LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Unplug equipment before cleaning. Remove debris and loose parts. Apply a mild detergent solution with a soft cloth and scrub casters, wheels, and mounting plates. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly to prevent corrosion. Inspect bearings and lubricate per manufacturer specs. Clean vents and adjacent surfaces to remove grease and food residues that harbor bacteria. Record cleaning dates to meet CSA and health inspection requirements.#@@#Additional Info#@#Metro 5MC 5" swivel caster supports 2.7 pounds for mobile shelving and carts, with a steel fork, precision bearings, and ball-bearing race for smooth rotation and reliable handling in foodservice.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#

#@@# Swivel Mechanism#@#
Engineered swivel bearings provide smooth rotation and immediate directional control, reducing strain during repositioning. Bearings resist binding and promote continuous 360-degree motion, minimizing operator effort during frequent maneuvering.
#@@# Load Capacity#@#
Rated to support substantial static loads relative to its footprint, the caster sustains heavy racks and carts without deformation. Solid wheel construction distributes weight evenly to preserve floor finish and reduce point loading.
#@@# Wheel Diameter#@#
At five inches, the wheel balances rollability and clearance for thresholds, ramps, and uneven surfaces. The larger effective diameter lowers rolling resistance, enabling operators to move loaded units with less applied force.
#@@# Construction Materials#@#
Manufacturers specify durable materials that resist corrosion and wear in demanding environments. Metal components meet commercial standards and perform under repeated cleaning cycles and exposure to humidity.
#@@# Mounting Interface#@#
The swivel caster installs to standard mounting plates used on commercial shelving and carts, ensuring compatibility with common equipment. Secure attachment minimizes wobble and preserves alignment under dynamic loads.
#@@# Maintenance Profile#@#
Design minimizes maintenance intervals through sealed bearings and rugged wheel assemblies that tolerate high-frequency use. Technicians can perform routine inspections quickly, reducing downtime and labor for service tasks.
#@@#Delivery Details#@#
• Please ensure to handle the product with utmost care.
• Check if the product you have received has all the essential parts and accessories.
• Make sure to examine the product for damage before signing the delivery receipt.
• Contact customer service for delivery concerns.
• Delivery times may vary based on location.#@@#deliverynotes#@#NA#@@#Maintenance Guide#@#Inspect caster bolts weekly and tighten to specified torque to prevent play. Lubricate swivel bearings monthly with light machine oil at the race for smooth rotation. Clean wheel tread and remove debris after heavy use to prevent floor damage and uneven wear. Verify load capacity against shelf weight and redistribute loads to avoid overstressing wheels. Replace wheels with flat spots, excessive wobble, or corrosion.
