More Info on Forged Steel Wheels: The Backbone of Heavy Duty Industrial Casters

Forged steel industrial caster wheels excel in heavy-duty applications where standard floor-protective wheels fall short. These wheels are designed for extreme conditions, handling massive loads and harsh environments with ease. When your operation demands durability over floor preservation, forged steel wheels are the ideal choice. They are built to withstand intense stress without compromising performance, making them perfect for industries requiring robust solutions. Unlike softer wheels, these are typically used on steel plates, in metal channels, or as V-groove wheels on inverted angle iron tracks to prevent damage to factory floors. Their ability to endure tough conditions ensures reliable performance in the most demanding settings.

These wheels boast exceptional ductility and tensile strength, allowing them to absorb shocks and impacts without breaking. Forged from pre-heated carbon steel billets through a drop-forging process, they offer uniform material thickness and superior load-bearing capacity. Available in widths of 2 inches, 3 inches, and 4 inches, and diameters ranging from 6 inches to 12 inches, they cater to a variety of industrial needs. Each wheel includes a lubrication fitting in the hub for easy maintenance and longevity. Additionally, Caster City equips these wheels with tapered roller bearings, counter-bored on both sides of the hub, to maximize capacity and service life. With load ratings determined solely by bearing capacity, these solid, spokeless wheels are virtually unbreakable in normal use.

Forged steel wheels are engineered for extreme environments, capable of operating at temperatures up to 700°F, depending on the application. However, at continuous temperatures above 400°F, steel roller bearings and spanner bushings may begin to anneal, potentially affecting performance. For high-temperature applications, consult Caster City’s engineering team at 800-501-3808 for tailored guidance. While these wheels may damage most factory floors under heavy loads, their use on steel plating or specialized tracks ensures both functionality and floor protection. For heavy-duty tasks requiring unmatched strength and reliability, forged steel industrial caster wheels from Caster City are the go-to solution.

FAQ

What is the Heavy Duty Plate Caster Model 50 with FS Forged Steel Wheel, and what’s it used for?
