Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CA 11-CI-623-S caster assembly?
A: The CA 11-CI-623-S is a swivel caster assembly with a 6 inch cast iron wheel for 11 Series stocking carts. It provides durable, heavy-duty performance for industrial material handling applications.
Q: What is the difference between CA 11-CI-623-S and CA 11-CI-623-3-S?
A: Both are 6 inch cast iron swivel casters for 11 Series carts. The numeric suffix may indicate bearing type, mounting configuration, or load rating. Confirm your exact cart model with the equipment serial range before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
Q: Can the CA 11-CI-623-S be used on wet or outdoor concrete?
A: Yes, cast iron wheels perform well on wet and outdoor concrete. Cast iron does not absorb moisture and resists rust. However, cast iron provides minimal traction on smooth or slippery surfaces compared to polyurethane wheels.
Q: What load capacity should I verify for the CA 11-CI-623-S?
A: Confirm the total load rating of your 11 Series cart and divide by the number of casters. Each caster must support its portion of the total load. Operating above the rated capacity damages the wheel, bearing, and cart frame.
Q: How often should the CA 11-CI-623-S be serviced?
A: Inspect swivel casters monthly in standard use or weekly in heavy-duty use. Check for cracks, noise, binding, or loose fasteners. Lubricate the swivel pivot as recommended by equipment manufacturer. Replace if damage is found.
Q: What is the typical replacement interval for the CA 11-CI-623-S?
A: A cast iron swivel caster typically functions for 5 to 8 years depending on load, floor surface, and maintenance. High-impact environments or continuous operation may shorten lifespan. Replace when the wheel cracks, the swivel stiffens, or performance deteriorates.
