FAQ

Zinc-Plated Total Locking Plate Caster Model 9 with 2-Inch Wide DSC Ductile Steel Wheel

What material is the DSC Ductile Steel Wheel made from in the Zinc-Plated Total Locking Plate Caster Model 9?

The DSC Ductile Steel Wheel in the Model 9 industrial plate caster is made from ductile steel, offering higher ductility and tensile strength than gray iron wheels for exceptional durability and impact resistance in demanding settings.

What applications are best for the heavy-duty total locking caster with DSC Ductile Steel Wheels in warehouses and workshops?

The heavy-duty total locking caster with DSC Ductile Steel Wheels is perfect for warehouses, workshops, retail, and industrial settings with smooth concrete or steel floors, where a plate mount caster moves equipment like carts and racks on steel plating, metal channels, or angle iron tracks, ensuring durability under heavy loads.

What bearing types come with the DSC Ductile Steel Wheel in the heavy-duty total locking caster?

The DSC Ductile Steel Wheel in the heavy-duty total locking caster can come equipped with roller bearings, sealed precision ball bearings, ball bearings, or bronze bearings, ensuring smooth rolling in institutional applications on smooth floors or tracks, especially in high-temperature environments.

Can the DSC Ductile Steel Wheel in the heavy-duty industrial caster be damaged by rough floors?

No, the DSC Ductile Steel Wheel in the heavy-duty industrial caster will not be damaged by rough floors; however, the wheel will destroy rough floors faster because they are already unsmooth and being beaten down by a steel wheel.

Are the zinc-plated casters with DSC Ductile Steel Wheels good for standing loads?

The zinc-plated casters with DSC Ductile Steel Wheels can handle standing loads better than rubber or polyurethane wheels, as they won’t develop flat spots, but it’s still best to avoid prolonged static loads to ensure longevity.

How do I protect the DSC Ductile Steel Wheel in the Zinc-Plated Total Locking Plate Caster Model 9 from damage?

Keep the DSC Ductile Steel Wheel in the Model 9 industrial plate caster free from shock, overloading, abuse, and exposure to corrosive conditions or washdowns, which can affect the zinc-plated steel frame’s performance in dry settings.

Do the DSC Ductile Steel Wheels in the heavy-duty total locking caster leave marks on floors in institutional settings?

Yes, the DSC Ductile Steel Wheels in the heavy-duty total locking caster can harm a floor—slightly more damaging to concrete because of the point-contact nature of the wheel against surfaces when rolling—so they should be used on steel plating, metal channels, or angle iron tracks to protect expensive flooring in institutional settings.

Why are the heavy-duty total locking casters with DSC Ductile Steel Wheels good for industrial applications in dry settings?

The heavy-duty total locking casters with DSC Ductile Steel Wheels offer exceptional durability and impact resistance with higher tensile strength than gray iron wheels, rolling smoothly with a slight crown tread on steel surfaces in dry settings like warehouses and workshops, with the zinc-plated assembly providing limited rust resistance, making them a smart choice for industrial applications without a big price tag.

What’s the load capacity and temperature range for the DSC Ductile Steel Wheel in the industrial plate caster, and how do I handle high-temperature applications?

The DSC Ductile Steel Wheel in the industrial plate caster holds up to 1200 lbs per wheel at room temperature and can withstand temperatures up to 700°F with bronze bearings, but consult Caster City for applications requiring extended high-temperature exposure.

How does the Total Locking Brake (TL) option on the Model 9 industrial plate caster with DSC Ductile Steel Wheels enhance safety in warehouses or workshops?

The Total Locking Brake (TL) option on the Model 9 industrial plate caster locks both the wheel and swivel simultaneously, completely immobilizing the equipment—like a cart, rack, or workbench—preventing any movement during critical tasks such as loading or maintenance, ensuring safety by eliminating the risk of unintended motion in busy industrial environments.

What is the benefit of the Top Lock Brake (TB) option on the Model 9 industrial plate caster with DSC Ductile Steel Wheels in institutional settings?

The Top Lock Brake (TB) option on the Model 9 industrial plate caster locks only the wheel, allowing controlled swiveling while keeping the wheel fixed, which is beneficial in institutional settings like retail or workshops where directional adjustment is needed without rolling, ensuring stability during tasks like equipment setup or maintenance.

How does the UFCB Face Contact Brake option on the Model 9 industrial plate caster with DSC Ductile Steel Wheels improve functionality in industrial settings?

The UFCB Face Contact Brake option on the Model 9 industrial plate caster securely stops the wheel by applying direct pressure to the tread, providing reliable braking on smooth floors or steel surfaces in industrial settings like warehouses, ensuring equipment stays in place during loading or unloading for enhanced safety and control.

What makes the Swivel Lock option on the Model 9 industrial plate caster with DSC Ductile Steel Wheels useful for directional control in workshops?

The Swivel Lock option on the Model 9 industrial plate caster fixes the swivel in one direction, providing directional control for straight-line movement in workshops, ensuring precise travel paths for carts or racks on steel plating or tracks, reducing the risk of deviation in high-traffic environments.

What makes the Model 9 heavy-duty industrial caster a trusted choice for institutional applications in dry settings?

The Model 9 heavy-duty industrial caster ensures reliability in institutional dry settings through its stamped steel construction, zinc-plated rust resistance, and versatile brake options like TL, TB, UFCB, and Swivel Locks, providing long-lasting performance for heavy-duty tasks in warehouses, workshops, or retail environments, making it a trusted choice for safety-focused applications.

How does the Model 9 heavy-duty industrial caster enhance stability for warehouse or workshop equipment in institutional settings?

The Model 9 heavy-duty industrial caster enhances stability for warehouse or workshop equipment by using double ball bearing raceways for smooth swiveling, a durable construction for longevity, and brake options like TL, TB, UFCB, and Swivel Locks to secure equipment—like carts, racks, or workstations—firmly in place during loading, unloading, or setup in institutional settings, ensuring safety in high-demand environments.
