5"x2" Polyurethane Rigid Caster - 16EG05201R

About This Caster - 16EG05201R

Set this 5-inch 16 Series rigid on the back corners of a heavier cart that runs a clean floor, the blue polyurethane caster that carries more than rubber and tracks straight without scuffing the surface.

Mold-on rubber sets flat under a heavy load and carries less; the 16 Series EG polyurethane tread on a polypropylene core carries a higher load without flat-spotting and stays non-marking and quiet, while the rigid fork holds the cart on a straight line behind front swivels. The roller bearing carries the load at a walk, the 5-inch diameter clears a thicker seam than a 4-inch, and the 4 by 4-1/2 top plate bolts to a flat deck. USA-made for fast shipping.

Ideal applications

• Back corners of heavier carts on clean floors
• Loads that flat-spot a rubber tread, sealed concrete
• Straight tracking without scuffing the surface

Skip the polyurethane wheel if the floor runs near heat over 180°F or carries constant point loads; a cast iron 16CA05201R takes the heat where polyurethane gives.

Pairs with: the 16EG05201S swivel up front for a steer-and-track cart.
