Standard Plate Caster Kit, Rigid, Swivel, Steel, 5000 lb, 8" Wheel Dia., PK 4

Standard plate caster kits contain parts for replacing worn or damaged casters on equipment or adding casters to a new piece of equipment to allow it to roll or be repositioned. The kits include two swivel plate casters and two rigid plate casters that can be used together to allow the equipment to both maneuver around curves and obstacles and maintain a straight course while rolling. Each kit's load rating is the sum of the load ratings for all the casters in the kit. For example, if each caster in the kit has a load rating of 200 lbs. and there are four casters in the kit, then the load rating for the kit will be 800 lbs.

Standard plate casters have kingpins that securely join the casters' mounting plates to their frames. They are used in nearly every industry and are the most common type of caster used for general purpose applications. The casters' mounting plates install onto the bottom of machinery, carts, or other equipment, and the casters allow the equipment to roll to reduce effort when moving or repositioning it. These casters are available in swivel and rigid versions. The swivel casters can rotate 360°, allowing equipment to change directions while rolling. The rigid casters roll in a straight line. Two rigid plate casters will often be paired with two swivel casters to allow the equipment to both maneuver around curves and obstacles and maintain a straight course while rolling.
