From the Manufacturer 2-1/2-Inch swivel general duty swivel casters have exceptionally long wear life. Review: Good sturdy castor - I mounted these on my shop press so I could move it when working with a long piece. It does't get moved often, so the lack of grease fittings didn't matter. I just greased them liberally when installing. Review: Shepherd 9176 General Duty swivel cast iron caster - I am very happy with this seller: price was excellent, delivery was two days ahead of schedule and the product was exactly as they described it. I am even happier with the product. It even exceeds what I expected in quality. It is a very sturdy metal swivel caster and will certainly not flatten on the bottom as softer casters often do under even moderate loads that sit for any length of time. Plan to attach them to a wood platform that fits the 18" x 36" 5-shelf shelving stacks in the garage. Great shelving but they can't be moved once they're loaded. These little gems will cure that problem permanently. Glad I ran across them on desertcart.com. Fully intend to purchase 8 to 12 more when my budget permits. ## Features - 1-inch wide x 2-1/2-inch diameter cast iron silver wheel with heavy duty ball bearing swivel plate mount - 2-3/4-inch x 3-3/4-inch industrial top plate with 3-3/4-inch clearance height - 175-lb load capacity per caster - Cast iron casters have an exceptionally long wear life and can withstand extreme temperatures. Recommended for infrequently moved objects on rough wood or concrete floors. - Includes 1 caster ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000H5OV3A | | Assembled Diameter | 2.5 Inches | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,422,035 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #3,553 in Plate Casters #306,869 in Hardware | | Caster Type | Swivel | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 3.7 out of 5 stars (27) | | Cutting Diameter | 2.5 Inches | | Date First Available | September 10, 2006 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00039003091760 | | Included Components | Hardware;Casters & Floor Protection;ball-casters | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 1.2 pounds | | Item model number | 9176 | | Load Capacity | 175 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Shepherd Hardware | | Maximum Weight Capacity | 175 Pounds | | Mounting Type | Plate Mount | | Number Of Pieces | 1 | | Part Number | 9176 | | Shape | Shape | | Size | 2-1/2 Inch | | Special Features | Swivel | | Style | 2.5-Inch, swivel | | Surface Recommendation | Multi-Surface | | UPC | 039003091760 | | Wheel Width | 2 Inches | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Shepherd Hardware - **Color:** Silver - **Item Weight:** 1.2 Pounds - **Material:** Cast Iron - **Unit Count:** 1.0 Count ## Images ![9176 2-1/2-Inch Cast Iron Swivel Plate Caster, 175-lb Load Capacity - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610Rj8uPERL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good sturdy castor *by P***N on January 19, 2024* I mounted these on my shop press so I could move it when working with a long piece. It does't get moved often, so the lack of grease fittings didn't matter. I just greased them liberally when installing. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shepherd 9176 General Duty swivel cast iron caster *by M***O on August 16, 2013* I am very happy with this seller: price was excellent, delivery was two days ahead of schedule and the product was exactly as they described it. I am even happier with the product. It even exceeds what I expected in quality.

They make it very easy to move, rotate, and push sideways against a wall even when heavily loaded. They'll ride over slight obstructions with an extra push. Only quibbles are that the open bearings pick up dirt and sawdust, and squeak. But for a wood shop they appear a good choice. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1607544-9176-2-1-2-inch-cast-iron-swivel-plate-caster](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1607544-9176-2-1-2-inch-cast-iron-swivel-plate-caster) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
