Value Collection VMR1240516 Rubber Caster Wheel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION VMR1240516 is a rubber caster wheel built for demanding industrial and commercial applications. The wheel features a rubber tread molded directly to a cast iron core at 90 durometer, producing a firm yet resilient rolling surface that resists deformation under heavy static and dynamic loads. A roller bearing supports the wheel hub, reducing rotational friction and extending service life under continuous use. At 17.6 pounds, this is a heavy-duty component suited for equipment carts, industrial dollies, material handling rigs, and floor-mounted machinery bases where durability and load capacity are the priority.

This caster wheel is typically installed on heavy equipment in manufacturing facilities, warehouses, maintenance shops, and similar industrial environments. The 90 durometer rubber compound provides enough hardness to handle rough concrete and sealed floors without excessive marking or rapid wear. The cast iron core construction makes it appropriate for high-load applications where a plastic or light-alloy hub would be inadequate. Maintenance technicians and millwrights commonly source this type of wheel as a direct replacement on aging carts and equipment frames.

Key Features

• Rubber tread molded directly to cast iron core for a secure, integrated bond
• 90 durometer rubber compound balances hardness and floor protection
• Roller bearing hub reduces friction and supports sustained rolling loads
• Heavy construction at 17.6 pounds indicates substantial load-bearing capacity
• Sold individually, allowing single-unit replacement without buying a set

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement caster wheel for heavy-duty industrial carts, equipment bases, and material handling equipment requiring a rubber roller bearing wheel with a cast iron core.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or millwrights. Before replacing a caster wheel, relieve the equipment of any load and secure the frame so it cannot shift or tip during service. Use appropriately rated fasteners and verify that the wheel bore, axle diameter, and mounting plate configuration match the existing hardware before installation. Inspect the axle and mounting bracket for wear or damage and replace as needed before fitting the new wheel.
