DH Caster 5" Plate Mount Swivel Caster, Polyurethane/Cast Iron, With Brake, 900 lb, C-MHD5PUSB

DH Casters Swivel Caster For Heavy Loads

DH Casters swivel caster with 5 inch polyurethane / cast iron wheel with brake is built for jobs needing a 900 lb capacity plate mount. The 5 inch diameter wheel with 2 inch tread width supports heavy loads while staying compact under platform trucks, flatbed carts, containers, automotive equipment, distribution carts and warehouse equipment. The poly / cast iron wheel design provides a hard core with a durable tread, so the caster carries weight confidently while maintaining consistent rolling performance on typical shop and warehouse floors. The swivel type caster lets equipment change direction smoothly, and the integrated brake helps hold position when equipment needs to stay put for loading, unloading or precise positioning during work. As a plate mount caster in the plate mounted casters category, it suits applications where a flat mounting plate is already part of the equipment frame.

Key Plate Mount Caster Details For Pros

• The 900 lb load capacity lets each caster carry substantial weight on platform trucks, flatbed carts, containers, automotive equipment, distribution carts and warehouse equipment, so fewer units can support heavy assemblies when mounted correctly on the equipment frame.
• The 5 inch wheel diameter with 2 inch tread width gives a compact footprint that still rolls effectively under load, which helps equipment navigate typical warehouse aisles and shop spaces without requiring excessive clearance around the caster.
• The poly / cast iron wheel type combines a sturdy cast iron structure with a polyurethane tread, so the wheel supports heavy weights while the tread manages contact with floors in demanding material handling environments.
• The plate mount design with a plate size of 3-15/16 inch by 4-1/2 inch matches common plate mounted casters layouts, which helps installers line up bolt patterns on compatible trucks, carts and equipment bases.
• The non-marking wheel br characteristic means the tread is designed not to mark typical floors, which matters where finished surfaces or high-visibility warehouse paths must stay cleaner during repeated equipment movement.
• The brake on this swivel caster allows wheels to be restrained when needed, which supports safer loading, unloading and positioning of carts or equipment in busy shop and warehouse workflows.

Plate Mount Swivel Caster Fit And Setup

This plate mount caster uses a plate size of 3-15/16 inch by 4-1/2 inch, so it aligns with mounting areas sized for that footprint on platform trucks, flatbed carts, containers, automotive equipment, distribution carts and warehouse equipment. The plate mount product class provides a flat interface that suits welded or bolted frames where installers use a rectangular plate connection instead of a stem. The swivel caster type lets the wheel rotate around a vertical axis, so equipment can pivot and steer in tight spaces commonly found in distribution and shop layouts. With a wheel diameter of 5 inches and 2 inch tread width, the caster positions equipment at a predictable height, which helps maintain level working surfaces across multiple casters on the same cart or truck.

How This Heavy-Duty Caster Works In Use

Where The C-MHD5PUSB Caster Is Applied

This DH Casters swivel caster is specified for platform trucks, flatbed carts, containers, automotive equipment, distribution carts and warehouse equipment, so it fits material handling setups that regularly see concentrated loads. The 900 lb load capacity supports heavy components or stacked goods on a single point, which is valuable when four or more casters share the load on a truck or cart frame. The 5 inch poly / cast iron wheel works well where a hard wheel structure is needed under weight while the tread manages contact with typical industrial floors during repeated rolling. As a plate mount caster in the builders hardware and plate mounted casters category, it fits into assemblies that already rely on plate style mounting for their mobility hardware across demanding jobs in shops and warehouses.

Details That Support Consistent Caster Performance

This caster is described as designed above industry standards, so its construction targets demanding applications where consistent performance at 900 lb capacity is important. The full doubleball heat treated raceways help the swivel action carry heavy loads smoothly, which keeps steering and maneuvering predictable when trucks or carts change direction under weight. Double-welded legs add structural strength around the wheel, which matters when equipment encounters floor transitions or occasional impacts during normal movement. The nut-and-bolt kingpin configuration provides a robust swivel connection, supporting reliable rotation as loads shift. Zinc plating protects the caster surfaces in normal warehouse and shop environments, which helps the caster maintain function as it is exposed to common indoor conditions. Zerk fittings for grease help maintain all bearings, so lubrication can be added directly where the caster rotates, supporting smoother swivel and wheel rotation during ongoing use.
