6″ High Temp Pnenolic Wheel – Model G15 Rigid Caster

Description

Model G15 with Rigids is the matching 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 equipment 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 load capacity. We have other mounting plate options available and wheel bearing types are available on request.

The TP High Temp Phenolic Wheel in the Plate Caster Model G15 is a solid pick for industrial casters, crafted from fiberglass, phenol resin, and additives to resist heat, built for 4”, 5”, 6”, and 8” diameters (2” wide) and holding up to 1,000 lbs per wheel at room temperature on smooth floors in dry high heat spots like powder coating lines, bakery ovens, and dry heat autoclaves. This hard, non-marking heat caster wheel, NSF Listed, RoHS Compliant, and Food Service Approved, takes continuous operation up to 475°F and 525°F for 30 minutes with a plain bore and spanner bushing for a 1/2” axle, giving reliable performance in high temp dry heat settings when shielded from direct heat sources like flames, perfect for heavy duty industrial casters needing a 2-inch wide high temperature wheel for tough jobs.

Made for dry high heat only, these “TP” high temperature casters and wheels don’t work in moist heat spots like steam autoclaves but shine in industrial 2-inch wide usage with their cost-effective, food-safe design, keeping smooth rolling and floor protection in bakery or powder coating setups. The non-marking surface and high temp durability make these industrial casters a smart choice for dry heat environments, meeting NSF and RoHS standards for safe, eco-friendly use on smooth floors or tracks in extreme heat.
