What is the difference between swivel and rigid Model 2-100 heavy duty casters with PYH Polyurethane on Iron wheels?

Swivel Model 2-100 heavy duty industrial casters offer 360-degree rotation for maneuverability in tight spaces, while rigid heavy duty casters provide stability for straight-line movement in tow-lines or heavy equipment transport, enhancing the versatility of industrial casters.

Are the PYH Polyurethane on Iron wheels on the Model 2-100 heavy-duty industrial caster worth the higher cost?

Yes, the PYH wheels’ thicker 3/4-inch tread and cast-iron core enhance load capacity and longevity, reducing replacement costs for heavy duty casters. They’re a cost-effective choice for heavy duty industrial casters needing floor protection and static load support.

What bearing options are available for the Model 2-100 heavy-duty dual wheel industrial kingpinless caster with PYH Polyurethane on Iron wheels?

The PYH wheels on these industrial casters come standard with tapered roller bearings, with options for precision sealed ball bearings or roller bearings, ensuring optimal performance for various applications of heavy duty industrial casters. Contact Caster City for bearing customization.

Can the Model 2-100 heavy-duty industrial caster with PYH Polyurethane on Iron wheels be customized?

Yes, these heavy duty casters offer options like swivel locks for straight-line travel (swivel models), toe guards, and face contact brakes, which are non-returnable. Contact Caster City at sales@castercity.com for customization details for industrial casters.

What is the benefit of the kingpinless design in the Model 2-100 heavy-duty dual wheel industrial kingpinless caster with PYH Polyurethane on Iron wheels?

The kingpinless design of these heavy duty industrial casters, with hot-forged steel and precision-machined load and thrust bearings, eliminates the center pin, enhancing durability and load distribution for high-capacity tasks like manufacturing or aerospace transport with industrial casters.

What are the operating conditions for the Model 2-100 heavy-duty industrial caster with PYH Polyurethane on Iron wheels?

These heavy duty casters are rated for manual operation at speeds up to 3 mph on smooth surfaces, with a temperature range of -40°F to 180°F. Avoid rough terrain or heavy impacts, as PYH wheels are not suited for sustained shocks in industrial casters. Consult Caster City for powered equipment ratings.

Where can I purchase the Model 2-100 heavy-duty dual wheel industrial kingpinless caster with PYH Polyurethane on Iron wheels?

Order these heavy duty industrial casters from www.castercity.com, call 800-501-3808 (Monday–Friday, 7:45 AM to Noon PST & 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM PST), or email sales@castercity.com.

What precautions should I take when installing the Model 2-100 heavy-duty industrial caster with PYH Polyurethane on Iron wheels?

For these heavy duty casters, avoid dragging wheels sideways, exceeding capacity, or improper mounting (fewer than 4 bolts). Use 1/2″ to 9/16″ bolts with the 6 1/4″ x 7 1/2″ plate, ensure rigid casters are parallel, and swivel casters are floor-parallel. Use on smooth surfaces, as PYH wheels are not suited for heavy impacts in industrial casters.

Can the Model 2-100 heavy-duty industrial caster with PYH Polyurethane on Iron wheels handle high-traffic industrial environments?

Yes, the PYH wheels’ 60D durometer polyurethane tread and sealed bearings ensure smooth, durable operation for heavy duty industrial casters in high-traffic areas like warehouses or automotive plants, offering floor protection with industrial casters.

Why are the Model 2-100 heavy-duty industrial caster’s PYH Polyurethane on Iron wheels ideal for heavy static loads?

The PYH wheels’ 3/4-inch thick, 60D durometer tread and cast-iron core prevent flat spots under heavy static loads, making these heavy duty casters perfect for prolonged standing applications in manufacturing or aerospace with industrial casters.

Why choose PYH Polyurethane on Iron wheels over standard wheels for the Model 2-100 heavy-duty industrial caster?

The PYH wheels’ thicker tread and cast-iron core support higher loads (up to 5,000 lbs per wheel) and resist chemicals, offering longer life and floor protection compared to standard wheels, though not suited for heavy impacts in heavy duty industrial casters.
