Trusted by manufacturers for decades, this USA-made 6" × 2" rigid phenolic caster is built on a quality Albion rig and combines heavy-duty construction, proven industrial performance, and exceptional value in a dependable 1,200 lb capacity caster. Featuring a premium USA-made phenolic wheel with an industrial roller bearing, greaseable axle, heavy-duty 1/4" steel construction, RoHS-compliant zinc plating for corrosion resistance, and a 3-year warranty, it's designed to deliver years of reliable service in demanding industrial environments. The hard phenolic wheel resists flat spotting during prolonged standing loads while helping protect concrete and finished floors better than steel wheels. Its proven combination of strength, durability, and economy has made phenolic one of the most trusted wheel materials in manufacturing, warehousing, fabrication, and maintenance applications for decades.
Benefits of a Rigid Caster
Rigid casters help keep carts and equipment tracking smoothly through long aisles, production lines, and repetitive travel paths. Unlike swivel casters, rigid casters maintain a fixed direction of travel, helping prevent carts from drifting or wandering during movement. That's why they're commonly paired with swivel or swivel-with-brake casters on the opposite end of carts and equipment—providing an ideal balance of straight-line tracking, controlled steering, and easy maneuverability.
Why Choose a Phenolic Wheel?
Phenolic wheels have been a trusted industrial standard for decades because they provide exceptional strength, durability, and value. This premium USA-made phenolic resin wheel is reinforced with macerated fabric for excellent load capacity, resistance to hard impacts and industrial chemicals, and quieter operation than steel or aluminum wheels while helping protect concrete and finished floors. Rated for temperatures from -45°F to +250°F with a Rockwell hardness of 102E, phenolic wheels perform best on smooth, dry floors and are not recommended for prolonged exposure to standing water.
