DH Caster 5" Plate Mount Swivel Caster, Thermoplastic, With Brake, 350 lb, C-MHD5TPSB

DH Casters Swivel Caster For Heavy Cart Use

DH Casters swivel caster with 5 inch thermoplastic wheel with brake, plate mount 350lb capacity - C-MHD5TPSB is a plate mounted caster designed for demanding cart and equipment movement. The caster type is swivel, which lets platforms turn and maneuver in tight aisles. A wheel diameter of 5 inches helps roll over small floor gaps while keeping overall cart height manageable. The 2 inch tread width spreads the load, supporting stability when the caster is carrying up to its 350 lb load capacity. The wheel type is gray TPR, so the tread is designed as a non-marking wheel that protects floors while carts move through finished spaces. A plate mount design ties the caster solidly to the cart base, building a rigid connection that helps equipment track predictably during use.

Key Caster Details That Support Daily Work

• The caster is designed above industry standards, which supports demanding service where carts and equipment see frequent movement under load.
• Full doubleball heat treated raceways in the swivel section carry turning forces smoothly, which helps the caster track consistently when changing direction with weight on it.
• Double-welded legs connect the wheel to the mounting section, which strengthens the yoke area that carries impacts as the caster rolls over joints and debris.
• The nut-and-bolt kingpin secures the swivel assembly, which allows service to the pivot area and supports long-term swivel performance under heavier loads.
• Zinc plating protects exposed metal surfaces, which helps the caster resist corrosion in typical indoor commercial environments where moisture or cleaners may contact the hardware.
• Zerk fittings for grease service all bearings, which supports smoother rolling and swiveling over time by allowing lubrication directly into the moving parts.

Plate Mount Swivel Caster Installation Details

The mounting type is plate, with a plate size of 3-15/16 inches by 4-1/2 inches, which gives a broad footprint for spreading load into the cart frame. This plate mount format suits flat mounting surfaces on platform trucks, flatbed carts, containers, automotive equipment, distribution carts, and warehouse equipment. The swivel type caster allows installation at corners where rotation is needed for steering or maneuvering. A brake on the wheel lets the user hold the wheel stationary, which helps keep equipment in place when loading or unloading on level surfaces. Combined with the 2 inch tread width and 5 inch diameter, the overall geometry supports predictable installation height and rolling behavior across matching casters on the same cart.

Using This 350 lb Caster In Working Environments

Where This 5 Inch Plate Mount Caster Fits

The applications listed for this caster are platform trucks, flatbed carts, containers, automotive equipment, distribution carts, and warehouse equipment. On platform trucks and flatbed carts, the 350 lb load capacity per caster supports moving substantial loads while the gray TPR non-marking wheel helps protect finished floors in warehouses or shops. On containers and automotive equipment, the 5 inch wheel diameter and 2 inch tread width balance load-carrying with maneuverability in service bays or parts rooms. Distribution carts benefit from the swivel caster type, which lets operators pivot fully loaded carts down narrow aisles. Warehouse equipment that uses plate mounted casters can rely on the 3-15/16 inch by 4-1/2 inch plate size to distribute forces into welded frames or structural members.

Details That Support Repeatable Cart Performance

The caster is described as designed above industry standards, which supports consistent behavior across a fleet of carts that see frequent daily use. Full doubleball heat treated raceways in the swivel section carry radial and thrust loads smoothly, which helps the caster rotate without binding when turned under its 350 lb load capacity. Double-welded legs form a rigid fork around the 5 inch gray TPR wheel, which resists deformation at the yoke when rolling over expansion joints or small debris. The nut-and-bolt kingpin ties the swivel together in a serviceable way, which supports long-term use by allowing maintenance of the swivel connection. Zinc plating on the metal components protects against corrosion from indoor warehouse or shop environments, helping the swivel and wheel hardware stay free-moving. Zerk fittings for grease supply lubrication points for all bearings, which supports smoother rolling and easier swiveling during repeated starts, stops, and turns. The non-marking gray TPR wheel protects floors while the brake provides holding capability, which together support clean, controlled operation in finished spaces where both appearance and stability matter.
