Frequently asked questions

Common questions about COLSON from 3G Electric.

What types of COLSON casters are available through 3G Electric?

3G Electric stocks COLSON casters in several categories: low-profile medical plate casters with total lock or no brake options, plate casters with flat-free wheels in rigid configurations, medium-duty plate casters with polyurethane wheels, general-purpose NSF-listed sanitary plate casters, and standard threaded stem casters. Wheel diameters range from 2 inches to 10 inches, with mounting heights from 2 7/8 inches to 11 1/2 inches. Both swivel and rigid models are available, with or without brakes.

What wheel materials are used in COLSON casters supplied by 3G Electric?

COLSON casters from 3G Electric feature wheels made from rubber, polyurethane, and flat-free materials. Rubber wheels are common on medical and general-purpose casters, providing floor protection and quiet operation. Polyurethane wheels offer higher load capacity and resistance to wear, often in orange or green tread colors. Flat-free wheels eliminate the need for air pressure and are used in applications where puncture resistance is critical.

Are COLSON casters from 3G Electric suitable for sanitary or washdown environments?

Yes, 3G Electric supplies COLSON NSF-listed sanitary plate casters, such as the 16PD06201S model with a polyurethane wheel and swivel configuration. These casters are designed for food service, healthcare, and cleanroom environments where hygiene standards apply. The NSF listing indicates compliance with public health standards for materials and design, making them appropriate for areas requiring regular cleaning or exposure to moisture.

What mounting options are available for COLSON casters at 3G Electric?

COLSON casters from 3G Electric come with plate mounting (slot or hole patterns) and threaded stem mounting. Plate casters include top plates with slots for bolting to equipment, with dimensions such as 2 7/8 inch or 7 1/4 inch mounting heights. Stem casters, like the 2.03254.55 BRK1, have a 1-inch-13 thread size for direct insertion into threaded sockets. Both swivel and rigid versions are offered.

Do COLSON casters from 3G Electric include braking options?

Yes, several COLSON caster models include brakes. For example, the low-profile medical plate caster DW02GRP100TLTP11 has a total lock that simultaneously brakes the wheel and locks the swivel. The stem caster 2.03254.55 BRK1 includes a brake. Other models, such as the rigid medium-duty casters, are available without brakes. Brake type and location vary by model, so specifications should be verified per part number.

What bearing types are used in COLSON casters sold by 3G Electric?

COLSON casters from 3G Electric predominantly use ball bearings for wheel rotation. Ball bearings provide low rolling resistance and smooth swivel action under moderate loads. Some models, such as the flat-free wheel casters, specify double ball raceways for the swivel section, which enhances durability and load distribution. Bearing type is listed in the product specifications for each SKU.
