DH Caster 5" Plate Mount Swivel Caster, Polyurethane/Cast Iron, No Brake, 900 lb, C-MHD5PUS

DH Casters Swivel Caster For Heavy Loads

DH Casters swivel caster is a plate mounted caster designed for demanding material handling where a 900 lb load capacity is required. The 5 inch wheel diameter supports easier rolling under load on platform trucks, flatbed carts, containers, automotive equipment, distribution carts and warehouse equipment. A 2 inch tread width spreads the load across more surface area, which helps the caster carry weight while keeping movement predictable on typical hard industrial floors.

The wheel uses a poly / cast iron construction, combining a poly tread with a cast iron core to create a non-marking wheel that still supports heavy loads. Swivel design allows carts and equipment to change direction in tight aisles. The plate mount with a 3-15/16 inch by 4-1/2 inch plate provides a broad mounting footprint, which matters when equipment frames see repeated impacts and directional changes in everyday warehouse movement.

This caster has no brake, which keeps operation simple for carts and equipment that are controlled by positioning rather than on-wheel locks.

Heavy-Duty Caster Details That Support Daily Use

• The 900 lb load capacity lets a single caster handle substantial weight on platform trucks and carts, so four-caster setups can support heavy loads in warehouse and distribution environments.
• The 5 inch wheel diameter helps the caster roll more smoothly over minor floor irregularities, which supports easier manual positioning of loaded flatbed carts and containers in busy work areas.
• The 2 inch tread width provides a stable contact patch, which helps loaded automotive equipment and warehouse carts track consistently during turns and directional changes.
• The poly / cast iron wheel construction creates a non-marking wheel, which helps protect finished floors while still carrying heavy loads in material handling workflows.
• The plate mount with a 3-15/16 inch by 4-1/2 inch plate gives a wide mounting surface, which helps distribute forces into the equipment frame under repeated movement and turning.
• The swivel type caster lets equipment rotate around the mounting point, which supports maneuvering distribution carts and warehouse equipment in tighter aisle layouts.

Swivel Plate Mount Caster Fit And Mounting

This swivel plate mount caster uses a plate size of 3-15/16 inch by 4-1/2 inch, giving a defined mounting footprint for equipment frames and cart bases that accept a plate mounted caster. The plate mount construction positions the 5 inch diameter, 2 inch tread width wheel directly under the mounting plate, which helps keep equipment height changes predictable when replacing or specifying casters.

The 900 lb load capacity rating defines how much weight the caster supports in service, which is important when matching caster count and placement to the expected loads on platform trucks, flatbed carts, containers, automotive equipment, distribution carts and warehouse equipment.

The swivel configuration allows the wheel to rotate around a vertical axis at the plate, which is important for carts that must change direction frequently along warehouse aisles and around equipment rows.

Using This 900 Lb Plate Mount Caster In The Field

Where This Heavy-Duty Swivel Caster Performs Best

This 900 lb plate mount caster is specified for platform trucks, flatbed carts, containers, automotive equipment, distribution carts and warehouse equipment, so it is suited to material handling roles where heavy loads are routinely moved. The 5 inch diameter wheel provides a balance between low overall cart height and rolling performance, which matters where operators push or pull loads through production or warehouse spaces.

The 2 inch tread width and poly / cast iron wheel construction combine to support weight while offering a non-marking wheel for applications where floor appearance and surface condition are priorities. This matters on distribution and warehouse floors that see continual cart traffic across painted lines, sealed concrete or other finished surfaces used in woodworking or general industrial environments.

The swivel type is useful where carts must navigate turns, dock areas and aisle intersections during daily workflows. Because the caster has no brake, it suits equipment that is positioned using wheel orientation and chocking methods external to the caster, such as platform trucks staged at work cells or containers placed at loading points.

Details That Help Maintain Consistent Caster Performance

This caster is described as designed above industry standards and features full doubleball heat treated raceways, which support the swivel function by helping distribute load within the swivel head. That detail matters for repeatable turning and service life under heavy loads in warehouse and distribution use.

Double-welded legs are specified, which reinforces the yoke that holds the 5 inch poly / cast iron wheel. In use, that construction helps the caster resist leg deflection when carts carrying heavy loads hit joints, thresholds or floor irregularities.

The nut-and-bolt kingpin construction ties the swivel assembly together, which matters for maintaining the swivel joint under the 900 lb capacity when carts are repeatedly started, stopped and turned. Zinc plating is specified, which provides a protective finish on the metal components, useful in typical indoor industrial, distribution and automotive equipment settings.

Zerk fittings for grease are mentioned for maintaining all bearings, giving a defined lubrication point for the swivel and wheel bearings. That feature supports smoother rolling and swiveling over time, especially on equipment that cycles through frequent moves in warehouse equipment fleets or on platform trucks serving multiple workstations.
