The Shepherd PPA50302BC-5 is a 50" x 1-1" grip neck stem caster rated 375 lbs per caster, mounted on a standard plate. It is built for industrial use where part-number-exact specification, capacity, and bearing life take priority. The 50" diameter rolls cleanly over expansion joints and floor seams smaller wheels stall on. In stock at CasterHQ Mansfield, TX with same-day shipping on quantities of 1-100 placed before 2:00 PM Central. BAA / TAA documentation available on request for federal, defense, and aerospace procurement.
I spec Shepherd on light-to-medium duty rolling equipment where total height and footprint matter as much as capacity. The PPA50302BC-5 earns its place when smooth-roll quiet operation and floor protection are the controlling spec. Pair 50" on the steered axle with a matching rigid version on the trailing axle for true four-position cart kinematics. If your floor has expansion joints over 1/2" wide, step up to a larger wheel diameter.
Shepherd encodes its part numbers by series, wheel material, wheel diameter, plate size, bearing type, and mount style. The PPA50302BC-5 is decoded by your CasterHQ engineer at order time — call us at 844-439-4335 for a full breakdown.
375 lbs per caster dynamic. On a 4-caster cart with even load distribution and a 1.3x safety factor for moving loads, that yields the rated working capacity per cart.
Yes for cast iron and steel wheels. 50" diameter rolls over expansion joints and seams cleanly. For polished or epoxy floors, ask us about poly-on-iron or thermoplastic options.

This Shepherd PPA50302BC-5 50" x 1-1" Caster — 375 lb is rated to 375 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 uses a Grip Neck Stem mount (5/16" 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.
The overall height (floor to top of plate or stem) is 2-3/8". Account for it when checking equipment clearance, dock height, and ergonomic working height.
