8″ Ductile Steel Wheel – Model 150 Rigid Caster

Model 150 Plate Casters with Rigid are used in partnership with the matching plate swivel caster. Plate Caster Model 150s usually have 4” wide wheels with a 1 1/4” diameter axle. The mounting plate is 5/8” thick. The leg thickness is 1/2”. These specs are designed to handle the most arduous caster tasks. Rigid Model 150 plate casters are moved with mechanically powered equipment. All of our frames are zinc plated for rust protection and wheel bearings have a grease fitting. Rigid casters are used to control the direction machine is moved when direct line travel is needed. The same model swivel casters should be connected nearest the push handle or tow bar. Rigid casters are not able to move sideways, you must select swivel casters for maximum movement in enclosed space. *This Plate Caster Model 150 contains the Ductile Steel Wheel.

Ideal for industrial and manufacturing settings where floor wear is secondary to the critical tasks performed, these wheels are available in 2”, 3”, and 4” widths and diameters ranging from 4” to 16”. With high ductility and tensile strength, our ductile steel wheels absorb shocks and impacts without failure, ensuring reliable performance in rugged environments. For precise, guided movement, we offer a V-groove design that rolls smoothly on inverted angle iron tracks, providing stable and controlled operation in demanding conditions. These Ductile Steel Industrial Caster Wheels are built for exceptional durability, featuring either roller bearings or sealed precision ball bearings, with load ratings determined solely by bearing capacity. Each wheel includes a lubrication fitting in the hub for easy maintenance and prolonged service life. Capable of withstanding temperatures up to 400°F depending on the application, these solid steel wheels are well-suited for challenging environments. For continuous temperatures above 400°F, where steel roller bearings and spanner bushings may anneal, consult our engineering team to ensure optimal performance in high-temperature applications. While Ductile Steel Industrial Caster Wheels excel at handling substantial loads in harsh conditions, they can damage most factory floors under heavy loads. To mitigate this, they are typically used on steel plating, in metal channels, or as V-grooved wheels on angle iron tracks to protect costly flooring. Compared to Gray Iron wheels, our ductile steel wheels offer superior ductility and tensile strength, making them the top choice for environments requiring shock absorption and reliability. Contact Caster City for custom configurations to meet your heavy-duty needs with our durable, high-capacity ductile steel wheels.
