A top plate caster consists of a wheel, an axle, and a plate. The plate is typically the component that holds the axle and the wheel in place. The plate is usually square or rectangular and has screw holes in each corner. These industrial casters can be mounted directly on the item that it’s designed to add mobility to, via screws or bolts. Another mounting choice is to have the caster permanently welded for more long term, durable jobs.
The Benefit of Industrial Plate Casters
The primary benefit of a plate model caster is stability. The plate usually forms part of the wheel housing, and so the plate has a larger surface area than a threaded stem type of caster. These industrial casters are extremely stable and will provide excellent mobility for your items. Further, when affixed by screws, the effort of the caster is supported across four separate points.
Many industrial duty casters use face contact brakes, and these are the best in the industry. These brakes are welded onto the frame of the casters and provide the security of knowing the wheels will not move until needed. Trusted companies, such as Access Casters Inc., have many models of light, medium, and heavy-duty casters on rubber, cast iron, or steel wheels.
