Rigid Plate Caster for Heavy Loads
This rigid plate caster supports a 400 lb load rating with a 5 inch rubber wheel on an iron core. It is designed for yard tools such as wheelbarrows and carts that need straight-line tracking without swivel movement. The unit arrives new and includes no brake or swivel lock mechanism. Buyers who need a swivel caster or a wheel with a brake should look elsewhere.
Thermals Noise and Power Draw
The rubber tread and iron core operate without a motor, so there is no power consumption, fan noise or heat generation during normal rolling use. Rolling resistance stays low on flat surfaces, keeping manual pushing effort predictable. California Proposition 65 notices indicate the presence of chemicals linked to cancer and reproductive harm. The caster is non-marking only where the tread material permits.
Sustained Load Behaviour
Under continuous 400 lb loading the rigid plate maintains alignment because it lacks a swivel joint that could develop play over time. The solid rubber tyre resists permanent deformation better than pneumatic alternatives when left under static weight. Iron core construction prevents the hub from cracking under repeated impact loads. The absence of a brake means the wheel rolls freely unless an external stop is applied.

Questions about this item
How do I mount the rigid plate caster and which step is often missed?
Bolt the plate through its four holes using hardware matched to the mounting surface; the step often missed is confirming the bolts are tight and the plate sits flush so the 400 lb load rating is fully supported.
What part of this caster will wear out first and need replacement?
The rubber tread on the 5 in wheel will wear down with use; when the tread is smooth or cracked the wheel should be replaced to keep the cart rolling safely.
What limit appears first when this caster runs continuously under load?
The 400 lb load rating is the first limit; exceeding it risks wheel deformation or plate bending during sustained use.
