Frequently Asked Questions

What is the load capacity of this caster?+

This 3" Semi-Steel Swivel Caster – 350 lb is rated to 350 lbs per caster. Size a set by dividing the total load by the number of casters, and for uneven floors assume 3 of 4 casters carry the load. Keep continuous-use loads within about 75-80% of the rating.

What wheel does this caster use?+

This caster runs a Cast Iron wheel with a 1-1/4" tread width. Steel / iron wheels give maximum capacity and durability on smooth, hard industrial floors and tolerate heat.

How does this caster mount to my equipment?+

This caster uses a Threaded Stem mount (1/2"-13 x 1-1/2" stem). Stem casters press or thread into a socket - verify the stem diameter and length match your existing setup before ordering.

Is this a swivel or rigid caster, and how does the brake work?+

This is a Swivel caster. Swivel casters rotate 360 degrees for full maneuverability. For most mobile equipment we recommend 2 swivel + 2 rigid, or 4 swivel with at least 2 brakes.

What temperature range can this caster handle?+

Rated for -45°F to 600°F. Operating outside the rated range can reduce wheel life and load capacity, so match it to your environment (wash-down, freezer, oven-adjacent, etc.).

What floors and applications is it best for?+

The Cast Iron wheel performs best on smooth, hard industrial floors. For non-marking or clean-environment needs, ask us about matching tread options.

What is the overall mounted height?+

The overall height (floor to top of plate or stem) is 4-3/16". Account for it when checking equipment clearance, dock height, and ergonomic working height.

How do I order, and what are the terms?+

We accept purchase orders and offer Net 30 on approved accounts, ACH, and all major cards, plus tax-exempt ordering with a resale or exemption certificate. Volume discounts apply automatically; request a bulk quote for large or recurring orders. Stock items carry a 30-day return policy in unused condition (made-to-order items are non-returnable once production starts).
