Frequently asked questions
Common questions about FOOT MASTER from 3G Electric.
What load capacities are available for FOOT MASTER general-purpose leveling plate casters?
FOOT MASTER general-purpose leveling plate casters in the 3G Electric catalog range from 551 lb to 1,543 lb load capacity. For example, the GDR-60-F-NYN model has a 551 lb capacity with a 50 mm wheel, while the GDL-75-BSF-NYD-FBL supports 1,543 lb with a 75 mm wheel. Load capacity depends on wheel diameter, tread material, and frame design. Always verify the specific MPN for your application.
Are FOOT MASTER corrosion-resistant leveling plate casters available?
Yes, FOOT MASTER offers corrosion-resistant leveling plate casters, such as the SGDN-80-F-NYN (SKU 819TC0). This model features a nylon tread, 63 mm wheel diameter, 103 mm mounting height, and a 1,213 lb load capacity. The corrosion-resistant construction is suitable for environments with moisture, washdowns, or chemical exposure. Check the MPN for specific material details.
What brake kits does FOOT MASTER provide for casters?
FOOT MASTER supplies brake kits for specific caster models, including the B01.150.000.001 for GF-150 casters (5 7/8 in wheel diameter) and the B01.100.000.001 for GF-100 casters (3 15/16 in wheel diameter). Both kits are made of steel and include a face-mounted brake. The lock mechanism is not included; it must be ordered separately. These kits allow field replacement of braking components.
Can FOOT MASTER directional-lock kits be used on multiple caster widths?
FOOT MASTER directional-lock kits, such as the GF-100:DL (SKU 819TD5), are designed for wheel widths between 2 1/2 in and 2 5/8 in. The kit is made of steel and provides steering control by locking the swivel action. It is compatible with the GF-100 caster series. For other wheel widths, verify compatibility with the specific caster model before ordering.
What tread materials are used in FOOT MASTER plate casters?
FOOT MASTER plate casters in the 3G Electric catalog use nylon or polyurethane treads. Nylon treads (e.g., GDR-60-F-NYN) offer low rolling resistance and are suitable for smooth floors. Polyurethane treads (e.g., GD-80-F-HUP-FBL) provide higher load capacity and floor protection. Both materials are available in various wheel diameters and load ratings.
How do I identify the correct FOOT MASTER caster for my equipment?
Use the manufacturer part number (MPN) to identify the correct FOOT MASTER caster. Key specifications include wheel diameter (50 mm to 75 mm), mounting height (82 mm to 110 mm), load capacity (551 lb to 1,543 lb), tread material (nylon or polyurethane), and frame color (white or black). For leveling plate casters, ensure the mounting plate pattern matches your equipment. 3G Electric lists MPNs for each SKU to simplify ordering.
