Value Collection GMC-SH-0050 Swivel Top Plate Caster

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION GMC-SH-0050 is a swivel top plate caster built for general-purpose industrial and commercial material handling applications. It mounts to equipment via a fixed top plate and swivels 360 degrees to allow directional changes under load. The wheel is made from phenolic, a hard resin compound that rolls well on smooth and semi-smooth concrete or warehouse floors. Key specs include a 5-inch wheel diameter, 2-inch wheel width, and a 1,000-pound load capacity. The roller bearing provides smooth, consistent rolling motion under sustained loads. Zinc finish on the stamp-formed construction resists corrosion in light-duty wet or humid environments. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals in industrial, commercial, and institutional settings typically install and service this type of caster.

This caster is suited for use on carts, workbenches, equipment bases, shelving units, and fabricated rolling platforms where a swivel wheel with a rigid top-plate mount is required. The 4-inch by 4.5-inch plate footprint accommodates standard bolt patterns used on light to medium industrial equipment. With a 6.5-inch overall height, it provides a consistent ride height when used in matched sets on flat mobile equipment. Applications are classified as general purpose, making this caster appropriate for dry to mildly damp indoor floor surfaces across manufacturing, warehousing, and facility maintenance operations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance mechanics or fabricators. Power down and de-energize any motorized equipment before mounting or replacing casters. Fasten the top plate securely using appropriately rated fasteners through all plate holes to ensure even load distribution across the mount. Inspect the swivel raceway and bearing for damage before placing the assembly into service.
