A caster assembly is disclosed for use in conjunction with a caster for an industrial truck or the like where lint, string, or other unwanted materials are apt to be picked up by the caster or wheel and become secured or embedded therearound so as to impede caster operation. The non-binding caster comprises a yoke; an axle extending within the yoke; a hubcap fixedly attached to the yoke intermediate the yoke and the wheel for deflecting the foreign material away from the wheel and the axle; and a plurality of blades mounted between the hubcap and the yoke for cutting the foreign material deflected by the hubcap. Metal shields mounted above the blades may be employed as a safety device to cover the blades and, thereby eliminate the possibility of workers being cut by the blades.
