DH Caster 6" Plate Mount Swivel Caster, Thermoplastic, With Brake, 425 lb, C-MHD6TPSB

DH Casters Swivel Caster For Heavy Rolling Loads

DH Casters swivel caster uses a gray TPR donut wheel and plate mount to support up to 425 lb, giving platform trucks and carts a compact caster that carries substantial weight without changing the overall footprint of the equipment. The 6 inch wheel diameter and 2 inch tread width create a stable rolling surface, so loads move smoothly over typical warehouse and shop floors. A built-in brake works with the swivel design to hold the wheel in place when needed, which helps keep carts from shifting during loading or unloading. Zinc plating protects the caster components during regular use, so the caster keeps working in busy environments. Double-ball heat treated raceways in the swivel section are designed above industry standards to keep the swivel action consistent, which supports predictable maneuvering in tight aisles.

Key DH Casters Caster Details For Daily Use

• The 6 inch diameter, 2 inch wide gray TPR donut wheel provides a broad, non-marking contact area, which helps carts move across floors without leaving marks during repeated trips.
• A 3-15/16 inch by 4-1/2 inch plate mount creates a defined mounting footprint, which helps installers align the caster easily on platform trucks, flatbed carts, and similar equipment.
• The 425 lb load capacity allows a single caster to carry substantial weight, which helps planners size caster sets appropriately for platform trucks, containers, and warehouse equipment.
• Full double-ball heat treated raceways in the swivel design distribute turning loads, which helps the caster swivel smoothly under weight for easier positioning.
• Double-welded legs connect the wheel to the plate, which helps the caster handle side loads that occur when carts are pushed, pulled, or turned repeatedly.
• Zinc plating on the caster components resists wear in normal environments, which helps maintain appearance and function on automotive, distribution, and warehouse carts.

Plate Mount Swivel Caster Fit And Mounting Points

This plate mount swivel caster uses a 3-15/16 inch by 4-1/2 inch mounting plate, giving installers a clear footprint to work with on platform trucks and carts. The plate mount configuration ties the 6 inch by 2 inch wheel directly into the deck, which helps spread rolling and impact loads into the equipment frame. The swivel type design lets the wheel rotate under the plate, so carts can track straight or turn as needed in aisles and loading areas. The gray TPR wheel construction keeps the tread non-marking, which is useful when mounting to equipment used on finished or coated floors. The brake is integrated into the caster assembly, so the same mounting pattern provides both rolling and holding functions.

Using This Plate Mount Caster In Work Environments

Where This Gray TPR Donut Wheel Caster Fits

This DH Casters plate mount swivel caster is specified for platform trucks, flatbed carts, containers, automotive equipment, distribution carts, and warehouse equipment, so it fits directly into typical material-handling setups. The 6 inch diameter wheel gives enough height to roll over minor floor transitions found between work areas, helping loaded carts travel from staging to production spaces. With a 2 inch tread width and gray TPR composition, the wheel contacts the floor with a relatively wide, non-marking surface, supporting predictable rolling on concrete or similar hard floors. The rated 425 lb load capacity lets users match two or four casters to the expected load on a cart, helping maintain stability during loading, movement, and unloading. The caster is a swivel type, so the wheel can rotate around the vertical axis, which supports steering and positioning in aisles and between equipment.

Design Details That Support Consistent Caster Performance

The double-ball heat treated raceways in the swivel section are designed above industry standards, so the turning elements handle repeated movement under load and support smooth swivel action over time. Double-welded legs link the mounting plate to the wheel fork, helping the assembly resist twisting forces when carts are turned or pushed sideways. A nut-and-bolt kingpin ties the swivel components together, which helps maintain alignment of the raceways and keeps the swivel motion consistent. Zinc plating covers the metal components, providing a protective layer that supports regular use in distribution and warehouse environments. Zerk fittings for grease are integrated into the caster, allowing lubrication of the bearings so the wheel and swivel can keep rolling smoothly under frequent starts, stops, and direction changes. The gray TPR donut wheel design balances load support with floor protection, helping operations move goods while maintaining floor appearance.
