5"x 2" Rigid Caster with Ductile Round Iron Tread Wheel, Albion 62 Series - 62FR05201R

About This Caster - 62FR05201R

Set this 5-inch 62 Series rigid on the back corners of a heavy hot cart that gets jockeyed in tight bays, the ductile iron round-tread caster whose forged wheel takes the impact while the crowned tread cuts the scrub a flat tread fights.

Grey cast iron cracks on a hard hit and a flat iron tread scrubs hard in a turn; the 62 Series ductile iron wheel is forged to take the shock without cracking and rolls through heat to 800°F, and the round crowned tread rides on a narrow contact that turns easier. The roller bearing carries the dead weight at a walk, the rigid fork holds the line, and the 6-1/4 by 4-1/2 top plate bolts to a flat deck. Industrial-duty.

Ideal applications

• Back corners of heavy hot carts jockeyed in tight bays
• Forged wheel that resists cracking on hard hits
• Round tread that cuts turn scrub to 800°F

Skip the ductile iron wheel if the floor is finished or noise matters; it marks the floor and runs loud, so a mold-on rubber 62MR05201R rides quiet on an iron core.

Pairs with: the 62FR05201S swivel up front for a maneuverable hot cart.

Wrong fit? Need a flat tread, or a quieter wheel? See the flat-tread 62FM05201R and the mold-on rubber 62MR05201R.
