Can the SS-9 Plate Mount Caster with NY Wheel handle rough floors or debris?

No, the NY Wheel requires smooth, hard floors like concrete or tile and may be noisy or less effective on rough floors or debris; ideal for heavy duty industrial casters in labs or food processing plants. Rigid casters enhance plate casters like SS-9, maintaining control on smooth floors.

How does the NY Solid Nylon Wheel manage static loads?

The NY Wheel’s hard nylon composition with Shore D 65 durometer prevents flat spotting, even under prolonged static loads, making it perfect for stationary casters in hospitals or food processing plants holding heavy equipment. Rigid casters support plate casters like SS-9, ensuring stability for static loads.

What temperature range does the NY Solid Nylon Wheel support?

The NY Wheel operates from -45°F to 230°F, suitable for diverse environments but not extreme conditions beyond this range, ideal for casters and wheels in labs or food service. Rigid casters ensure stable movement for plate casters like SS-9 in these conditions.

How does the SS-9 Plate Mount Caster with NY Wheel compare to rubber wheel casters?

The NY Wheel offers higher capacity (up to 1200 lbs) and chemical resistance compared to rubber casters, but lacks shock absorption and may be noisier; it’s ideal for sanitary settings like labs with smooth floors. Rigid casters enhance plate casters like SS-9, ensuring stability for heavy loads.

Can the NY Solid Nylon Wheel remain under load for extended periods?

The NY Wheel supports prolonged static loads without flat spotting, perfect for casters in food processing or labs holding stationary equipment, maintaining durability in typical conditions. Rigid casters provide stability for plate casters like SS-9, preventing drift during stationary use.

What maintenance does the SS-9 Plate Mount Caster with NY Wheel require?

The NY Wheel’s precision sealed ball bearings need no maintenance, and regular cleaning prevents debris buildup for heavy duty industrial casters in food service or labs. Rigid casters ensure stable operation for plate casters like SS-9, minimizing maintenance needs.

What brake options are available for this heavy duty industrial caster?

This plate caster offers the TB Top Lock Brake (metal, side-mounted, high-temp), UFCB Universal Bolt On Face Contact Brake (bolt-on, wheel-locking), TL Total Lock Brake (locks wheel and swivel, incompatible with swivel locks/raceway seals), and Swivel Locks (weld-on or bolt-on), ensuring safety for industrial casters in labs or retail. Rigid casters enhance plate casters like SS-9, providing stability when brakes are engaged.

How does the SS-9 Plate Mount Caster with NY Wheel benefit schools or offices?

The NY Wheel’s non-marking, high-capacity design protects smooth, hard floors and supports heavy loads, ideal for heavy duty industrial caster carts in schools or offices, ensuring quiet operation and chemical resistance.
