DH Casters Rigid Caster For Heavy Loads
DH Casters rigid caster with 6 inch wheel and plate mount is built as a drop forged heavy duty caster using AISI 1045 hot forged steel, so it handles impact on demanding shop floors while still rolling smoothly under normal load conditions. The 1600 lb load capacity supports cargo containers, factory assembly tables, and heavy machinery so one caster can carry substantial weight in these applications. A rigid type frame keeps the wheel tracking straight, which helps when equipment needs to move in a defined line instead of swiveling around tight corners. The phenolic wheel is non-marking, so it moves loads without leaving marks on suitable floors in these environments. This caster belongs to the plate mount product class, giving it a broad mounting surface that spreads weight into the structure. DH Casters branding and the C-SHD625PNR part number give a consistent identifier for repeat ordering.
Key Heavy Duty Caster Details For Projects
- The AISI 1045 hot forged steel construction provides impact resistance, which matters when casters see repeated shocks under heavy machinery or cargo containers during daily operation.
- The 1600 lb load capacity per caster supports substantial loads, allowing installers to plan support for heavy machinery or assembly tables using fewer positions when conditions and layouts allow.
- The 6 inch wheel diameter and 2-1/2 inch tread width give the phenolic wheel a solid footprint, helping it roll smoothly while distributing weight across a defined contact area on suitable floors.
- The plate mount with a 4-1/2 inch by 6-1/4 inch top plate offers a wide mounting interface, helping spread load forces into the equipment base for a stable connection.
- The full double ball bearing raceway supports smooth rolling of the wheel assembly, which helps reduce effort when moving heavy loads along straight runs in industrial settings.
- The zinc plated finish on the drop forged steel components provides a protective surface, helping the caster maintain its function and appearance during normal indoor industrial use.
Plate Mount Caster Setup And Fit Details
This plate mounted caster uses a 3/8 inch thick top plate sized 4-1/2 inch by 6-1/4 inch, giving installers a clear footprint for laying out bolt patterns on cargo containers, factory assembly tables, or machinery bases. The 5/16 inch welded legs tie the wheel housing back to the plate, providing a rigid structure that transfers load from the 6 inch phenolic wheel into the mounting surface. A nut and bolt kingpin holds the assembly together, which supports the double ball bearing raceway so the wheel can roll smoothly under rated loads. The 3/4 inch axle through the wheel hub supports the 2-1/2 inch tread width phenolic wheel, aligning the wheel to carry heavy loads while keeping the non-marking tread centered under the frame.
Using This Rigid Caster In Shop And Plant Work
Where This Heavy Duty Caster Fits Best
This drop forged heavy duty caster is designed for applications such as cargo containers, factory assembly tables, and heavy machinery, so it fits naturally into shop and plant layouts where loads are concentrated and movement paths are defined. The rigid type configuration holds the 6 inch phenolic wheel in a fixed orientation, which works well for straight-line moves along aisles or between workstations without the need for swiveling. The plate mount class with a 4-1/2 inch by 6-1/4 inch, 3/8 inch thick top plate connects firmly to equipment frames or container bases, helping transfer the 1600 lb per caster capacity into the structure. In factory assembly tables, the non-marking phenolic wheel lets the table move across suitable floors while helping protect surface appearance during routine repositioning.
Details That Support Consistent Rolling Performance
The AISI 1045 hot forged steel construction provides impact resistance to the caster frame, which helps the legs and plate handle shocks that occur when heavy machinery or cargo containers start and stop rolling. The full double ball bearing raceway is built into the caster, supporting the wheel for smoother rolling, which can reduce strain when pushing equipment under load. A zinc plated finish covers the forged steel components, helping the caster maintain its surface condition in typical indoor industrial environments. The non-marking phenolic wheel with 2-1/2 inch tread width supports heavy loads while reducing marking on appropriate floors, which matters when moving heavy machinery or factory assembly tables through finished production areas. The 3/4 inch axle holds the 6 inch wheel securely in the yoke, supporting the rated 1600 lb capacity while maintaining wheel alignment under service.
Common Questions About This DH Casters Model
What type of wheel does the C-SHD625PNR caster use?
The C-SHD625PNR caster uses a phenolic wheel, which carries heavy loads while providing a non-marking tread for use on suitable shop or plant floors.
How much load can this DH Casters rigid caster handle?
This DH Casters rigid caster has a 1600 lb load capacity, so each caster can support substantial weight on cargo containers, factory assembly tables, or heavy machinery bases.
What is the wheel size on this plate mount caster?
The caster wheel diameter is 6 inches with a 2-1/2 inch tread width, giving a sizable rolling surface for moving heavy loads across appropriate floors.
What mounting style and plate size does this caster use?
The caster is a plate mount design with a 4-1/2 inch by 6-1/4 inch top plate, providing a broad interface for fastening to equipment frames or bases.
Where is this rigid caster commonly applied?
This rigid caster is listed for cargo containers, factory assembly tables, and heavy machinery, so it fits industrial and shop environments handling concentrated loads.
How does the drop forged construction help in use?
The drop forged heavy duty design using AISI 1045 hot forged steel improves impact resistance, which supports durability when heavy loads move or stop abruptly.
Select This Caster For Heavy Industrial Mobility
The 1600 lb plate mount caster from DH Casters combines AISI 1045 hot forged steel, a 6 inch non-marking phenolic wheel, and a rigid frame to move heavy machinery, cargo containers, and factory assembly tables along planned routes. The 4-1/2 inch by 6-1/4 inch, 3/8 inch thick top plate and 5/16 inch welded legs form a solid structure that transfers working loads into the equipment base. By using the C-SHD625PNR caster where a fixed-direction wheel is preferred, installers can support industrial mobility needs while matching the caster design to demanding shop or plant applications.
