Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the weight capacity rating of the CA 348-5 caster assembly?
A: The CA 348-5 is rated for 1200 lbs per set. This rating assumes proper load distribution across all four casters and typical cart or food service equipment use. Do not exceed this rating as it may cause frame failure.
Q: What mounting method does the CA 348-5 use?
A: The CA 348-5 uses a top plate mounting system with a 3.6 x 2.5 inch plate and 0.31 inch bolt holes. Verify your equipment frame has compatible mounting holes before ordering.
Q: What materials does the CA 348-5 contain?
A: The CA 348-5 features a steel frame with chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance. The 5 inch diameter wheel is polyurethane tread mounted on a polyolefin core for durability and non-marking performance.
Q: Is the CA 348-5 a rigid or swivel caster?
A: The CA 348-5 is a rigid caster, meaning it does not swivel. It rolls only forward and backward. Use rigid casters where directional control is needed, and combine with swivel casters for maneuverability.
Q: What equipment types are compatible with the CA 348-5?
