Caster Mounting Washers

Diameter: 1 inTread: 1-15/16 in
Caster Mounting Washers for warehouse carts, racks, and everyday plant fixtures. Expect wheel diameters 1 in, steel treads, and industrial frames. Bring plate and stem measurements when replacing unmarked casters so the new corners sit level. When floors see chemicals or washdowns, prefer sealed bearings and non-absorbent wheel compounds. These medium-duty options cover everyday warehouse carts, racks, and everyday plant fixtures without jumping to extreme forged series.

Caster Mounting Washers: buying guide

Caster mounting washers — flat washers, split lock washers, fender washers, and tooth lock washers in standard caster bolt sizes (3/8, 1/2 inch). Required for proper caster installation to prevent the bolt from pulling through equipment material and to lock the bolt against vibration loosening. Bulk packs available. Stocked at our Mansfield, TX facility.
