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 durability—tailored 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 “wheel scrubbing” 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.

FAQ

What is the load capacity of the Model 2-150 heavy-duty dual wheel industrial kingpinless caster with Ultra High Capacity Polymer wheels?

The Model 2-150 caster with 12×4 Ultra High Capacity Polymer (NX) wheels is rated for up to 16,000 lbs per caster under ideal conditions (manual operation at speeds up to 3 mph), with each NX wheel supporting up to 8,000 lbs. Contact Caster City at 800-501-3808 for reduced ratings in powered or abusive conditions.

What wheel size is available for the Model 2-150 heavy-duty dual wheel industrial kingpinless caster with Ultra High Capacity Polymer wheels?

The Model 2-150 uses Ultra High Capacity Polymer (NX) wheels in a 12-inch diameter with a 4-inch width, featuring 4 precision sealed ball bearings. The Model 2-150 exclusively uses 4-inch wide wheels for optimal load distribution.

What makes the Ultra High Capacity Polymer wheels on the Model 2-150 caster effective for heavy loads?

The NX wheels are compression-molded nylon with an 80 Shore D durometer and flat tread, supporting heavy loads without damaging floors like metal wheels. They resist chemicals, oils, and acids, and won’t flatten under static loads, unlike polyurethane wheels.

What industries are best suited for the Model 2-150 heavy-duty dual wheel industrial kingpinless caster with Ultra High Capacity Polymer wheels?

Ideal for aerospace (aircraft component transport), heavy manufacturing (machinery movement), automotive (tow-line systems), and warehouses, these casters protect smooth indoor floors while supporting substantial loads with non-marking performance.

What is the difference between swivel and rigid Model 2-150 casters with Ultra High Capacity Polymer wheels?

Swivel casters offer 360-degree rotation for maneuverability in tight spaces, while rigid casters provide stability for straight-line movement in tow-lines or heavy equipment transport.

Are the Ultra High Capacity Polymer wheels on the Model 2-150 caster worth the higher cost?

Yes, the NX wheels prevent floor damage and flat spots, reducing maintenance and replacement costs. They’re a cost-effective alternative to metal wheels for heavy-duty indoor applications requiring floor protection.

What bearing options are available for the Model 2-150 heavy-duty dual wheel industrial kingpinless caster with Ultra High Capacity Polymer wheels?

The 12×4 NX wheels feature 4 precision sealed ball bearings for smooth, maintenance-free operation. Roller or stainless steel bearing options may be available; contact Caster City for details.

Can the Model 2-150 caster with Ultra High Capacity Polymer wheels be customized?

Yes, options include swivel locks for straight-line travel (swivel models) and wheel brakes. Weld-on face contact brakes are non-returnable. Contact Caster City at sales@castercity.com for customization details.

What is the benefit of the kingpinless design in the Model 2-150 heavy-duty dual wheel industrial kingpinless caster with Ultra High Capacity Polymer wheels?

The kingpinless design, with hot-forged steel and precision-machined bearings, eliminates the center pin, enhancing durability and load distribution for high-capacity tasks like aerospace or manufacturing transport.

What are the operating conditions for the Model 2-150 caster with Ultra High Capacity Polymer wheels?

Rated for manual operation at speeds up to 3 mph on smooth surfaces, with a temperature range of -20°F to 250°F. Avoid rough terrain or heavy impacts, as NX wheels are not designed for sustained shocks. Consult Caster City for powered equipment ratings.

Where can I purchase the Model 2-150 heavy-duty dual wheel industrial kingpinless caster with Ultra High Capacity Polymer wheels?

Order from www.castercity.com, call 800-501-3808 (Monday–Friday, 7:45 AM to Noon PST & 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM PST), or email sales@castercity.com.

What precautions should I take when installing the Model 2-150 heavy-duty dual wheel industrial kingpinless caster with Ultra High Capacity Polymer wheels?

Avoid dragging wheels sideways, exceeding capacity, or improper mounting (fewer than 4 bolts). Ensure rigid casters are parallel and swivel casters are floor-parallel. Use on smooth surfaces to prevent damage, as NX wheels are not suited for heavy impacts.

Can the Model 2-150 caster with Ultra High Capacity Polymer wheels handle high-traffic industrial environments?

Yes, the NX wheels’ non-marking nylon, 80 Shore D durometer, and sealed bearings ensure smooth, durable operation in high-traffic areas like warehouses or automotive plants, protecting floors from damage.

Why are the Model 2-150 caster’s Ultra High Capacity Polymer wheels ideal for heavy static loads?

The compression-molded NX wheels won’t develop flat spots under heavy static loads, unlike polyurethane, making them perfect for prolonged standing applications in manufacturing or aerospace without floor damage.

Why choose Ultra High Capacity Polymer wheels over metal wheels for the Model 2-150 caster?

NX wheels support heavy loads like metal wheels but are non-marking, preventing floor damage in indoor settings. They resist chemicals and won’t flatten, though they’re not suited for sustaining heavy impacts.
