Debris-Resistant Long-Swivel-Life NSF-Listed Sanitary Plate Caster: 375 lb, Firm

Debris-resistant long-swivel-life light-duty NSF-listed sanitary plate casters have a dust cap that stops debris from entering the casters' swivel raceways and making it difficult for the caster to swivel. They also have double ball swivel bearings and swivel more smoothly than economy light-duty NSF-listed sanitary plate casters. These casters are suitable for use on carts, prep tables, racks, and other equipment used in food-service areas, food-manufacturing facilities, and other areas where the equipment will be transporting relatively light loads over smooth, flat surfaces. Sometimes known as institutional plate casters, these light-duty plate casters have a zinc-plated or nickel-plated steel frame.

NSF-listed sanitary plate casters are built to satisfy the National Sanitation Foundation's (NSF) rigorous testing requirements for casters that are used in environments where they will be exposed to frequent washdowns, oils, or chemicals. They are suitable for use in environments where sanitary conditions must be maintained. These casters have a mounting plate that installs onto the bottom of carts, prep tables, food-service equipment, racks, and similar items. They 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.
