Product Description
17226 4" Swivel Casters – Stop Choosing Between Mobile and Stable
Cheap caster sets force a frustrating tradeoff: wheels loose enough to roll easily also drift and creep during use, while wheels locked down tight enough to stay put won't budge when you actually need to move the workbench. The POWERTEC 17226 caster set eliminates that compromise with a dual locking brake that locks both the wheel rotation AND the swivel function simultaneously — giving you a workbench, tool cart, or equipment stand that rolls smoothly across the shop floor when unlocked, then sits completely immobile in any direction once locked, with a combined static load rating of 1763 lbs across the set of four. Double ball bearings in each caster provide smooth 360° rotation even under heavy load, while Q235 carbon steel housing and reinforced top plates handle the daily abuse of workshop equipment mobility without bending or failing.
Engineered for woodworkers converting stationary workbenches into mobile workstations, shop owners building rolling tool carts, furniture makers adding mobility to heavy equipment stands, and anyone tired of choosing between wheels that roll but won't stay put, or fixed feet that stay put but never move, this set ships with two complete mounting hardware options — bolts/nuts and self-tapping screws, plus the wrench and screwdriver needed for installation — covering wood, metal, and pre-drilled platform mounting without requiring a separate hardware shopping trip. Durable PVC wheels resist common workshop chemicals including oils, alcohols, acids, and alkalis, making this set suitable for woodworking shops, metalworking stations, and general industrial environments where standard rubber casters degrade from chemical exposure.
Key Features & Benefits
Heavy-Duty 1763 lb Load Capacity
- Q235 carbon steel housing and reinforced top plates support up to 1763 lbs static load (1146 lbs dynamic) across the set of four casters — handling fully loaded workbenches, tool cabinets, and heavy equipment
- Steel construction resists the bending and cracking common in lighter-duty plastic or thin-gauge caster alternatives under sustained heavy loads
- Rated capacity covers workbenches loaded with tools, equipment carts carrying machinery, and mobile storage units holding substantial inventory
Dual Locking Brake — Wheel AND Swivel
- Dual locking mechanism simultaneously locks both wheel rotation and swivel direction—not just one or the other like basic single-lock casters
- Complete immobilization prevents the drift and creep that occurs with single-lock casters where the swivel still moves even when the wheel is locked
- Essential for stationary work like precision cutting, assembly, or any task where equipment movement during use compromises accuracy or safety
Smooth 360° Swivel with Double Ball Bearings
- Dual ball bearing design delivers smooth rotation and controlled movement even when the caster is under significant load
- 360° swivel function enables tight-space maneuvering — turning a loaded workbench or cart in confined shop areas without excessive force
- Bearing-based design outlasts simple bushing or friction-pivot alternatives that bind and stiffen under heavy use over time
Chemical-Resistant PVC Wheels
- PVC wheel construction resists common workshop chemicals including oils, mineral spirits, alcohols, acids, and alkalis
- Suitable for woodworking finishing areas, metalworking stations, and general industrial environments where chemical exposure degrades standard rubber wheels
- Durable wheel material maintains rolling performance and structural integrity across repeated chemical contact without cracking or softening
Complete Kit — Two Mounting Hardware Options
- Includes two complete mounting hardware sets—bolts/nuts and self-tapping screws—plus wrench and screwdriver for immediate installation
- Flexible mounting options accommodate wood workbenches, metal cart frames, and pre-drilled equipment platforms without requiring separate hardware purchases
- Ready-to-install kit eliminates the trip to the hardware store that incomplete caster sets typically require before installation can begin
