76 Series Plate Caster, Swivel, Kingpinless, Phenolic Wheel, Roller Bearing, 2500 lbs Capacity, 8" Wheel Dia, 3" Wheel Width, 10-1/2" Mount Height, 7-1/4" Plate Length, 5-1/4" Plate Width

The RWM Casters 76 Series swivel plate caster has a flat base with four bolt holes for bolting or welding to an object, a kingpinless swivel for smooth 360-degree rotation and to resist damage and for durability, and a black phenolic wheel for hardness and to resist extreme temperatures, and it is suitable for use with dollies, utility carts, tow lines, platform trucks, and other industrial applications. The kingpinless swivel on this caster operates on a precision-machined double-welded carbon steel raceway with a 3" diameter and 1/2" ball bearings and is hardened to a 53 Rockwell C minimum for durability and smooth 360-degree rotation. The raceway has offset sides that direct the load sideways into the metal for durability and to resist impact damage. The plate caster's wheel consists of a black phenolic resin that is infused and reinforced with macerated cotton canvas fabric for an extra hard tread with a hardness of 90 Shore D, and it is capable of withstanding temperatures that range from -65 to +275 degrees F for use in bakeries and other high-temperature industrial environments. The wheel rolls with ease, is quieter than a steel wheel, helps protect floors, and resists impact damage, oil, grease, and most acids and solvents. This caster has one lubrication fitting for the swivel section and one lubrication fitting for the wheel bearing to facilitate field maintenance. The caster frame is made of case hardened steel to resist cracking and it is finished with blue paint to resist dirt. This caster has a 2,500 lb. total capacity. It is commonly used for automotive assembly, tire manufacturing, and bakery applications, but can be used in many other industrial environments. Plate casters are wheeled mechanisms used to support and maneuver objects such as carts, racks, and dollies. Plate casters are named for their mounting system: they have a flat plate, usually with four bolt holes, that forms the top of the caster and attaches to the object. Plate casters vary in their maneuverability. Some are rigid and only roll at a fixed angle, while other casters swivel to allow a 360-degree change in direction. Plate casters may have brakes, and swivel casters may have locks to set them to a fixed angle. Casters may have single or twin (dual) wheels made from a variety of materials. Generally, wheels with hard tread material have a higher load capacity and roll easier than soft tread wheels, which provide quieter operation and cushioning. Load capacity for plate casters is also affected by tread width and wheel diameter. Plate casters are used on furniture, carts, shelving, appliances, scrap bins, production dollies, and utility trucks for material handling applications in a variety of industries.RWM Casters manufactures casters, wheels, and material handling products for automotive assembly, aerospace, and industrial applications. The company, founded in 1988 and headquartered in Gastonia, NC, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.
