What is the minimum diameter of caster?

Normally made of forged steel, a v groove caster is strong and sturdy enough to handle the weight of heavy loads. Its design makes it suitable for many applications, including food processing, manufacturing, and automotive assembly.

The wheels are specially designed to function on an inverted angle iron track, but they can also be mounted flush on a flat surface. They are also ideal for floor operation, and can be used to guide loads of any size or capacity.

These casters are available in a variety of materials, including forged steel, stainless steel, poly-urethane, and plain bore. They can be used in different industries, including automotive assembly, food processing, and aerospace assembly.

When it comes to durability, ductile steel alloys offer a much higher level of durability than standard cast iron wheels. Forged steel casters are also capable of carrying loads of 3,500 pounds per caster.

Heavy duty V groove casters are often used in manufacturing applications to ensure a smooth production process. They can guide and stabilize loads of any size, and are able to handle high temperatures.
