6″ Heavy Duty Gray Solid Polyurethane Wheel – Model G15 Rigid Caster

Description

Rigid Model G15 is the identical plate caster for the G15 Swivel. When moving equipment manually supported by 4 swivel casters it can be hard to control the direction you are pulling or pushing. Rigids help in controlling machinery being moved in direct line travel. Equipment with two/both rigid casters can not move sideways. These type of casters are usually equipped at the opposite end of the push handle. They have 2 legs horizontal to the mounting plate. Leg thickness is 1/4”. The diameter axle is 1/2” and is built to use wheels with a hub width of 2 7/16”. This rigid caster is built from cold forged steel. Rigid Casters can carry more load than swivel casters because they do not have an offset. Nonetheless, on our website both rigid casters and same swivel casters are shown with the same capacity. We have other mounting plate options available and wheel bearing types are available on request.

The G15 Rigid Caster with HU Heavy Duty Gray Solid Polyurethane Wheel is engineered for dry environments requiring stable, straight-line movement and robust support for heavy loads. The HU wheel, constructed from solid polyurethane with a glass-filled nylon bearing collar, delivers exceptional strength and low rolling resistance. Its Shore D 65 durometer ensures lasting durability and smooth operation, making it ideal for manufacturing or warehousing applications.

The G15 rigid bracket, crafted from zinc-plated steel, provides reliable strength but is best suited for dry conditions due to its susceptibility to corrosion. It features a ½” axle and offers multiple bearing options, including roller, delrin, or sealed precision ball bearings (stainless steel versions available). The rigid design enhances stability under heavy loads, though it’s not recommended for wet environments or powered applications—consider the G15 swivel model or alternatives for such needs.

Paired with zinc-plated frames, this caster offers a low-maintenance solution for heavy-duty, dry settings. Caster City has been a trusted provider of dependable casters since 1977—call 800-501-3808 to find the perfect solution for your equipment.
