Rigid Plate Caster 4 in 260 lb
This rigid plate caster supports a 260 lb load rating with a 4 in wheel diameter. The wheel uses rubber tread on a polyolefin core and is non-marking. It has no brake and no swivel lock, so the wheel rolls straight without steering. Suitable for carts and wheelbarrows needing fixed-direction movement.
Build Quality and Mounting
The plate mounting allows direct bolting to flat surfaces on equipment frames. Rubber tread on a polyolefin core resists floor marking and provides quiet rolling on smooth surfaces. The rigid design eliminates swivel play, keeping loaded carts tracking straight during transport. No brake means the caster rolls freely unless the equipment has its own locking system.
Upgrade From Swivel or Lower Capacity Casters
This caster replaces swivel casters when straight-line tracking is preferred over maneuverability. It also upgrades from lower-capacity rigid casters that cannot handle 260 lb loads. The jump is worth it when equipment moves on fixed paths and floor protection is required. Not for applications needing steering or wheel locking at the caster.
