DH Casters Swivel Caster With 4" Wheel No Brake, Plate Mount 300lb Capacity - C-LM4P1HDPS

DH Casters Swivel Caster 4 Inch For Carts

DH Casters swivel caster 4 inch with plate mount is a plate mounted caster designed for builders hardware projects where controlled mobility is needed. The 4 inch wheel diameter allows carts and equipment to roll over typical shop, warehouse, and facility floors with steady movement, which helps when maneuvering loaded carts in tight aisles. A tread width of 1-1/4 inch concentrates the load onto a defined track, which improves steering response on smooth surfaces. The polyolefin heavy plastic wheel construction provides a hard rolling surface, which helps carts start and keep moving with less rolling resistance on firm floors. A 300 lb load capacity rating defines how much weight the caster supports, so carts, dollies, and equipment can be planned around that working limit. As a swivel type caster, the wheel assembly rotates around a vertical axis, allowing carts to pivot and change direction without dragging the wheel sideways.

Key Plate Mounted Caster Details For Pros

• The plate mount design in the plate mount product class gives a flat mounting interface, which helps installers fasten the caster securely to cart bases and equipment frames during fabrication or repair.
• A plate size of 2-3/8 inch by 3-5/8 inch defines the contact area against the mounting surface, which helps layout work when positioning bolt patterns and checking that the caster footprint suits the cart frame.
• The 300 lb load capacity rating sets the working load for each caster, which helps builders calculate total cart capacity by multiplying the number of casters used in an assembly.
• The wheel type listed as heavy plastic polyolefin provides a hard, durable rolling surface, which helps carts used in industrial and institutional locations roll smoothly across firm, level floors.
• The non-marking wheel characteristic means the wheel resists leaving marks on floors, which matters in medical, lab, and food service areas where floor appearance and cleanliness are part of day-to-day standards.
• Full double ball bearing heat-treated raceways in the swivel section allow smoother rotation under load, which helps the caster track and swivel consistently when starting, stopping, or changing direction with equipment weight on it.
• The axle and nut wheel assembly construction keeps the wheel fixed on its axle, which maintains alignment of the rolling surface and supports predictable tracking during repeated use.
• Zinc plating for corrosion resistance protects metal components from rust in normal indoor environments, which helps extend service life for casters used on shop carts, bread racks, or warehouse equipment.

Plate Mount Swivel Caster Fit And Use Details

This plate mounted caster belongs to the plate mount product class, so the mounting plate forms the structural connection between the caster and the cart or equipment base. The specified plate size of 2-3/8 inch by 3-5/8 inch defines the mounting footprint, which guides fabricators when laying out hole locations on steel tube frames, wood decks, or equipment brackets. A swivel caster type allows the fork to rotate around a vertical axis, which lets carts pivot in confined spaces commonly found around shop equipment and warehouse racking. The 4 inch wheel diameter lifts cart bases off the floor, which provides ground clearance under carts built for shop carts and equipment, warehouse carts, and moving dollies. A tread width of 1-1/4 inch sets the contact patch, which helps balance load support with maneuverability for medical and lab carts or food service equipment.

Where This 4 Inch Polyolefin Caster Works Best

Applications Across Shop, Medical, And Warehouse Use

This swivel caster is specified for shop carts and equipment, so it supports moving tools, components, and workpieces between benches or machines. In medical and lab carts, the non-marking wheel characteristic helps sensitive areas stay clean while still allowing carts to move smoothly. For food service equipment, the zinc plated construction resists corrosion from normal indoor humidity, which supports daily rolling of service carts and kitchen support racks. Warehouse carts and moving dollies benefit from the 300 lb load capacity per caster, which helps teams move stacked materials and parts within the stated weight range. Bread racks and automotive and electrical equipment also fall within the listed applications, so the caster fits rolling racks or service carts used in those environments.

Details That Support Smooth Swiveling And Rolling

The full double ball bearing heat-treated raceways in the swivel section distribute load around the turning mechanism, which helps the caster swivel freely even when supporting substantial weight during direction changes. A polyolefin heavy plastic wheel creates a firm rolling surface, which supports low rolling resistance on hard floors found in warehouses, labs, and production areas. The axle and nut wheel assembly secures the wheel on its axle, which helps maintain consistent alignment so carts track straight over repeated trips. Zinc plating applied for corrosion resistance protects the core metal structure, which supports long-term use on shop carts or bread racks that experience frequent washdowns or humid environments. As part of the plate mount product class, the defined plate size of 2-3/8 inch by 3-5/8 inch simplifies matching caster locations across multiple carts, which supports consistent handling characteristics across a fleet of equipment.
