Low-Profile Standard Plate Caster: 3 in Wheel Dia., 500 lb, 4 1/16 in Mounting Ht

Low-profile light-duty and medium-duty standard plate casters mount onto the bottom of carts, vending machines, server cabinets, lab equipment, business machines, and other equipment that will be moved manually at moderate speeds. Low-profile casters keep the equipment close to the ground to maximize the equipment's stability while rolling. These light-duty and medium-duty standard plate casters have zinc-plated steel frames and are suitable for transporting loads along smooth, flat surfaces in areas where the casters won't encounter shock loading. Medium-duty casters can bear more weight and withstand more industrial conditions than light-duty casters.

Standard plate casters have kingpins that securely join the casters' mounting plates to their frames. They are used in nearly every industry and are the most common type of caster used for general purpose applications. The casters' mounting plates install onto the bottom of machinery, carts, or other equipment, and the casters allow the equipment to roll to reduce effort when moving or repositioning it. These casters are available in swivel and rigid versions. The swivel casters can rotate 360°, allowing equipment to change directions while rolling. The rigid casters roll in a straight line. Two rigid plate casters will often be paired with two swivel casters to allow the equipment to both maneuver around curves and obstacles and maintain a straight course while rolling.
