  • Nylon: Injected nylon offers great strength, shock absorption and resistance to corrosion. Nylon casters don't scratch or rust and their appearance doesn't deteriorate with age.

    Bright Zinc Plating: A blue zinc-chromate plating on steel casters offers a long lasting, bright and attractive finish.

    Yellow Zinc Plating: Yellow zinc plating is an additional bath over the standard blue zinc-chromate. It offers additional resistance to corrosion, without adding significantly to the expense.

    Powder Coating: Many casters in this catalog can be powder coated, allowing the caster to be color matched to your specifications. Powder coating is an inert, strong protective finish that resists scratching and corrosion.

    Chrome Plating: Chrome plated steel casters offer increased resistance to corrosion over the zinc plating...with a much shinier finish.

  • Stainless Steel: Stainless steel offers the greatest resistance to corrosion of all the metals used to produce casters. All stainless casters in this catalog are made of Type 304 polished-stainless steel, giving a very attractive appearance. Many stainless steel casters in this catalog are non-magnetic and ideal for use in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) applications.

Options

Thread Guards: Thread guards are discs between the wheel and caster fork that prevent thread, string, hair and other debris from entering and clogging the wheel bearing. Thread guards enable the wheel to revolve freely, while prolonging the life of the tire tread and wheel bearings. Thread guards are standard on many casters shown in this catalog, and can be special ordered on other casters.
