The Plate Caster Model 100 with V Groove – Ductile Steel – Tapered Roller Bearings in the wheel have a load capacity rating of up to 20,000 lbs.

Model 100 swivel casters have a precision machined swivel bearing which provides easier swiveling, reduced swivel vibration, and longer trouble free performance. Given the very high weights involved, model 100 plate casters are moved primarily with mechanically powered equipment. Options for this plate caster are a cross bar welded between the legs for added strength against abuse, a face contact wheel brake to lock the wheel, and a swivel lock to convert the caster into a rigid caster. There are grease oiled fittings for all moveable parts and the metal frames are zinc plated for rust protection.
