DH Casters Swivel Caster With 6" Moldon Rubber Wheel With Brake, Plate Mount 450lb Capacity - C-MHD6MRSB

Swivel Caster With 6 Inch Moldon Rubber Wheel

Swivel caster with 6 inch moldon rubber wheel with brake from DH Casters gives a 6 inch diameter, 2 inch tread width wheel that supports 450 lb, so platform trucks and carts can move heavy loads while keeping maneuvering smooth in tight aisles. The plate mount design, using a plate size of 3-15/16 inch by 4-1/2 inch, creates a broad mounting footprint that helps spread load forces into the cart frame for a solid feel under load. Full doubleball heat treated raceways manage swivel motion under weight, so the caster turns freely when carts are started or steered around corners. Double-welded legs support the moldon rubber wheel, so side loads during turns are handled by welded steel structure. A nut-and-bolt kingpin ties the swivel assembly together, so the head remains serviceable in demanding use. Zinc plating on metal parts resists normal shop and warehouse environments, so surfaces stay protected during regular operation.

Key Caster Details For Heavy-Duty Use

• The 450 lb load capacity rating defines how much weight each caster can carry, which lets installers size the number of casters on platform trucks or containers so the overall load support matches typical warehouse or automotive equipment weights.
• The 6 inch wheel diameter with 2 inch tread width sets rolling and contact behavior, giving carts a footprint that balances easier rolling over typical warehouse floors with a tread width that keeps loads stable on flatbed carts and distribution carts.
• The moldon rubber wheel type combines a molded rubber tread and core style construction, which provides a contact surface suited to frequent rolling on hard surfaces found under warehouse equipment and automotive equipment setups.
• The plate mount design with a 3-15/16 inch by 4-1/2 inch plate size establishes a defined mounting interface, which simplifies laying out bolt patterns on platform trucks, flatbed carts, containers, and distribution carts for consistent mounting positions.
• The integrated brake on this swivel caster lets users hold carts in place when loading or unloading, which helps keep platform trucks and flatbed carts from rolling on slightly sloped floors during normal handling.

Plate Mount Swivel Caster Setup And Fit

This DH Casters swivel caster uses a plate mount in the plate mount product class, so installers match the 3-15/16 inch by 4-1/2 inch plate to the cart or equipment frame surface for a flat, stable interface. With a 450 lb load capacity, planners decide how many casters to place under platform trucks or containers so load ratings align with expected weights in distribution and warehouse environments. The swivel type head lets carts rotate easily when entering aisles or aligning at loading points, which supports frequent direction changes around warehouse equipment. A moldon rubber wheel with 6 inch wheel diameter and 2 inch tread width sets a ride height and footprint that works across platform trucks, flatbed carts, and distribution carts. The brake on the swivel caster lets the wheel be held in place, so distribution carts can stay positioned during loading operations.

Heavy-Duty Caster Performance In Daily Cart Use

Where This Plate Mount Caster Is Applied

This DH Casters plate mounted caster is described for use on platform trucks, flatbed carts, containers, automotive equipment, distribution carts, and warehouse equipment, so it supports a range of rolling equipment in industrial and shop settings. On platform trucks and flatbed carts, the 450 lb capacity per caster allows installers to support substantial combined loads when multiple units are mounted, which suits moving dense items around facilities. For containers and automotive equipment, the 6 inch moldon rubber wheel provides a tread profile suited to frequent relocation of equipment or parts across hard floors. On distribution carts and warehouse equipment, the swivel type head helps workers reposition loads in narrow aisles, while the brake feature lets the wheel be held when picking or staging goods.

Details That Support Smooth Rolling And Control

Full doubleball heat treated raceways in the swivel section provide a bearing path designed to handle the forces of turning under load, so swivel action stays smooth when starting, stopping, and pivoting carts around obstacles. Double-welded legs tie the caster fork to the wheel area with welds on both sides, so side forces from turning or impacts are carried through welded steel structure during regular service. A nut-and-bolt kingpin secures the swivel assembly, which keeps the head components clamped together for consistent swivel behavior across the caster's working life. Zinc plating adds a protective finish on exposed metal parts, so the caster resists typical environmental effects in warehouses and shops as it rolls through everyday tasks. Zerk fittings for grease on the caster let technicians apply lubricant to the bearings, so the doubleball raceways and other bearing points can stay supplied with grease for smoother motion during ongoing use.
