3-inch Cast Iron Swivel Caster
This 3-inch cast iron swivel plate caster supports a 250 lb load rating for wheelbarrows, carts and similar yard equipment. The iron wheel and core provide a hard tread that resists wear on rough surfaces. A side brake lets you lock the wheel when the load must stay stationary. The unit is sold new and carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemicals linked to cancer and reproductive harm.
Upgrade from plastic or lighter-duty wheels
Replacing a plastic or lower-capacity wheel with this cast iron model adds durability on gravel, concrete and uneven ground. The jump is worth it when the current caster cracks, flats or cannot hold the required weight. No swivel lock is included, so the caster rotates freely unless the side brake is engaged. Buyers who need a locking swivel mechanism or a higher load rating should look elsewhere.
Steady rolling under continuous weight
The solid iron tread maintains its shape under sustained 250 lb loads without the deformation seen on softer materials. The side brake holds the wheel securely during extended stationary periods. Non-marking construction prevents dark streaks on finished floors when the equipment moves indoors. Performance remains consistent as long as the load stays within the rated capacity.

Questions about this item
What size mounting plate does this 3 in. caster need?
The caster mounts with a standard plate; hole spacing matches common cart and wheelbarrow brackets so you can bolt it directly to the frame.
How do you engage the side brake on this iron-wheel caster?
Push the side-mounted lever down until it locks against the wheel tread; the brake only holds when the lever is fully seated, not part-way.
When should the iron wheel on this 250 lb caster be replaced?
Replace the wheel if the tread shows flat spots, cracks, or excessive wear that causes vibration or reduces the 250 lb load rating.
