Description

Plate Rigid Caster Model 9 is the matching plate caster for the Plate 9 Swivel. When manually moving equipment supported by 4 swivel casters it can be strenuous to control the direction you are pushing or pulling.  Rigid casters support in controlling equipment being moved in straight line travel.  Equipment with both rigid casters can not move sideways.  Rigid Casters are usually installed at the opposite end of the push handle. Main Features Include: 2 perpendicular legs on the mounting plate, leg thickness: 1/4”, axle diameter: 1/2”, hub width 2 7/16”, and built with stamped steel. Rigids can carry more weight than swivel casters because they do not have an offset.  Other mounting plate sizes and wheel bearing types are available on request.

*This Plate Caster Model 9 contains the Gray Soft Rubber, Crown with Roller Bearing in the Wheel.

FAQ

Zinc-Plated Plate Caster Model 9 with RD Soft Rubber on Polyolefin Wheel (Crown Tread)

What is the Zinc-Plated Model 9 Caster with RD Soft Rubber Wheel designed for?

The Zinc-Plated Model 9 Caster with RD Soft Rubber Wheel is a swivel plate caster or rigid plate caster featuring a non-marking, blue soft rubber wheel with a crown tread on a polyolefin core, designed for ergonomic, quiet mobility in casters and wheels for bellman carts, luggage carts, hospitals, food service, and retail, supporting up to 450 lbs.

How does the RD Soft Rubber Wheel’s crown tread benefit bellman carts?

The RD Wheel’s crown tread reduces push/pull effort with point-contact ergonomics, ensuring smooth, quiet rolling for swivel plate casters on bellman carts in hotels or airports, enhancing maneuverability and guest comfort.

What weight can the Zinc-Plated Model 9 Caster with RD Wheel hold?

This industrial caster supports up to 450 lbs per caster, ideal for bellman carts or luggage carts in hospitality, with the 6×2 or 8×2 inch RD Wheel handling moderate loads in food service or retail.

What sizes does the RD Soft Rubber Wheel come in for this caster?

The RD Wheel is available in 6×2 and 8×2 inch sizes with a 2” tread width, fitting plate casters or swivel plate casters for bellman carts, luggage carts, or hospital equipment, offering up to 450 lbs capacity.

What environments work best for the Zinc-Plated Model 9 Caster with RD Wheel?

This caster excels in hospitality (bellman carts, luggage carts), sanitary settings (hospitals, food service), and institutional areas (schools, offices) where casters and wheels need quiet, non-marking performance on smooth floors.

Does the RD Soft Rubber Wheel resist chemicals and water?

Yes, it withstands mild chemicals, solvents, and water, suitable for occasional wet environments like food service, but prolonged exposure may affect the bonding agent, and the zinc-plated frame limits washdown use.

How do I mount the Zinc-Plated Model 9 Caster with RD Wheel on equipment?

It has a 4 x 4-1/2-inch top plate with a 2-5/8 x 3-5/8 to 3 x 3-inch bolt hole pattern, using 3/8” bolts, making it easy to mount light duty industrial casters on bellman carts or hospital carts.

Is the Zinc-Plated Model 9 Caster with RD Wheel safe for food service areas?

Yes, the RD Wheel is assumed NSF-rated, ideal for food service casters and wheels where hygiene is critical, but verify regulations, as the zinc-plated frame is less suited for frequent washdowns.

What bearing options come with the RD Soft Rubber Wheel?

The RD Wheel features maintenance-free precision sealed ball bearings with top hat spanners, ensuring smooth, quiet rolling for industrial casters in hospitality, labs, or retail.

Can the Zinc-Plated Model 9 Caster with RD Wheel handle rough floors?

No, it’s designed for smooth, dry or mildly wet floors, ideal for light duty industrial casters in hotels or offices, not rough or abusive environments.

How does the RD Soft Rubber Wheel’s resilient tread protect cargo?

The crown tread absorbs shock, rolls over small objects, and minimizes vibration, protecting fragile cargo on casters in bellman carts or hospital equipment, ensuring longevity.

What are the temperature limits for the RD Soft Rubber Wheel?

Operating from -20°F to 180°F, the RD Wheel suits indoor environments for casters and wheels in food service, schools, or workshops, maintaining performance in typical conditions.

How does the Zinc-Plated Model 9 Caster with RD Wheel compare to polyurethane casters?

The RD Wheel offers a softer, quieter ride than polyurethane, ideal for light duty industrial casters in hospitality, but has a lower capacity (450 lbs vs. 900–1200 lbs) and less chemical resistance.

Can the RD Soft Rubber Wheel be left under load?

Avoid prolonged static loads to prevent flat spotting, as the soft rubber may take a permanent set. Use for casters in hotels or retail with frequent movement.

What maintenance does the Zinc-Plated Model 9 Caster with RD Wheel require?

The RD Wheel’s precision sealed ball bearings and swivel plate caster’s sealed swivel bearings are maintenance-free; regular cleaning prevents debris buildup in food service or retail.

What brake options are available for this light duty industrial caster?

This plate caster offers the TB Top Lock Brake (metal, side-mounted, high-temp), UFCB Universal Bolt On Face Contact Brake (bolt-on, wheel-locking), TL Total Lock Brake (locks wheel and swivel, incompatible with swivel locks/raceway seals), and Swivel Locks (weld-on or bolt-on), ensuring safety for industrial casters in hotels or labs.

How does the Zinc-Plated Model 9 Caster with RD Wheel benefit hospitality settings?

The RD Wheel’s ergonomic crown tread and non-marking rubber ensure quiet, smooth rolling for light duty industrial caster bellman carts or luggage carts in hotels, protecting floors and cargo in busy lobbies.

Why is the Zinc-Plated Model 9 Caster with RD Wheel suited for retail or workshops?

The RD Wheel’s 450 lbs capacity, resilient tread, and quiet rolling make it ideal for industrial caster carts in retail (e.g., stock carts) or workshops (e.g., tool carts), safeguarding floors and equipment with TB/PTB/TL brakes.
