3" Polypropylene Swivel Caster -460-3

About This Caster - 460-3

Set this 3-inch black polypropylene swivel under a light cart in a wet or wash-down area that gets hosed off.

The hard polypropylene wheel wipes clean and shrugs off moisture and cleaning chemicals, which is why the 400 Series shows up on dollies, stock trucks, and store fixtures that see spills. It is light and economical, with the trade that a hard wheel transmits bumps instead of cushioning them, runs louder than rubber, and black poly can mark a light floor. It steers on a plain bearing for light loads and intermittent moves, sits low at a 3-13/16-inch mount height, bolts on a 2-1/2 by 3-5/8-inch zinc top plate, and holds from -20 to 180°F.

Ideal applications

• 3-inch polypropylene swivel under a light wash-down cart
• Washable hard wheel shrugging off spills on a low top plate
• Plain-bearing swivel for a stock cart on a smooth floor

For a quieter, cushioned roll that is gentler on finished floors, the grey-rubber 493-3TG steps up to a precision ball bearing.

Pairs with: matching 400 Series swivels on the steering corners and rigids on the fixed corners.
