Product Description
17227 4" Swivel Casters (No Hardware) – For Builders Who Already Have Their Own Bolts
Buying a caster set that includes hardware is convenient — right up until you're replacing two casters on an existing tool cart and now have a drawer full of leftover bolts you'll never use, or your platform requires specific fastener lengths the included hardware doesn't match. The POWERTEC 17227 solves that with the identical 1763 lb-rated, dual-locking, double-ball-bearing caster construction as the POWERTEC 17226 — but without bundled mounting hardware, giving builders, fabricators, and anyone matching an existing setup the flexibility to use their own fasteners without paying for hardware they'll discard. Q235 carbon steel housing and reinforced top plates deliver the same heavy-duty strength rating, while chemical-resistant PVC wheels handle workshop oils, solvents, and cleaning agents without degrading.
Engineered for custom equipment fabricators specifying their own fastener grades, maintenance technicians replacing individual worn casters on existing mobile equipment where hardware must match what's already installed, and cost-conscious shop owners who already stock generic mounting bolts and don't need a third hardware kit cluttering the shop drawer, the 17227 delivers the exact same performance specification as the bundled 17226 set at a more focused price point for users who don't need the included hardware. Whether you're building a mobile workstation from scratch with specified fastener lengths, replacing failed casters on a platform truck, or upgrading a tool cart where the existing mounting holes dictate hardware size, this no-frills caster set delivers full heavy-duty performance without unnecessary extras.
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 — identical rating to POWERTEC's bundled caster kit
- Steel construction resists bending and cracking under sustained heavy loads from workbenches, tool carts, and industrial equipment
- Full-strength performance for platform trucks, equipment bases, and mobile workstations requiring serious load capacity
Dual Locking Brake — Wheel AND Swivel
- Dual locking mechanism simultaneously locks both wheel rotation and swivel direction—complete immobilization, not partial
- Eliminates the drift and creep of single-lock casters where swivel movement continues even with the wheel locked
- Secures equipment firmly in place during precision work, assembly tasks, or any operation where unwanted movement compromises accuracy
Smooth 360° Swivel with Double Ball Bearings
- Dual ball bearing design delivers smooth rotation and controlled movement even under significant load
- 360° swivel enables tight-space maneuvering for loaded carts and workbenches in confined shop areas
- Bearing-based construction outlasts simple bushing or pivot designs that bind and stiffen with extended heavy use
Chemical-Resistant PVC Wheels
- PVC wheel construction resists common workshop chemicals—oils, mineral spirits, alcohols, acids, and alkalis
- Suitable for woodworking finishing areas, metalworking stations, and industrial environments where chemical exposure degrades standard rubber wheels
- Maintains rolling performance and structural integrity across repeated chemical contact without cracking or softening
No Hardware — Built for Custom Mounting
- Ships without mounting hardware—ideal for matching existing fastener specifications, custom fabrication projects, or shops that already stock generic mounting bolts
- Avoids the wasted-hardware cost of bundled kits when replacing individual casters on equipment where hardware must match what's already installed
- Top plate mounting pattern accepts standard bolt sizing — bring your own fasteners sized to your specific platform thickness and application
