DH Caster 5" Plate Mount Swivel Caster, With Brake, 900 lb, C-MHD5PNSB

DH Casters Swivel Caster With Brake For Heavy Loads

DH Casters swivel caster with brake uses a 5 inch phenolic wheel, so each caster can carry up to 900 lb and still roll under heavy shop or warehouse loads. The swivel design lets carts and equipment change direction in tight aisles, while the integrated brake lets you hold position when loading, unloading, or working at a fixed station. A plate mount with a 3-15/16 inch by 4-1/2 inch plate spreads the load into the cart frame, which supports stable mounting on platform trucks, flatbed carts, containers, automotive equipment, distribution carts, and warehouse equipment. The 2 inch tread width gives a firm footprint, helping equipment track straight under load. This caster is designed above industry standards, so the construction focuses on handling frequent movement and high load demands in busy material-handling environments.

Heavy-Duty Caster Details That Support Daily Use

• The phenolic wheel on this caster is described as non-marking, so it can move loads while helping floors in warehouses or shops stay cleaner where marking transfer is a concern.
• Full double ball raceways that are heat treated support the swivel action, so the caster can rotate under load for repeated direction changes on platform trucks or distribution carts.
• Double-welded legs hold the wheel assembly to the yoke, giving added structural support when the 900 lb rated caster is pushed, pulled, or turned across busy work areas.
• A nut-and-bolt kingpin ties the swivel components together mechanically, so the swivel section is built for serviceability when the caster is used on frequently moved equipment.
• Zinc plating on the caster components offers a protective finish, so the metal surfaces are better protected in typical shop, warehouse, or distribution environments.
• Zerk fittings for grease reach all bearings, so the swivel and wheel can be lubricated through normal maintenance routines to keep rolling and turning action smooth.

Plate Mount Swivel Caster Setup And Fit

This caster uses a plate mount design with a 3-15/16 inch by 4-1/2 inch plate, so it is suited to equipment set up for plate mounted casters rather than stem styles. The plate mount spreads the 900 lb load rating across a larger surface, supporting stable attachment to platform trucks, flatbed carts, containers, automotive equipment, distribution carts, and warehouse equipment. The swivel type construction lets the wheel rotate for maneuvering, while the brake function lets operators hold a position at docks, loading areas, or workstations. A 5 inch wheel diameter and 2 inch tread width give a balance of rolling height and footprint, which fits many carts and trucks that need clearance while still staying stable under heavy loads.

Using This 900 Lb Plate Mount Caster In The Field

Where This 5 Inch Phenolic Swivel Caster Works Best

This plate mounted caster is specified for applications such as platform trucks, flatbed carts, containers, automotive equipment, distribution carts, and warehouse equipment, so it is suited to material handling setups that need frequent movement of heavy loads. The 900 lb load capacity lets each caster carry substantial weight, which supports carts that are routinely loaded with dense materials or tooling. A 5 inch phenolic wheel with a 2 inch tread width offers a compact yet sturdy rolling surface, so it works well where floor space is tight but equipment still needs a solid footprint. The phenolic wheel is described as non-marking, which helps when moving on floors where appearance or cleanup time matters. With a swivel type design, this caster lets operators pivot and navigate through aisles, around machinery, or into staging areas with less shuffling of heavy carts.

Design Details That Support Smooth, Repeatable Movement

The caster is described as designed above industry standards, and it uses full double ball heat treated raceways, so the swivel motion is supported by hardened bearing paths that handle frequent turning under load. Double-welded legs connect the yoke to the wheel area, which adds rigidity when carts encounter transitions or uneven joints during routine movement. A nut-and-bolt kingpin holds the swivel assembly together in a serviceable way, so the rotating section can handle daily use on distribution carts and warehouse equipment. Zinc plating provides a protective surface on the metal components, supporting the caster in typical warehouse or shop conditions. Zerk fittings for grease reach all bearings, so lubrication can be applied directly into the swivel and wheel bearing areas to keep movement consistent over time. With the integrated brake on the 5 inch wheel, the caster can hold carts in place during loading or when positioning automotive equipment, which supports safer, more controlled workflows.
