Footmaster GDN-100S-HUP Leveling Caster

Footmaster GDN-100S-HUP Leveling Caster – 750 Kg Load Capacity for Industrial Machinery and Equipment is a product in the field of industrial casters / leveling casters / height-adjustable casters / heavy-duty casters / PU casters / machinery accessories / material handling equipment, developed by Footmaster – South Korea and distributed by Castor & Wheel to businesses manufacturing machinery, industrial equipment, automation, mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic equipment, testing and measurement equipment, and units requiring a combination of mobility and equipment stabilization.
The product is used to move machinery when repositioning is required, then lower the leveling foot to create a stable support point during operation. The integrated design of the wheel and adjustable foot makes it suitable for equipment that requires both mobility and stability after placement.
The GDN-100S-HUP uses a cast polyurethane (PU) wheel, Shore D70, with an aluminum core, 75 mm diameter, 30 mm width, 120 mm overall height, and 12 mm adjustment travel. The foot pad uses an NBR anti-vibration pad, which helps increase grip and reduce vibration transmission to the floor.
Footmaster specifies a load capacity of 750 kg per caster and 1,500 kg when using 4 casters. Selection should be based on machine weight, number of casters, center of gravity, load distribution, and actual operating conditions.

1. Product Highlights

The GDN-100S-HUP belongs to the GDN series of leveling casters, combining a mobility wheel and a height-adjustable foot in a single unit.
When the leveling foot is raised, the PU wheel facilitates equipment movement. Once the machine is in position, the foot pad can be lowered to level and stabilize the equipment.
The bracket uses forged steel, an aluminum frame, and a swivel head with double ball bearings. Metal components are treated with electrostatic powder coating and zinc plating.
The product has an operating temperature range of approximately -10°C to +90°C, suitable for various factory and industrial production environments.

2. Suitable Applications

3.4. Pre-Installation Check and Evaluation

Before selection, it is necessary to check the machine weight, center of gravity, number of support points, actual load on each caster, and mounting position structure.
Do not calculate system load by directly multiplying 750 kg by the number of casters, as Footmaster specifies a load capacity of 1,500 kg for a 4-caster configuration.
It is necessary to check mounting dimensions, overall height of 120 mm, adjustment travel of 12 mm, and floor conditions to ensure product suitability.
After installation, test the swivel, rolling, leveling foot adjustment, and equipment stability before putting it into operation.

4. Benefits for Customers and Businesses

The Footmaster GDN-100S-HUP combines mobility, leveling, stabilization, and vibration reduction support in a single caster unit.
Equipment can be moved when changing production line layouts or for maintenance, after which the leveling foot helps create a stable state at the operating position.
