Pro-source PRO-FC0821 Rigid Plate Caster 8 in 500 Lb

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PRO-FC0821 is a rigid plate-mount caster wheel built for heavy-duty mobile equipment applications. The wheel assembly features an 8-inch diameter rubber-on-steel wheel, 2 inches wide, mounted in a steel frame with a back-mounted top plate configuration. Overall assembly height is 9.25 inches. Rated at 500 lb load capacity, this caster is suited for carts, shop equipment, and industrial platforms that require a fixed-direction wheel without a swivel or brake. The rugged steel frame and hard rubber-on-steel wheel construction are designed to handle repeated loading on warehouse and shop floors. Weight is 7.49 pounds per unit.

This rigid caster is intended for use on shop carts, equipment stands, material handling carts, and similar stationary-wheel positions where directional control is handled by swivel casters elsewhere on the platform. The plate-mount design attaches directly to the underside of a frame or base. No brake or locking mechanism is included, making it appropriate for fixed-position legs on a four-caster setup where two or more opposing casters are rigid. Sold individually.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or shop personnel using standard hand tools to fasten the top plate to the equipment frame. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and that fastener hardware matches the plate hole pattern and load requirements. Confirm total caster load ratings across all wheels exceed the maximum loaded weight of the platform before placing in service. No brake is present on this unit — pair with locking or brake casters as needed for stationary applications.
