91 Series

This collection holds 91 Series casters with metal, polyurethane and forged steel wheels, built for heavy equipment, dies, molds, and plant carts that move very heavy loads. Casters in this collection range from 750 to 6,000 lb per caster. Wheels in this category range from 6 up to 12 inches in diameter with a 3 in tread width. The collection includes swivel models. 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. Forged steel wheels carry very heavy loads and handle impact, debris, and heat. They are loud and will mark finished floors. Match plate size, bolt pattern, and overall height before you order. Read the listing for the exact wheel size, overall height, and mount shown. Forged steel aisle: forged steel casters. Wheel hub: replacement wheels.

Choosing Durastar 91 series casters

  1. Load: plan on three casters carrying a four-caster cart [S2]; at 3,500 lb each, a common rating here, that is about 10,500 lb, and the 6,000 lb top rating covers about 18,000 lb.
  2. Mount: most Durastar 91 series casters use a 4-1/2 x 6-1/4 in top plate; check the bolt spacing on your frame against the plate size.
  3. Floor: on Durastar 91 series casters, polyurethane and rubber are kinder to tile and finished floors; ductile iron, nylon, semi-steel and phenolic roll easier under heavy loads on smooth concrete.
  4. Rig: swivel Durastar 91 series casters are listed.
  5. Heat: among Durastar 91 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.
