Prepline PFC-4-SB 4" Plate Casters with Side Brake, Set of 4, Polyurethane Tread

The Prepline PFC-4-SB is a set of four 4 inch plate casters that convert commercial cooking and refrigeration equipment from fixed adjustable legs to rolling mobility. Two of the four casters carry side brakes and two roll free, so a fryer, range, or reach-in swings away from the wall for the nightly degrease, then locks back into position before the first ticket of the day. Health inspectors want to see clean floors behind and beneath the line, and a caster set is the cheapest way to make that wall-side cleaning a two-minute job instead of a two-person lift.

Plate Bracket with a 2.87 by 1.73 Inch Hole Pattern

Each caster mounts through a plate style bracket measuring 3.6 by 2.4 inches with four predrilled holes on a 2.87 by 1.73 inch center pattern. That pattern matches the leg plates on most commercial brands, so installation is four bolts per corner rather than a fabrication project. The plate spreads the load of the equipment across the whole bracket instead of concentrating it on a single threaded stem, which is why plate casters are the standard choice under heavy cooking equipment.

Polyurethane Tread over a Polypropylene Core

The wheel centers are molded polypropylene wrapped in a polyurethane tread. Polyurethane rolls quietly and refuses to flat-spot the way hard plastic wheels do when a loaded unit sits in one place for a month, and it will not leave the black scuff trails that rubber wheels drag across a tile kitchen floor. The brackets are stainless steel, so mop water and degreaser splash rinse off without starting corrosion at the swivel race.

Two Side Brakes for Service, Two Swivels for Steering

The two braked casters use a side-lever lock you can set and release with the toe of a shoe, no crouching under a hot fryer required. Set the brakes and the unit holds position through door slams and pan drops; release them and all four wheels swivel, letting one cook steer the equipment straight out from the wall. Installed height is 5 inches, a figure worth checking against your hood overhang and counter lineup before the swap. The set weighs 7 pounds and fits most commercial cooking and refrigeration equipment.
