8" x 2" Cast Iron Wheel w/ Roller Bearing - 41EE82-01

About This Wheel - 41EE82-01

Reach for this 8-inch cast iron wheel for heavy transport down a hot line, the tall high-heat wheel that pulls a loaded cart over a rough furnace-aisle floor with the least effort while holding to 500°F.

Long hauls past furnaces ask for both heat resistance and diameter: the wheel has to ignore sustained 500°F radiant heat and still roll a heavy load over scale, expansion joints, and broken concrete without bogging down. Solid cast iron gives the heat and abrasion resistance, and the 8-inch diameter gives the roll, so a charge cart or a hot-product transfer keeps moving on a route that destroys elastomer and polyolefin wheels alike. The roller bearing carries the heavy load through the slow pull. The wheel is heavy and loud and marks the floor.

Ideal applications

• Heavy hot-line transfer past furnaces, to 500°F
• Loaded charge cart over scale and furnace-aisle joints
• Long high-heat haul needing a tall iron wheel

Skip cast iron if the heat is moderate and the floor is finished; a HI-TECH polyurethane wheel rolls non-marking under its temperature limit.

Pairs with: a matching 8-inch by 2-inch caster fork to build a swivel or rigid caster, from the Caster Hardware collection.

Wrong fit? Finished floors, or maximum load? See the HI-TECH 41JC62-03 and the wide-tread 50EE83-02.
