3.5 x 2.5 Swivel Plate Caster for Industrial Equipment

Swivel plate casters are available in a wide range of wheel materials including molded rubber, polyurethane, phenolic, steel, pneumatic, cast iron, and thermoplastic. Each material suits different environments — polyurethane for smooth floors with moderate loads, phenolic for high temperatures, and stainless steel for corrosive or wet washdown environments such as food processing facilities.

Load capacity varies depending on wheel material, bearing type, and caster construction. Heavy-duty industrial swivel plate casters can support several hundred to several thousand pounds per caster. For accurate load ratings, it is important to specify the application, wheel material, and mounting requirements. Contact Humphries Casters at 1-800-733-4758 for a precise recommendation.

Yes, specific swivel plate casters are engineered for high-temperature environments. Phenolic wheels and stainless steel constructions are commonly rated for elevated temperatures, making them suitable for bakery ovens, industrial furnaces, and other heat-intensive applications. Always verify the temperature rating of the specific caster model before installation.

Yes, stainless steel swivel casters are available with stainless steel bearings and non-rusting construction ideal for food processing plants, meat packaging facilities, hospitals, laboratories, and pharmaceutical environments. They withstand frequent washdowns, corrosive chemicals, and moisture exposure, and are suitable for use near MRI equipment due to their non-magnetic properties.

Swivel plate casters are available with several brake configurations including side pedal brakes, total lock brakes (locking both wheel and swivel simultaneously), and trend lock mechanisms. Total lock brakes are especially recommended for medical and hospital equipment where patient safety requires complete immobilization. Side brakes suit general industrial and material handling carts.
