01 Series

These 01 series casters are small light duty units for carts, stands, and fixtures that carry light loads. Casters in this collection range from 90 to 125 lb per caster. Wheels in this category range from about 2 up to 3 in diameter in polyurethane (poly or urethane) and thermoplastic rubber. Plates include 1-1/4 x 2-1/16 and 2-3/8 x 3-5/8 in. Soft rubber or TPR tread is the better pick when the floor has chips or grit. Threaded stem, grip-ring, and expanding rubber stems for round and square tubing all appear on light-duty builds. Common uses include food service, bakeries, hospitals, schools, laboratories, and material handling carts. Match plate size and overall height before you order. Choose swivel casters when the cart must turn in place, rigid casters for straight travel, and add a brake when the cart needs to stay put. Light duty hub: light duty casters. Stem aisle: stem casters.

Choosing Durastar 01 series casters

Load: plan on three casters carrying a four-caster cart [S2]; at 100 lb each, a common rating here, that is about 300 lb, and the 125 lb top rating covers about 375 lb.
Mount: most Durastar 01 series casters use a 1-1/4 x 2-1/16 in top plate; 2-3/8 x 3-5/8 in plates are listed too; match the bolt holes on your frame to the plate before ordering.
Floor: on Durastar 01 series casters, rubber and polyurethane are kinder to tile and finished floors; polyolefin rolls easier under heavy loads on smooth concrete.
Rig: swivel and rigid Durastar 01 series casters are listed.
