8" x 2" Rigid Plate Caster with Crowned Ductile Steel Wheel

Ductile steel is a composed of a combination of special alloys that give it higher weight capacities than cast iron; while being more economical than drop forged steel. Also referred to as malleable iron; material may flex rather than cracking or breaking when submitted to an extreme shock load. Features an extra thick walled, heavy-duty core, hub and tread face. Roller bearings are standard, with precision & tapered bearings as an option.

Crowned Ductile Steel (Energy Saver Ductile) wheel features a crowned tread that rolls and maneuvers better than flat tread wheels. The combination of a crowned tread and optional precision tapered roller bearings will require significantly less effort to start up, maintain a rolling load, maximize weight capacity and perform well in severe and abusive applications.

Idea for use on rough surfaces and has good rolling resistance under any condition.

The 47/48 Series offers matching swivel and rigid casters rated for medium-heavy duty use with capacities up to 2,000 lb. Constructed with 1/4″ thick top plates from hot forged ASTM1045 steel with legs also formed from 1/4″ thick steel.
