The Kleton plate caster carries a 5 in (127 mm) polyolefin wheel with a 1-1/4 in tread on a steel rig.

The 2-5/8 X 3-3/4 in plate has 5/16 in bolt holes on a 2-3/4 X 1-3/4 in spacing, and the overall height is 6-1/8 in. The wheel is non-marking, steam cleanable, offers high impact strength and resists most oils, chemicals, grease and acids. It rolls on concrete, brick, carpet and steel.

Which floors can it be used on?

Suggestions for this Kleton plate caster

For the maintenance worker replacing the casters on an industrial kitchen cart, plan for a Pioneer black surveyor vest (V6692N) with 16 pockets, ultra-thin high-visibility TenActiv gloves (GS21TXUGFN) to tighten the plate bolts, Cee-Tec economy safety glasses (YA12E93102) with grey lenses, a 3M Optime 95 behind-the-head earmuff (OPH6B) near noisy appliances and Pioneer orange waterproof overalls (VP5627) for steam cleaning.

To move loads without mounting casters, see the ready-to-roll Kleton platform truck (CHAENT) or Kleton shelf cart (CHENT2). For other replacement needs, the Kleton spring-loaded swivel caster (EMA90) is made for rolling step stands and the Rubbermaid quiet caster (MP381) for WaveBrake mop buckets. During the repair, flag the out-of-service equipment with a red and white striped adhesive tape (ECT750R).
