8″ Maroon Polyurethane on Polyolefin Wheel – Model 9 Rigid Caster

Description

Plate Caster Model 9 Rigid is the equivalent plate caster for the Model 9 Swivel Caster.  When manually moving equipment supported by 4 swivel casters it can be difficult to control the direction you are pushing or pulling.  Rigid casters support in controlling equipment being moved in straight line travel.  Equipment with both rigid casters can not move sideways.  Rigids are usually installed at the opposite end of the push handle. Specifications include: 2 perpendicular legs on the mounting plate, leg thickness: 1/4”, axle diameter: 1/2”, hub width 2 7/16”, and built with stamped steel. Rigid Casters can carry more load than swivel casters because they do not have an offset.  Other mounting plate sizes and wheel bearing types are available on request.

The PM Polyurethane on Polyolefin Center Wheel is a non-marking, very economic choice for an industrial wheel in heavy duty casters, featuring a basic injection-molded polyurethane tire with a Shore 95A durometer, mechanically bonded to a gray polyolefin center in a maroon color, available in 2” wide for the Industrial Plate Caster Model 9, designed for smooth floors in research laboratories, hospitals, food service, schools, and institutional applications, rolling easier than gray rubber wheels while withstanding exposure to many chemicals and solvents. Available in 4”, 5”, 6”, and 8” diameters (with the 8”x2” supporting up to 700 lbs), this industrial caster wheel includes precision sealed ball bearings, ensuring smooth operation within a temperature range of 32°F to 180°F, making it a reliable choice for dry factory floors.

This caster wheel in heavy duty industrial casters offers a variety of bearing choices—Roller Bearing (R), Delrin Bearings (D), Plain Bore (P), Ball Bearings (BB), Precision Sealed Ball Bearings (PS), Stainless Precision Sealed Ball Bearings (SPS), and Stainless Steel Needle Roller Bearing (SSR)—allowing customization for specific industrial needs, supporting loads up to 700 lbs for the 8”x2” size. The PM Polyurethane on Polyolefin Center Wheel provides a balance of durability and cost-effectiveness, protecting floors in sensitive environments with its non-marking basic injection-molded poly on poly tire in maroon, making it a top pick for material handling carts, medical equipment, and other manually operated setups requiring an easier-rolling, chemically resistant wheel for the Model 9’s zinc-plated steel frame.
