This 4" x 2" flat tread performance rubber heavy-duty swivel caster provides smooth and quiet operation. The wheel is not like cheaper thermoplastic wheels, as it will actually reject sharp debris, including: metal shavings, nails, and screws – plus it provides some shock absorption and quieter rolling (compared to harder thermoplastic rubber wheels). They are safe to use on all floors. Our 44 Series casters are our most popular 2-inch wide industrial mobility solution. 44 Series caster rigs are manufactured in the United States, for expedited shipping and increased quality assurance. Many wheel options are also made in the US. Zinc plating provides an attractive finish which increases corrosion resistance and provides longer caster life.
