Engineered for heavy-duty transport in foodservice and institutional settings, this Metro plate caster ensures reliable mobility and controlled stopping for shelving, dollies, and carts. Featuring an 8" diameter high-modulus donut wheel and a 2" wide tread, it supports up to 450 pounds while resisting deformation under repeated loads, enabling smooth rolling across kitchen and storage floors.
LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Unplug the dolly and remove the load. Wipe the caster assembly and plate with mild detergent and a soft cloth. Clean grease and debris from the donut and bumpers. Inspect the swivel-brake mechanism, clean the brake pad, and apply food-safe lubricant if authorized. Tighten mounting bolts to factory torque. Dry thoroughly before returning the Metro C8DBA to service to prevent corrosion and maintain its 450-pound capacity.#@@#Additional Info#@#The Metro C8DBA Super Erecta dolly plate caster has an 8" swivel-brake wheel, 2" face, high-modulus tread, bumpers, and 450 lbs capacity, ideal for Metro shelving and heavy-duty foodservice carts.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#
Engineered for heavy-duty transport in foodservice and institutional settings, this Metro plate caster ensures reliable mobility and controlled stopping for shelving, dollies, and carts. Featuring an 8" diameter high-modulus donut wheel and a 2" wide tread, it supports up to 450 pounds while resisting deformation under repeated loads, enabling smooth rolling across kitchen and storage floors.
#@@# Wheel Design#@#
The 8" donut wheel uses high-modulus material to reduce flat-spotting and absorb shock, preserving stability and protecting stored items during moves. The 2" tread distributes weight to minimize floor wear, extending the life of both the caster and floor surfaces.
#@@# Brake Mechanism#@#
A swivel-brake assembly provides instant, user-applied stopping power, securing carts and shelving during loading or service. The brake engages the swivel portion to prevent rotation and rolling, enhancing safety in busy environments.
#@@# Mounting Plate#@#
The plate caster design offers a broad, rigid mounting surface that simplifies installation on dollies and frames while resisting distortion under lateral loads. The flat plate ensures even bolt torque and maintains alignment for reliable steering.
#@@# Capacity Rating#@#
With a capacity range of 400–499 pounds, the caster suits medium to heavy loads typical in restaurants, hospitals, and institutional kitchens. The 450-pound rating provides a clear limit for fleet managers configuring loads.
#@@# Durability Features#@#
Donut bumpers around the wheel hub absorb impacts and reduce lateral stress on swivel bearings, lowering wear and maintenance needs. The construction emphasizes long service intervals under repetitive use in high-throughput operations.
#@@# Application Versatility#@#
Designed as a swivel plate caster, it adapts to dollies, utility carts, and modular shelving systems where maneuverability and braking are essential. Facility managers gain a compact solution balancing load capacity, floor protection, and operational control.
