{"title":"Axles \u0026 Hardware","description":"\u003cp\u003eAxles, lock nuts, axle bolts, and mounting hardware are sold separately from cart casters and wheels. The standard P\u0026amp;H sizes are 5\/16-inch (light\/medium duty cart wheel and caster axles) and 1\/2-inch (heavy-duty caster bolts). Both are available in zinc-plated steel for indoor cart applications and stainless steel for wet, marine, and food-prep environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon SCW hardware references: MAZC1E (5\/16-inch zinc-plated axle, 2-1\/4 inch length), MAZA3J (1\/2-inch axle bolt), MNSC1N (5\/16-inch stainless steel nylon-insert lock nut), MNZA3N (1\/2-inch zinc-plated nylon-insert nut). Standard practice is to replace the axle and nut every time you replace the wheel — old hardware can have thread wear or bearing race damage that compromises the new wheel's performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're not sure what axle size your cart uses, measure the diameter of the existing axle bolt with a caliper. Most US cart manufacturers run 5\/16-inch on light\/medium duty and 1\/2-inch on heavy-duty caster lines.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/shoppingcartwheels.com\/collections\/axles-and-hardware.oembed","provider":"Shopping Cart Wheels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
