Cast Iron Rigid Caster 4" x 2" - 1,102 lb

This caster is rated at 1,102 lbs per wheel. The load rating applies to smooth, flat surfaces at walking speed. For carts using four casters, calculate total cart capacity at roughly 3x the single-caster rating to account for uneven load distribution and dynamic forces during movement.

This caster uses steel roller bearings with hardened bearing raceways and dust cover seals. Roller bearings handle heavier loads than ball bearings at the same size and resist flat-spotting under sustained static loads. The dust covers keep debris out of the bearing race in shop environments.

Yes. Cast iron wheels resist most industrial chemicals, solvents, and oils found in powder coating shops and manufacturing facilities. The zinc plated fork finish adds corrosion resistance to the mounting hardware. These casters handle exposure to moisture without rusting or degrading.

Rigid casters roll in a fixed straight line and provide directional stability. Swivel casters rotate 360 degrees for steering and direction changes. Most industrial carts use two rigid casters on one end and two swivel casters on the other for a combination of stability and maneuverability.
