Mitsubishi Swivel Caster 2.5 x 1.25 Post Mount – AD56407344

Built on a 2.5 inch diameter wheel with a 1.25 inch tread width, this post-mount swivel caster serves as a steering or stabilizing wheel on Mitsubishi and equivalent electric forklift models. The swivel post mount lets the caster pivot freely so the wheel follows the direction of travel, the arrangement used on the smaller support and steering wheels around a forklift chassis rather than on the primary drive or load wheels.

At 1.49 pounds, the caster's light weight and compact size fit that supporting and steering role rather than carrying primary load, consistent with the 2.5 by 1.25 inch wheel. The swivel allows the wheel to caster behind its pivot axis, trailing and reorienting as the truck changes direction.

Post-mount casters vary in post length and diameter even within a similar wheel size class, so match the wheel diameter, the tread width, and the post length and diameter to the caster being replaced. Comparing the post physically to the mount coming off confirms it seats to the same depth as the original.
