6 in. Swivel Plate Caster
This 6 in. swivel plate caster supports a 1000 lb load rating for heavy-duty carts and wheelbarrows. Its kingpinless design eliminates a common wear point and allows free swivel motion under full load. The polyurethane wheel and core resist marking on finished floors and stand up to rough outdoor surfaces. No brake or swivel lock is included, so the unit swivels continuously.
Capacity and headroom
At 1000 lb per caster, the unit handles loaded garden carts, equipment dollies and utility wagons without bottoming out on uneven ground. The 2 in. wide polyurethane tread spreads weight to reduce sinking in soft soil or gravel. Headroom ends when impact loads exceed the static rating or when a locking mechanism is required for stationary positioning. The caster ships without a brake, so it cannot hold a slope on its own.
Upgrade path
The kingpinless construction replaces traditional kingpin casters that loosen or shear under side thrust. Builders moving from standard bolt-on wheels gain longer service life and smoother swivel action on the same mounting plate pattern. The jump is worth it when carts see daily heavy loads or frequent direction changes. Buyers who need a built-in brake or directional lock must add those components separately.

Questions about this item
Will the 6 in. polyurethane wheel fit the existing mounting plate on my older cart?
The caster uses a swivel kingpinless plate design with a 6 in. wheel diameter and 2 in. width; verify your cart's bolt-hole spacing and plate dimensions match before installing.
How can I confirm the kingpinless swivel and non‑marking tread are working correctly after installation?
Roll the loaded cart across a clean floor; the wheel should swivel freely without a center kingpin and leave no marks, confirming the polyurethane tread and kingpinless raceway are functioning.
Does the package include mounting bolts or a swivel‑lock kit for the 1000 lb rated caster?
The box contains the single caster unit only; mounting hardware, swivel‑lock components and any brake kit are not included and must be purchased separately.
