I represent Carolina Material Handling in
Greensboro, NC. I have over 16 years of
experience dealing with caster and wheel applications of all sorts. I will do a four or five part series
detailing the different type of caster applications in order to help solve
problems you may be having in your operation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 20.0pt; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-align: center; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-compound: simple; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-dash: solid; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-dpiwidth: .415pt; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-join: round; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-linecap: flat; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-pctmiterlimit: 0%; mso-style-textoutline-type: none;">Today we are starting the first part of the casters series. This blog focuses on the light-duty
industrial casters and wheels.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; mso-line-height-alt: 11.7pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 20.0pt; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-align: center; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-compound: simple; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-dash: solid; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-dpiwidth: .415pt; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-join: round; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-linecap: flat; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-pctmiterlimit: 0%; mso-style-textoutline-type: none;">These casters and wheels are used in industrial material handling
applications and oem equipment. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; mso-line-height-alt: 11.7pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 20.0pt; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-align: center; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-compound: simple; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-dash: solid; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-dpiwidth: .415pt; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-join: round; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-linecap: flat; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-pctmiterlimit: 0%; mso-style-textoutline-type: none;">Most standard specs are plate casters and stem casters. This time we will focus on plate
casters. These range between 200#
capacity to 350# capacity in this series.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; mso-line-height-alt: 11.7pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 20.0pt; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-align: center; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-compound: simple; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-dash: solid; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-dpiwidth: .415pt; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-join: round; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-linecap: flat; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-pctmiterlimit: 0%; mso-style-textoutline-type: none;">Zinc plate is the standard in this series and most are NSF listed. 304 Stainless steel is also available in this
series and used in pharmaceutical and food service applications where wash down
and chemicals and detergents are present.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; mso-line-height-alt: 11.7pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 20.0pt; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-align: center; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-compound: simple; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-dash: solid; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-dpiwidth: .415pt; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-join: round; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-linecap: flat; mso-style-textoutline-outlinestyle-pctmiterlimit: 0%; mso-style-textoutline-type: none;">These light-duty swivel casters feature double ball raceways for added
capacity and durability. Metal dust cap
to keep out debris. The stainless steel
models have a rubber gasket seal further protecting the raceway.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; mso-line-height-alt: 11.7pt;">

and lock nut. Typically we do not use a
zerk axle in this series because most of the wheels have sealed ball bearings
or delrin plastic bearings that do not require grease, but the zerk axle is
available.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

guards. This is a very aesthetic caster
and offer non marking wheel and resistant to chemical and detergents.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

All wheels are 1.25” wide tread width. Offering 200# capacity up to 350# capacities
depending on the wheel material.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

solid polyurethane wheels are the most common in the light-duty series.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; mso-line-height-alt: 11.7pt;">
