Description
This caster is a great alternative for a pneumatic caster. Rigid Plate Model 9 Caster is the equivalent plate caster for the Plate Model 9 with Swivel. When manually moving equipment supported by 4 swivel casters it can be strenuous to control the direction you are pushing or pulling. Rigid casters help 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. Rigid Casters have 2 legs perpendicular to the mounting plate. Leg thickness is 1/4”. The axle diameter is 1/2” long and is designed to use wheels with a hub width of 2 7/16”. This caster is built from stamped steel. Rigids can carry more weight than swivel casters because they do not have an offset. Other mounting plate sizes and wheel bearing types are available on request.
*This Plate Caster Model 9 contains the SUPER CUSHION Rubber with Ball Bearings in the Wheel.

The CB Super Cushion Gray Rubber Wheel in the industrial plate caster holds up to 500 lbs per wheel, and its 1-inch thick soft rubber tire with an ergonomic crown shape provides a cushioned, air-filled-like ride without the risk of flats, protecting delicate cargo like museum exhibits or orchestra instruments by absorbing shocks and vibrations.
How does the Total Locking Brake (TL) option on the Model 9 industrial plate caster with CB Super Cushion Gray Rubber Wheels enhance safety in museums or orchestras?
The Total Locking Brake (TL) option on the Model 9 industrial plate caster locks both the wheel and swivel simultaneously, completely immobilizing the equipment—like a museum exhibit display or orchestra instrument cart—preventing any movement during setup or performances, ensuring safety by eliminating the risk of unintended motion in noise-sensitive environments.
What is the benefit of the Top Lock Brake (TB) option on the Model 9 industrial plate caster with CB Super Cushion Gray Rubber Wheels in institutional settings?
The Top Lock Brake (TB) option on the Model 9 industrial plate caster locks only the wheel, allowing controlled swiveling while keeping the wheel fixed, which is beneficial in institutional settings like hotels or labs where directional adjustment is needed without rolling, ensuring stability during tasks like exhibit setup or equipment maintenance.
How does the UFCB Face Contact Brake option on the Model 9 industrial plate caster with CB Super Cushion Gray Rubber Wheels improve functionality in institutional settings?
The UFCB Face Contact Brake option on the Model 9 industrial plate caster securely stops the wheel by applying direct pressure to the tread, providing reliable braking on smooth floors in institutional settings like TV studios, ensuring equipment stays in place during filming or setup for enhanced safety and control.
What makes the Swivel Lock option on the Model 9 industrial plate caster with CB Super Cushion Gray Rubber Wheels useful for directional control in hotels?
The Swivel Lock option on the Model 9 industrial plate caster fixes the swivel in one direction, providing directional control for straight-line movement in hotels, ensuring precise travel paths for baggage carts, reducing the risk of deviation in high-traffic areas.
What makes the Model 9 heavy-duty industrial caster a trusted choice for institutional applications in dry settings?
The Model 9 heavy-duty industrial caster ensures reliability in institutional dry settings through its stamped steel construction, zinc-plated rust resistance, and versatile brake options like TL, TB, UFCB, and Swivel Locks, providing long-lasting performance for noise-sensitive tasks in museums, orchestras, or hotels, making it a trusted choice for safety-focused applications.
How does the Model 9 heavy-duty industrial caster enhance stability for museum or orchestra equipment in institutional settings?
The Model 9 heavy-duty industrial caster enhances stability for museum or orchestra equipment by using double ball bearing raceways for smooth swiveling, a durable construction for longevity, and brake options like TL, TB, UFCB, and Swivel Locks to secure equipment—like exhibit displays or instrument carts—firmly in place during setup or performances in institutional settings, ensuring safety in delicate environments.
