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 mounts on a 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ top plate. Thread guards are fitted to keep string, film, and debris out of the axle. This model is supplied with a side brake. A 3/8″ steel bushing rides on a 3/8″ axle for smooth, low-effort rolling.
Load and duty. The 325 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 950 lb cart with margin for shock loading and uneven floors. Continuous operating range is -30°F to 140°F.
About Series 26. Series 26 is our medium duty industrial caster line, offered in both swivel and rigid plate models. It is built to a higher mount height than the rest of the 20 Series, which makes it a straightforward replacement caster across a wide range of existing equipment. Capacities run from 180 lb to 425 lb per caster, with a choice of three plate sizes and four brake options.
