8" Top Plate Rigid Caster with Cast Iron Wheel - 170CA08201R01

About This Caster - 170CA08201R01

Set this 8-inch Empire 170 cast iron rigid on a fixed corner of the heaviest foundry or oven cart that crosses the worst hot floors on a long run.

At 8 inches, the largest in this cast iron line, the wheel clears the biggest obstacles and pulls with the least effort, and the cast iron wheel holds from -100 to 800°F where rubber and poly cannot go. The trade is that an iron wheel is hard, noisy, and damages a soft floor, so it belongs on bare concrete or steel. It is built kingpinless with no central kingpin to fail. As a rigid caster it tracks straight on the fixed corners, runs on a roller bearing, bolts on a 4 by 4-1/2-inch top plate at a 9-1/2-inch mount height, and holds from -100 to 800°F.
