E-line Rigid 5"x2" Polyurethane-on-Iron Wheel 4"x4.5" Plate Caster With Tread Lock Brake; Part# ER5X2MOPTBK

About This Caster - ER5X2MOPTBK

Set this 5-inch braked rigid on the back corners of a medium-duty cart that rolls a finished aisle and then has to lock down, where the wheel carries weight and must hold once set.

The wheel molds a polyurethane tread onto a cast iron core: the iron carries the load where a plastic core would flex, and the red poly tread rolls non-marking on a finished floor. The tread-lock brake presses on the wheel to hold the loaded cart still, the rigid fork keeps the cart tracking straight, and the roller bearing carries the weight. At 5 inches the wheel rolls easier over seams, the Pemco 4 by 4-1/2 inch top plate bolts to a flat deck, and the tread holds to 180°F.

Ideal applications

• Back corners of medium-duty carts locked on a finished aisle
• Tread-lock brake holding a 5-inch rigid still
• Cast iron core under a braked 5-inch rigid

Past 180°F or on an oily floor the poly tread gives up; a cast iron E-line wheel takes the heat under the same brake. See the Pemco collection.

Pairs with: plain ER5X2MOP rigids on the corners that only roll.

Wrong fit? No brake needed or a taller wheel? See the plain ER5X2MOP and the 6-inch braked ER6X2MOPTBK.
