8" x 3" Ductile Steel Wheel Rigid Caster - Part# P7008301112
Ductile steel has similar capacities, impact strength, and durability when compared to forged steel wheels, but is more economically priced. Ductile steel is a combination of alloys that give it a much higher weight capacity than standard cast iron wheels, but not quite the capacity and durability of forged steel wheels.
While ductile steel is very resilient, it is tough on floors and could lead to floor damage. For heavy duty floor protective wheels, be sure to check out our polyurethane wheels.
*Please note temperature ratings are dependent upon the bearing selected. Unless noted otherwise in the options, bearings with have a 180°F temperature rating.
*Casters ordered with the extra heavy duty tapered bearings, weld on swivel lock, or toe guards will have a 3-6 business day lead time to ship. All other options usually ship in 24-48 hours.

Caster Options:
Bearings: For a description and picture of each bearing type -
Face Contact Brake: Designed for heavy duty casters, this brake can be activated be either foot or hand. The brake pad presses on the face of the wheel to prevent the wheel from spinning.
Weld Plate / Shim: This heavy duty caster can be ordered with an additional weld plate. This allows you to weld the additional plate to the equipment and then bolt the caster on. If you ever need to remove or replace the caster it is much easier than cutting off the old caster and then welding the new caster back on. The plate can also be used to add additional height to the caster. The plate is .350" thick and is zinc plated. The dimensions match the picture of the drawing and can also be found in the specifications section.
4-Position Swivel Lock: This allows you to turn a swivel caster into a rigid caster. When the pin is released into one of the 4 slots located 90 degrees apart, it locks the swivel section in place. Both a welded on option and a field installable bolt on option are available.
Toe Guard: This option is designed to help prevent toes and other objects from being rolled over by the heavy duty caster.
