Description

Model 9 Rigid Plate Caster is the matching plate caster for the Model 9 Swivel Caster. When pushing or pulling equipment manually with 4 swivel casters it can be hard to manage the direction of travel. Rigids assist in controlling equipment being moved in direct line travel. Equipment with rigid casters installed can not move sideways. These casters are usually placed at the opposite end of where the push handle is located. The leg thickness is 1/4″ and the axle is 1/2″ in diameter, designed to use wheels with a 2 7/16″ hub width. This caster is stamped steel construction. Rigids can carry heavier loads than swivel casters because they do not have an offset, but both rigid and swivel casters are shown with the same capacity on our website. Ideal for packaging lines, print shops, and textile manufacturing. Other plate sizes and bearing types are available on request. A 304 Stainless Steel version is also available for wet or corrosive service.

This blue all polyurethane caster wheel makes an excellent choice for institutional applications where sanitary conditions and washdowns are critical. This solid all polyurethane industrial caster wheel was developed for sanitary and washdown applications, and is capable of rolling indoors or outdoors. Solid polyurethane wheels are fantastic solutions for heavy wash-down and food grade environments. These wheels are non-marking and non-conductive. The solid polyurethane wheel provides a one piece molded solution which eliminates the issues of tread bond failures making them durable solutions for tough environments. Solid polyurethane wheels are highly resistant to oil, grease, water and most chemicals and solvents even up to 10% acidity. The “AP” blue all polyurethane industrial caster wheel is offered with a variety of bearing choices to suit your application, including roller bearings, Delrin bearings, plain bore. This industrial caster wheel comes with a durometer of Shore 60-65D and the temperature range is -20° to 180°F. These wheels are designed for use in a wet environment and they eliminate the possibility of tire separation. Ideal for food processing equipment, hospitals, pharmaceutical laboratories, and food service applications.

This caster is available in Stainless Steel Model 9. It is constructed from 304 SS. This is an excellent caster for wet or corrosive applications if your total weight exceeds 1000lbs. It comes with the same large selection of wheels, some of which are also NSF and ROHS compliant.

*This Plate Caster Model 9 contains the All Polyurethane With Roller Bearing in the Wheel.

FAQ

Rigid Zinc Model 9 with Blue All Polyurethane Wheel – FAQ & Description

FAQ – Questions & Answers

What is a rigid caster, and how does it differ from a swivel caster?
A rigid caster is fixed in direction, providing stability and straight-line movement, unlike a swivel caster, which can rotate 360 degrees for maneuverability.

What is the Rigid Zinc Model 9 with Blue All Polyurethane Wheel designed for?
The Rigid Zinc Model 9 with Blue All Polyurethane Wheel is designed for dry environments needing sanitary conditions and stable, straight-line movement, such as manufacturing plants or distribution centers.

What makes the Blue All Polyurethane Wheel a good choice for this rigid caster?
The Blue All Polyurethane Wheel is a solid, one-piece molded design that resists oil, grease, water, and chemicals (up to 10% acidity) while providing smooth, non-marking performance.

Why is the Rigid Zinc Model 9 limited to dry environments?
The Rigid Zinc Model 9 has a zinc-plated steel frame that can corrode in wet or corrosive conditions. It’s best used in dry settings.

What industries can use the Rigid Zinc Model 9 with this wheel?
This rigid caster suits manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution centers in dry environments, especially where floor protection and sanitation are important.

What bearing options does the Blue All Polyurethane Wheel offer?
The Blue All Polyurethane Wheel comes with roller bearings, delrin bearings, or sealed precision ball bearings, all available in stainless steel for added durability.

What is the hardness of the Blue All Polyurethane Wheel?
The Blue All Polyurethane Wheel has a Shore 60-65D durometer, offering durability and low rolling resistance for industrial use.

What temperature range can the Blue All Polyurethane Wheel handle?
The Blue All Polyurethane Wheel operates from -20° to 180° F, suitable for both cold and warm dry environments.

How does the Blue All Polyurethane Wheel compare to bonded polyurethane wheels?
The Blue All Polyurethane Wheel is a solid, one-piece design that eliminates bond failure, unlike bonded polyurethane wheels, making it more durable.

Can the Rigid Zinc Model 9 be used in wet conditions?
No, the zinc-plated frame will corrode in wet conditions. For wet environments, consider a stainless steel model.

What maintenance does the Rigid Zinc Model 9 with this wheel require?
