DH Caster 3-1/2" Plate Mount Rigid Caster, Polyurethane, No Brake, 260 lb, C-LM35P1PUR

DH Casters Rigid Caster For Shop And Equipment

DH Casters rigid caster with a 3-1/2 inch blue solid polyurethane wheel provides a fixed, straight-line roll that keeps shop carts and equipment tracking in a predictable path during moves. The rigid design holds direction, which helps when pushing heavier loads in tight aisles or across work areas. A 260 lb load capacity per caster supports medium-duty service on carts and equipment in industrial and institutional settings where frequent repositioning is required. The 1-1/4 inch tread width gives a stable contact patch on the floor, which helps carts roll smoothly when the load is distributed over multiple casters. Blue solid polyurethane tread runs non-marking, so floors in shops, labs, or food service spaces stay free from black streaks. This caster has no brake, which suits applications where free-rolling movement is preferred over frequent locking.

Key Plate Mount Caster Details For Daily Use

• The plate mount design provides a flat, stable footprint on carts and equipment, which helps spread the 260 lb capacity over the mounting surface for dependable support.
• A 3-1/2 inch wheel diameter gives ground clearance appropriate for many shop carts and moving dollies, helping them roll over minor floor irregularities without dragging.
• The 1-1/4 inch tread width balances maneuverability with stability, which supports controlled rolling on warehouse and production floors when paired with other casters.
• The rigid type construction keeps the wheel pointed in a fixed direction, which simplifies straight-line travel on long runs in halls, warehouse lanes, and corridors.
• The blue solid polyurethane wheel material offers a non-marking contact surface, which helps protect finished floors in medical, lab, and food service environments from visible marks.
• Use on shop carts, medical and lab carts, food service equipment, warehouse carts, bread racks, automotive and electrical equipment, and moving dollies to match the caster to listed applications.

Plate Mount Caster Fit And Mounting Use

This plate mount rigid caster uses a plate size of 2-3/8 inch by 3-5/8 inch, which defines the mounting footprint on the cart or equipment base. Matching the plate size to the mounting surface helps seat the caster securely on shop carts, medical and lab carts, or food service equipment. The plate style mount supports installation on warehouse carts, bread racks, automotive and electrical equipment, and moving dollies where a flat mounting pad is provided. With the 260 lb load capacity, installers can assign an appropriate number of casters to support the total working load on the cart or rack. The fixed, non-swiveling design keeps the caster aligned, which supports predictable tracking when combined with swivel casters in typical cart layouts.

How This 260 Lb Plate Caster Works On The Job

Where This Rigid Polyurethane Caster Performs Best

This DH Casters rigid caster is specified for shop carts and equipment, which places it in general industrial environments where operators move tools, parts, or workpieces between stations. Use on medical and lab carts takes advantage of the blue solid polyurethane wheel, since the non-marking tread helps protect clean floors and corridors from visible streaks during frequent cart movement. Food service equipment and bread racks benefit from the same non-marking wheel, because the caster moves loads without depositing dark marks around prep areas or storage spaces. Warehouse carts and moving dollies use the 3-1/2 inch diameter wheel to roll loads across flat concrete or similar surfaces, where the diameter and 1-1/4 inch tread width work together to support steady rolling. Automotive and electrical equipment applications leverage the 260 lb capacity rating so that service carts can carry stocked tools or components across the shop within the caster's stated load range.

Why The Wheel, Plate, And Load Details Matter

The 3-1/2 inch wheel diameter and 1-1/4 inch tread width define how the caster meets the floor, which affects how easily carts start and maintain motion under load. A 260 lb load capacity allows planning of cart layouts where total expected weight is divided across multiple casters, supporting consistent performance under routine conditions. The plate size of 2-3/8 inch by 3-5/8 inch sets the mounting interface on the cart frame, so fabricators can prepare matching flat locations for each caster position. Using a rigid type caster on one end of a cart while pairing with swivel casters on the opposite end creates controlled tracking down aisles while still allowing turning from the swivel side. The blue solid polyurethane wheel provides a non-marking surface in contact with floors, which matters in medical, lab, food service, and finished warehouse environments where appearance and cleanup time are important. The plate mount construction aligns with common flat steel or structural bases on carts and equipment, integrating the caster into welded or bolted frames used in industrial and commercial facilities.
