#@@# Wheel Capacity#@#
This caster supports a 250-pound load rating, allowing single-wheel support for heavy carts and reducing the number of wheels needed per platform. Specifying the rated capacity simplifies fleet planning and prevents premature failures under typical service loads.
#@@# TPR Wheel Tread#@#
The thermoplastic rubber flat wheel tread absorbs shock and minimizes noise while protecting floors from scuff marks. Operators will experience quieter movement and reduced maintenance for floor finishes in high-traffic areas.
#@@# Chromate Plated Rig#@#
A chromate plated rig resists corrosion in humid and washdown environments typical of food service operations. Maintenance teams will spend less time on rust mitigation and more time on essential tasks.
#@@# Swivel Functionality#@#
The swivel configuration allows for full 360-degree rotation, facilitating tight turning radii and precise positioning of carts. Staff can maneuver loaded units through narrow aisles and crowded prep areas with consistent control.
#@@# Bumper Inclusion#@#
The assembly includes a bumper sized for a MetroMax post, protecting cart edges and adjacent equipment during transit. Facilities will reduce cosmetic damage and avoid costly touch-ups over the cart's service life.
#@@# Compliance and Certification#@#
The component carries NSF certification and complies with TAA where applicable, ensuring conformity with common procurement and sanitary standards. Procurement officers and facilities managers will meet regulatory requirements and maintain audit readiness.
