RACK FORCE Replacement Locking Wheel for Z-Racks - 4" Diameter, 1" Thread Stem Professional Grade for Canadian Food Service
These are commercial-grade casters. The polyurethane tire rolls smooth and won't mark tile or vinyl. Steel stem and housing take the daily abuse of loaded racks. The foot pedal brake gives you positive locking anywhere. When a caster fails during a busy prep shift, swapping one of these in gets you back to full mobility in under five minutes.
Stocked by ChickenPieces.com at our Calgary distribution hub. Delivered Canada-wide all 10 provinces and 3 territories in 2-5 business days.
"I've swapped dozens of these on our customers' Z-racks. The 1-inch threaded stem fits most standard racks without modification. That foot pedal brake is a lifesaver on sloped floors. We stock these year-round because once operators try them, they order spares. Bulk orders ship fast from Calgary."
In Canadian food service, Z-racks are the backbone of mobile storage sheet pans, hotel pans, proofing trays, you name it. A caster that fails at the wrong time stops a line cold. These RACK FORCE locking wheels are a direct replacement that installs without modifying the rack frame. The polyurethane tire rolls quieter than hard rubber and resists the floor debris that builds up during a dinner rush.
