35 Series

This collection holds 35 Series casters with metal, polyurethane and rubber wheels, built for shop carts, equipment, and material handling carts that move heavier loads. Casters in this collection range from 350 to 1,500 lb per caster. Wheels in this category range from 5 up to 10 inches in diameter with 2 to 2-1/2 in tread widths. The collection includes swivel and rigid models. Flanged and V groove track wheels ride on rail or angle iron track for straight line travel. Metal wheels roll with low effort and handle debris and heat. They are loud and can mark finished floors. Polyurethane (poly or urethane) treads are quiet, floor safe, and resist water and many chemicals. Rubber wheels are quiet, cushion the load, and protect floors. Choose swivel casters when the cart must turn in place and rigid casters for straight travel. Forged steel aisle: forged steel casters. Wheel hub: replacement wheels.

Choosing Durastar 35 series casters

  1. Load: divide the loaded weight by three for a four-caster cart [S2]; at 1,500 lb each, Durastar 35 series casters suit a loaded cart of about 4,500 lb.
  2. Mount: most Durastar 35 series casters use a 4-1/2 x 6-1/4 in top plate; match the bolt holes on your frame to the plate before ordering.
  3. Floor: on Durastar 35 series casters, rubber and polyurethane are kinder to tile and finished floors; semi-steel, nylon, ductile iron, polyolefin and cast iron roll easier under heavy loads on smooth concrete.
  4. Rig: swivel and rigid Durastar 35 series casters are listed.
  5. Heat: among Durastar 35 series casters, the highest listed range is -45°F to 800°F on ductile iron; check the temperature field on each listing before oven or hot-room use.
