Blickle Rigid Casters

This collection holds Blickle Rigid Casters with polyurethane and TPR wheels, built for shop carts, equipment, and material handling carts that move heavier loads. Casters in this collection range from 200 to 770 lb per caster. Wheels in this category range from 3 up to 5 inches in diameter with 1-1/4 to 10 in tread widths. The collection includes rigid models. Polyurethane (poly or urethane) treads are quiet, floor safe, and resist water and many chemicals. Thermoplastic rubber (TPR) is quiet, will not mark floors, and rolls over chips and grit. Soft rubber or TPR is the better pick when the floor has chips or grit. Match plate size, bolt pattern, and overall height before you order. Read the listing for the exact wheel size, overall height, and mount shown. Confirm the load rating printed on the title before you order. Measure the old wheel or caster before you buy. Polyurethane aisle: polyurethane casters. Wheel hub: replacement wheels.

Choosing Blickle rigid casters

  1. Load: plan on three casters carrying a four-caster cart [S2]; at 400 lb each, a common rating here, that is about 1,200 lb, and the 770 lb top rating covers about 2,310 lb.
  2. Mount: most Blickle rigid casters use a 2 x 3 in top plate; 2-1/2 x 3-5/8 in plates are listed too; measure bolt hole centers on the old plate and compare.
  3. Floor: on Blickle rigid casters, polyurethane and rubber are kinder to tile and finished floors; nylon and stainless steel roll easier under heavy loads on smooth concrete.
  4. Rig: rigid Blickle rigid casters are listed.
