Cast Iron Swivel Caster 8" x 2" - 1,760 lb

This swivel caster is rated at 1,760 lbs per wheel, matching the 8" rigid version. The swivel assembly adds 360-degree rotation for steering heavy carts, transfer equipment, and industrial dollies. The hardened swivel raceway maintains smooth turning under maximum load.

Yes. Both the 8" swivel and 8" rigid cast iron casters share the same 1,760 lb capacity, wheel height, and construction quality. Mount two rigid casters on one end and two swivel casters on the other for the standard industrial cart configuration with maximum load capacity.

The 8" diameter wheel distributes the load over a larger contact area, reducing point pressure on the floor. The larger wheel also rolls over cracks and debris that would jam smaller wheels under heavy load. Less rolling resistance means less push force needed to move heavy equipment.

The fork uses zinc plated steel with double welds on both the inside and outside of the fork mounts. This dual-weld construction handles the higher lateral forces that 1,760 lb loads place on the fork during turns and direction changes. The zinc plating resists corrosion from floor moisture and chemicals.

The Cast Iron/Steel Swivel Caster 8" x 2" with 1,760 lb capacity is priced at $39.72 (SKU CST-VE-8X2CI-S). It ships in stock from Creative Coating Solutions. Includes steel roller bearings, zinc plated double-welded fork, and dust cover seals.
