Where it fits. Polypropylene is the economical workhorse tread. It will not rust, corrode, or absorb water, it resists most cleaning chemicals, and its hard surface rolls with very little effort. Hard treads transmit floor irregularity and noise, so specify polypropylene where floors are smooth and quiet operation is not the priority. This swivel model rotates a full 360 degrees and is normally specified two per cart with two rigid casters at the opposite end, or four per cart where the equipment has to move sideways in tight aisles.
Construction. The yoke is formed from zinc-plated steel for corrosion resistance. It uses a threaded stem attachment. This model is supplied with a cam brake. A plain bore bearing rides on a 5/16″ axle for smooth, low-effort rolling.
Load and duty. The 150 lb rating is per caster. Standard practice is to size a four-caster set assuming three casters carry the load, so this model supports roughly a 450 lb cart with margin for shock loading and uneven floors. Continuous operating range is -20°F to 140°F.
About Series 10. Series 10 is our light duty caster line for capacities under 200 lb. It is an economical workhorse used across janitorial, hospitality, institutional, and food service equipment.
