High Heat Caster Rigid w/ 6″ x 2″ Flat-Tread DS Wheel

Description

The Rigid Caster Model G15 is the same plate caster for the G15 Swivel. When moving equipment manually supported by 4 swivel casters it can be difficult to control the direction you are pulling or pushing. Rigids help in controlling machinery being moved in direct line travel. Equipment with two/both rigid casters can not move sideways. These type of casters are usually equipped at the opposite end of the push handle. They have 2 legs horizontal to the mounting plate. Leg thickness is 1/4”. The diameter axle is 1/2” and is built to use wheels with a hub width of 2 7/16”. This rigid caster is built from cold forged steel. Rigid Casters can carry more load than swivel casters because they do not have an offset. Nonetheless, on our website both rigid casters and same swivel casters are shown with the same load capacity. We have other mounting plate options available and wheel bearing types are available on request.

This industrial caster comes equipped with a flat-tread ductile steel wheel.  If you are seeking the Crown-Tread Ductile Steel Wheel, that offers slightly more turnability while from a stopped position by offering point-contact with the floor.

Jamming : The one-piece design of bronze bearings is particularly advantageous in applications like powder coating, media blasting, or painting where airborne particles are common. This design prevents particulate matter from entering and potentially jamming the bearing, enhancing operational reliability, reducing maintenance needs, and minimizing downtime in particle-rich environments.

The 2-inch wide ductile steel high temp wheel with a Single-Piece High-Temperature Bronze Bearing is a tough industrial wheel for heavy duty casters, made from high-grade ductile steel with a tensile strength of 45,000 psi, paired with a C954 tin bronze bearing (3/4″ ID x 1-3/16″ OD x 2-3/16″ L) that handles high temperatures up to 1300°F, while the high temperature caster wheel itself is rated for 800°F, supporting loads up to 1,500 lbs in high-temp settings like powder coating lines, media/sand blasting, foundries, and steel mills, where its one-piece design resists corrosion, wear, and won’t clog from stone dust or particulate matter, staying maintenance-free with just high-temperature grease for smooth, reliable performance on tracks or flat floors in extreme heat.
