usually installed at the opposite end of the push handle.  Rigid Casters have 2 legs perpendicular to the mounting plate.  Leg thickness is 1/4”.  The axle diameter is 1/2” long and is designed to use wheels with a hub width of 2 7/16”.  This caster is built from stamped steel.  Rigid Casters can carry more heft than swivel casters because they do not have an offset.  Other mounting plate sizes and wheel bearing types are available on request.

In the space and automotive industries where carts need to move heavy loads like rocket modules or car chassis between indoor and outdoor facilities, Caster City’s high performance polyurethane UXY caster wheel gets the job done with a quiet, resilient ride. This 2” wide polyurethane wheel, with an 80A Shore Durometer hardness, comes in 4” to 8” diameters and features two precision sealed ball bearings with top hat spanners for a ½” axle, offering a rapid rebound action that reduces effort to initiate motion while protecting floors from shock loads, making it ideal for towing applications in production facilities.

The UXY Crown Tread Ergonomic Polyurethane Wheel on the Industrial Plate Caster Model 9, with its vibrant orange 80A Shore hardness tire on a non-rusting aluminum core, delivers a quiet, resilient ride that supports up to 1,200 lbs per wheel in 4”, 5”, 6”, and 8” diameters, all 2” wide, making it a game-changer for heavy duty industrial casters in towed applications. Its self-energizing design with a rapid rebound spring action and debris-rejecting crown tread reduces push/pull forces, protects floors from shock loads, and glides seamlessly from aerospace cleanrooms to outdoor towline routes, all while extending AGV battery life with maintenance-free precision sealed ball bearings—perfect for casters and wheels in high-tech manufacturing, automotive paint booths, and aerospace hangars.

*This Plate Caster Model 9 contains the Yellow Crown Tread Polyurethane on Aluminum with Precision Sealed Ball Bearings in the Wheel.
