Amko PL-CASTER-LOCKING Locking Caster Pl Pipe Rack 3 Inch

Product Description

The AMKO DISPLAYS LLC PL-CASTER-LOCKING is a locking swivel caster designed to convert stationary PL-style pipe rack systems into mobile units. Measuring 3 inches in diameter, this caster mounts to the base of compatible PL pipe racks and provides secure, lockable mobility for repositioning racks in shop, warehouse, or service bay environments. The locking mechanism engages to hold the rack firmly in place once positioned, preventing unintended movement during loading or unloading. At 1 pound per unit, it adds minimal weight to the overall rack assembly. Installation is straightforward for any tradesperson or facilities technician familiar with basic rack hardware.

This caster is intended for use with PL-style pipe rack systems commonly found in HVAC supply houses, plumbing distributors, and trade shops that store pipe stock or conduit. It is sold individually and is suited for both light commercial and shop environments where rack mobility is needed for floor layout flexibility or consolidating inventory during off-hours.

Key Features

• Locking swivel design keeps rack stationary once positioned
• 3-inch diameter wheel provides stable, low-profile mobility
• Silver finish compatible with standard PL pipe rack aesthetics
• Lightweight at 1 pound, minimizes added load to rack base

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by facilities technicians or trade shop personnel without specialized tools in most cases. Before installing or swapping casters, ensure the pipe rack is emptied of stock and placed on a stable, level surface to prevent tipping. Engage the locking mechanism after final positioning to prevent rack movement during use. Follow any applicable OSHA material storage guidelines for loaded rack stability.
