boxes, dollies and racks
- 40 Series casters are dimensionally identical to 40 Series casters,
other than its 1.5" wheel widths
- Full double ball bearing swivel raceways and hardened swivel bearing raceways
- Mounting Plate Size: 4" x 4-1/2" x 1/4"; Bolt Hole Spacing: 2-5/8" x
3-5/8", slotted to 3" x 3"; Mounting Bolt Diameter: 3/8"; Kingpin diameter 5/8"
- Bright zinc plated rigs (swivel and rigid). Lube fittings for swivel bearings

Cast Iron Wheels are exceptionally long wearing, have tremendous resistance to shock, and are a good choice for high capacity loads in warehousing and manufacturing. Recommended for rough concrete, wood block, and littered floors.
Forged steel wheels provide maximum strength and durability—even under a load as heavy as 10,000 pounds. They are virtually indestructible within their capacity range. Use them in the toughest applications and on the most demanding floors, with the heaviest loads.
Performance TPR wheel provides unsurpassed durability and reliability. It combines the durability of a hard-tread wheel with the quiet floor protection of a soft-tread wheel. It’s made of thermoplastic elastomer, permanently bonded to a polypropylene core. It will not mark floors. It is resistant to chemicals, acids, bases, alcohols, salts, and steam.
Phenolic wheels (also called Durastan) provide excellent service even in wet and cold applications. They resist degradation, deterioration, and corrosion from oil, grease, and commonly used acids and solvents. Recommended for all types of floors except resilient tiles.
Superior resistance to water and chemicals, better abrasion resistance than hard rubber, and a remarkable ability to withstand impact. Ideal uses include bakeries, meat packers, dairy, food processors, laundries, supermarkets, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities.
Also known as mold-on rubber, the rubber on iron wheel is floor-protective, provides long tread life, operates quietly, and is highly resilient. Suggest for almost all kinds of floors and for a variety of applications. It's well-suited for towline applications of the kind often found in freight terminals or warehouses.
Solid Urethane Wheels are designed primarily for applications involving high moisture. Injection-molded urethane, the urethane solid wheel provides extended service in moisture applications that normally destroy conventionally bonded wheels.
Non-marking Urethane on Aluminum wheels roll easier than rubber wheels—and outlast them. Capacities that approach those of steel wheels. They feature outstanding abrasion resistance, oil & chemical resistance, and good floor protection.
Capacities rival those of steel wheels. Careful attention is paid during the bonding process to assure that each wheel meets high performance standards. UI wheels are non-marking, and resistant to abrasion, chemicals, and oil. These wheels will typically outlast rubber wheels.
Mechanical bond eliminates bond separation due to wet conditions. Tread material is 95 Durometer Shore A and provides excellent rollability with a non-marking compound. Provides a smooth ride over rough surfaces. Excellent for wet applications and caustic surfaces.
V-Groove wheels are machined with a 90 degree groove for operation on inverted angle iron track. They are used to control the flow of a load (into an oven, between machines, over long distances, or where "production line" sequences must be maintained.)
