Description

These casters are made to order items and are NOT RETURNABLE. Lead Time 1 week or less.

Dual Wheel casters have two wheels that are non-marking which cover guard the floors by extending the load over a greater area.  2-50 Dual wheel casters provide a minimum overall height with a greater load size than a plate single wheel caster.   The wider footprint provided by two wheels enables dual wheel plate casters to cross over gaps and grooves in the floor more methodically than a slim singular wheel.

*This Plate Caster Model 2-50 contains Ultra High Capacity Polymer Swivel Wheels.

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.

The Inner Workings of the Ultra High Capacity Polymer Caster Wheels

Ultra High Capacity Polymer Caster Wheels from Caster City are engineered to support heavy loads while protecting floors from the damage typically caused by metal wheels. Unlike polyurethane wheels, which can develop flat spots or delaminate under prolonged static loads, these non-marking black polymer wheels are compression molded and machined for superior durability and performance. Their straight-sided design maximizes load capacity, making them an ideal choice for indoor applications on smooth surfaces where floor preservation is critical. Available in 2”, 3”, and 4” widths and diameters ranging from 3” to 12”, these wheels are equipped with 2 to 4 precision sealed ball bearings (depending on size) for smooth operation and long service life. With a hardness of 80 Shore D and a temperature range of -20°F to 250°F, they resist corrosion, chemicals, and impacts, offering a robust alternative to steel wheels.

These wheels are designed for a wide range of heavy-duty applications across industries, including material handling, manufacturing, warehousing, aerospace, automotive, and more. Their flat tread face ensures stable load distribution, and the compression molding process eliminates the risk of flat spots, making them perfect for equipment like platform trucks, assembly line carts, or automated guided vehicles (AGVs) that remain stationary under heavy loads. Capable of withstanding shocks, chemicals, oils, and acids, these wheels are also suitable for harsh environments like chemical plants, food processing facilities, or marine applications. For high-temperature settings (up to 250°F) or specialized needs, such as stainless steel bearings or roller bearings, Caster City offers customizable options to meet your requirements. For further assistance, contact our engineering team at 800-501-3808.

FAQ

What is the load capacity of the Model 2-50 heavy-duty dual wheel industrial kingpinless caster with Ultra High Capacity Polymer wheels?

 

The Model 2-50 caster, using two 12×3 Ultra High Capacity Polymer (NX) wheels, is rated for up to 7,000 lbs per caster under ideal conditions (manual operation at speeds up to 3 mph). Contact Caster City at 800-501-3808 for reduced ratings in powered or abusive conditions.

What are the mounting plate specifications for the Model 2-50 heavy-duty dual wheel industrial kingpinless caster?

The caster features a top plate size of 5 1/4″ x 7 1/4″, with bolt hole spacing of 3 3/8″ x 5 1/4″ slotted to 4 1/8″ x 6 1/8″, and accepts 1/2″ mounting bolts, ensuring secure installation for heavy-duty applications.

What wheel size is available for the Model 2-50 heavy-duty dual wheel industrial kingpinless caster with Ultra High Capacity Polymer wheels?

The Model 2-50 uses two Ultra High Capacity Polymer (NX) wheels per caster, each 12-inch diameter with a 3-inch width, featuring 4 precision sealed ball bearings for balanced load distribution.

What makes the Ultra High Capacity Polymer wheels on the Model 2-50 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 2-50 heavy-duty dual wheel industrial kingpinless caster with Ultra High Capacity Polymer wheels?

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

What is the difference between swivel and rigid Model 2-50 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 2-50 caster worth the higher cost?

Yes, the NX wheels prevent floor damage and flat spots, reducing maintenance 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 2-50 heavy-duty dual wheel industrial kingpinless caster with Ultra High Capacity Polymer wheels?

Each 12×3 NX wheel features 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 2-50 caster with Ultra High Capacity Polymer wheels be customized?
