5" x 2" Rigid Caster with Polyurethane on Aluminum Round Tread Wheel, Albion 62 Series - 62AX05228R

About This Caster - 62AX05228R

Set this 5-inch 62 Series rigid on the back corners of a heavy non-marking cart, the polyurethane-on-aluminum caster whose maroon tread carries the load on a die-cast core that does not deflect where a plastic-core poly wheel cups under weight.

A polypropylene-core poly wheel flexes and cups at the edge under a heavy load, and a cast iron wheel marks the floor and runs loud; the 62 Series AX wheel molds the polyurethane to an aluminum core that holds its shape under a high industrial load and stays non-marking. The round crowned tread cuts rolling resistance, the precision ball bearing carries the weight cool, and the 6-1/4 by 4-1/2 top plate bolts to a flat deck. Industrial-duty.

Ideal applications

• Back corners of heavy non-marking carts
• Loads that cup a plastic-core poly wheel
• Quiet non-marking travel where cast iron would mark

Skip the polyurethane wheel if the floor runs near heat over 180°F or takes hard impacts; a cast iron 62 Series wheel takes the heat and a high-impact polymer 62NX04228R absorbs the hits.

Pairs with: a matching 62 Series swivel up front for a non-marking cart.
