Heavy-Duty Casters
RWM’s 53 Series casters feature thicker legs and a 3/4” diameter axle that improves on our very popular 52 Series. This caster is designed to stand up to most heavy-duty industrial caster applications and is proudly Made in the U.S.A. If you don’t see what you want, let our engineering team custom design a caster for your individual application.
Features of the 53 Series Caster
The 53 Series caster is available in 5”, 8”, and 10” diameters with a 2-1/2” wheel width. This gives the finished caster an overall height of 7-1/8” to 12-1/16”. Depending on the wheel diameter and wheel composition, each wheel has a capacity of between 540 lbs. and 1800 lbs. This gives you considerable flexibility to design a caster ideally suited for your needs and operations.
The 53 Series Caster can be paired with the following wheel types:
- Cast Iron
- Rubber on Iron
- V-Groove Iron
- Durastan
- Urethane on Iron
- Forged Steel
- GT
As with any caster, customization is key, and at RWM, we make it easy to add additional features to improve the wheel’s performance. For example, the 53 Series caster can be customized to include cam wheel brakes, swivel locks, high or low-temperature lubrication, sealed swivel raceways, and wheel seals.
