Engineer Tip — Jordan Wilson

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.

FAQs

What does the Shepherd part number PPA50302BC-5 mean?

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.

What is the load capacity of the PPA50302BC-5?

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.

Will the PPA50302BC-5 work on rough concrete?

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.

Is the PPA50302BC-5 made in the USA?

Shepherd's industrial casters are USA-manufactured. We provide BAA/TAA-compliant Country-of-Origin documentation on request for federal procurement, typical turnaround under 24 hours.
