Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications for the CA 72-CA06407-R rigid plate caster?
A: The CA 72-CA06407-R features a 6-inch diameter cast iron wheel with 2.5-inch tread width and roller bearings. It is a rigid plate caster (non-swiveling) with hot-forged steel zinc-plated construction, top plate mounting, and a rated load capacity of 1600 lbs. This caster is designed for heavy-duty industrial cart and material handling equipment.
Q: What is the difference between the CA 72-CA06407-R and CA 72-CA06407-S?
A: Both casters share the same 6-inch cast iron wheel and 1600 lb load capacity. The primary difference is that the CA 72-CA06407-R is a rigid plate caster (does not swivel), while the CA 72-CA06407-S is a swivel plate caster that rotates to allow multi-directional cart movement. Choose rigid casters for fixed-direction applications and swivel casters for applications requiring turning capability.
Q: What material is the CA 72-CA06407-R wheel made from and what makes it suitable for heavy-duty use?
A: The wheel is cast iron, which provides excellent durability, hardness, and resistance to impact and wear. Cast iron wheels maintain their shape under heavy loads and constant use, making them ideal for industrial carts operating on concrete and hard floors. The roller bearing design reduces friction and extends operational life in high-load environments.
Q: What is the load capacity and weight rating for the CA 72-CA06407-R caster?
A: The CA 72-CA06407-R has a rated load capacity of 1600 lbs per caster. For proper cart design, multiply the total cart load capacity by the number of casters to verify adequate load distribution. Exceeding the rated capacity may cause premature bearing failure or wheel damage.
Q: What mounting options does the CA 72-CA06407-R provide?
A: The CA 72-CA06407-R features a top plate mount design. The hot-forged steel zinc-plated mounting plate is bolted to the top of the cart frame. This mounting style is standard for rigid casters on heavy-duty carts and allows for straightforward integration into cart assemblies.
Q: What environmental conditions is the CA 72-CA06407-R designed to operate in?
A: The cast iron construction and zinc-plated steel assembly provide corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial environments. The zinc plating protects against rust and moisture exposure. Cast iron wheels perform best on hard, smooth floors (concrete, epoxy). Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme moisture or corrosive chemical environments without additional protective coatings.
