5-Inch Swivel Plate Caster

This 5-inch swivel plate caster supports a 315 lb load rating for wheelbarrows and carts. The polyurethane tread on a polyolefin core is non-marking and rolls smoothly over hard surfaces. A gray finish and solid brass components resist corrosion in outdoor use. It mounts with a standard plate pattern for quick bolt-on installation.

Installation Notes

The plate bolts directly to the frame with common hardware and no brake or swivel lock to adjust. Misaligned mounting holes are the most common issue and can cause binding or premature wear. Ensure the surface is flat and the bolts are tightened evenly to keep the swivel race running true. No specialised tools are required beyond a wrench or socket set.

Capacity and Limits

Rated at 315 lb per caster, it handles typical garden cart loads and light equipment moves with comfortable headroom. Exceeding the rating or frequent shock loading on rough ground will accelerate tread wear and may deform the polyolefin core. The swivel has no lock, so the caster is unsuitable for applications that require a fixed rolling direction under load.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 5 in wheel rotates freely after mounting the plate caster?

Spin the wheel by hand; it should turn smoothly without binding, and the swivel action should move through a full circle with no resistance.

What components arrive with the 315 lb swivel plate caster and what must I supply?

The caster ships fully assembled with polyurethane tread on a polyolefin core; you only need mounting bolts or screws for the plate.

Should I choose the 5 in diameter model or a different size for a 315 lb load rating?

This listing is the 5 in diameter version rated at 315 lb; select it when that wheel height and capacity match your cart or wheelbarrow.
