Description
Model 2-150 Rigid Casters are usually selected when machinery or equipment requires movement in a straight line. Machine powered equipment is used to pull, push, and/or tow from the end of the object. It is simpler to position an object when supported by 4 swivel casters but this helps controlling the direction of said object.
The Heavy Duty Dual Wheel Caster Model 2-150 with the PX premium polyurethane wheel is built for industrial applications requiring exceptional strength and stability. With a load capacity of up to 16,000 lbs per caster, this heavy-duty caster features a kingpinless design and a robust 8 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ mounting plate with 7″ x 7″ bolt hole spacing, secured by 5/8″ bolts. The PX wheel, available in 8″, 10″, or 12″ diameters with a 4″ width, boasts a 1″ thick orange polyurethane tread on an iron core, offering a softer 95A Durometer for superior resiliency. This design ensures smooth movement, reduces vibrations, and protects costly epoxy floors in high-tech facilities, making it ideal for material handling and power towing in manufacturing environments.
Designed for versatility, the Model 2-150 with the PX wheel excels on uneven terrain, providing a larger footprint for enhanced stability and easier direction changes through its dual wheel differential action. The PX polyurethane wheel, Caster Cityโs highest-capacity option in its class, handles heavy loads without internal heat buildup, making it perfect for transporting sensitive cargo in industrial settings. Optional features include a foot-activated brake to lock both wheels and a swivel lock for straight-line towing. Equipped with either sealed precision ball bearings or tapered roller bearings, this caster ensures durability and a smoother ride, protecting both your equipment and multimillion-dollar floors while tackling the toughest jobs.
These casters are made to order items and are NOT RETURNABLE. Lead Time 1 week or less.

Dual wheel casters are a superior choice for demanding heavy duty industrial applications. At Caster City, we specialize in providing heavy duty dual wheel caster solutions that distribute weight evenly across two wheels mounted side by side on a single swivel assembly. This design not only boosts stability and load capacity but also ensures smoother rolling on various surfaces, from smooth concrete floors to textured carpets. Ideal for industrial carts, furniture, and medical equipment, dual wheel casters minimize wear and tear while offering unparalleled durabilityโtailored to meet the needs of businesses seeking reliable, long-lasting performance without compromising on ease of use.
One of the key advantages of dual wheel casters is their innovative differential action, which allows the two wheels to rotate independently at different speeds or even in opposite directions during turns. This mimics the functionality of a vehicle differential, enabling the inner wheel to slow down or reverse slightly while the outer wheel spins faster to cover more ground. As a result, scuffing and scrubbing; common issues with single-wheel designs that can damage floors and cause unsightly marks — are dramatically reduced. Our dual wheel models promote easier rolling motion, protecting your floor surfaces and extending the life of both the casters and your flooring, making them perfect for high-traffic environments like warehouses, hospitals, and offices where floor preservation is essential.
Finally, dual wheel casters excel in reducing the forces required to change direction, making maneuvering heavy loads effortless and efficient. With less โwheel scrubbingโ during pivots, you’ll experience lower pushing or pulling effort, which translates to reduced user strain and improved productivity in fast-paced settings. At Caster City, we manufacture these casters with premium polyurethane on iron center, forged steel wheels, ultra high capacity nylon wheels, and ductile steel wheels with a variety of bearing choices to suit any application. Bearing choices include, needle roller bearings, precision sealed ball bearings, or tapered roller bearings.
Premium Polyurethane (PX) Industrial Caster Wheel
The PX Industrial Caster Wheel from Caster City is our highest-capacity polyurethane caster wheel, engineered for heavy-duty applications. Built with a premium 95A Durometer polyurethane tread (available in ยฝโ, ยพโ, or 1โ thickness depending on width) and finished in signature orange, this wheel is softer and more resilient than standard 65D polyurethane or other heavy industrial options. It delivers unmatched performance for power towing and transporting large loads indoors or outdoors.
Key Features and Benefits
- Superior Load Capacity and Durability: Supports higher loads than any other polyurethane caster wheel we manufacture, thanks to our proprietary Megapolyโข compound. This advanced formulation slows internal heat buildup from extreme loads, extending wheel lifespan and ensuring reliable performance under the heaviest demands.
- Enhanced Resiliency and Ease of Motion: The soft, rebounding polyurethane tread requires less effort to initiate movement, making it ideal for one-person operation of substantial cargo. Its rapid rebound action outperforms standard polyurethane or rubber wheels, making it easier to start and maintain motion in manufacturing, staging, or facility transitions.
- Smoother Ride and Protection: Provides a vibration-dampening ride that safeguards sensitive machinery, components, and cargo. The thick tread also protects floors from wear, chipping, and โjackhammerโ impacts common with harder wheels.
- Bearing Options: Available with either precision sealed ball bearings or tapered roller bearings for maximum rolling efficiency, especially during towing.
This caster wheel excels in industrial environments, balancing extreme capacity with floor-friendly resilience for seamless heavy-load handling. Contact us at Caster City today for custom configurations.
What is Durometer and How is it Measured?
Durometer measures polyurethane hardness on the Shore scale.
- Shore A (softer treads): 75A for RF wheel, 65A for RH wheel, 60A for RQ wheel, 50A for RS wheel,
95A for the PX Polyurethane wheel - Shore D (harder treads): 70D for PYH or HU Polyurethane Wheels
