The Durastar Medium Heavy Duty 35 Series Ductile Steel Swivel Caster is engineered for extreme industrial applications requiring unparalleled strength and durability. With a 1500 lb load capacity and heavy-duty ductile steel construction, this caster delivers reliable performance in demanding environments such as manufacturing plants, warehouses, and material handling systems. Designed with precision and user safety in mind, it combines robust engineering with smooth maneuverability for optimal efficiency.
Durastar’s 35 Series reflects over decades of expertise in industrial mobility solutions. Trusted by professionals worldwide, this caster offers:
This 8" x 2-1/2" Ductile Steel Swivel Caster – 1500 lb is rated to 1500 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.
This caster runs a Ductile Iron wheel with a 2-1/2" tread width. Steel / iron wheels give maximum capacity and durability on smooth, hard industrial floors and tolerate heat.
This caster uses a top-plate mount and a 2-7/16" x 4-15/16" bolt pattern. Measure your existing mounting holes before ordering; if you are replacing casters, match the bolt pattern - most standard patterns interchange across brands.
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.
Rated for -20°F to 180°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.).
The Ductile Iron wheel performs best on smooth, hard industrial floors. For non-marking or clean-environment needs, ask us about matching tread options.
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).
