Light to Medium Duty Casters

Construction: Heavy gauge steel deep formed for maximum strength.

Swivel bearing: Hardened and polished steel balls in deep formed raceway designed not only to carry the load but also to absorb side thrust between the deeply embossed outer apron of the base and formed inner flange of the fork.

Fork: Legs and fork are one piece pressed steel construction.

King Pin: Steel rivet, orbitally formed to provide equal strength at both ends.

Axle: A square neck under the head of the axle fits in a square hole in the leg of the fork which prevents the axle from turning. In addition, a steel sleeve fits over the axle (except for the 2" size) and is held rigidly between the fork members, thereby greatly strengthening the caster, preventing wear on the axle and providing a larger axle bearing for the wheel.

Wheel bearing: Plain bearing wheels are sized to rotate directly on the sleeve described above. Straight roller bearing wheels rotate on a hardened and ground steel sleeve which provides a precision inner raceway for the bearing.

Lubrication: Swivel is lubricated at the factory. Pressure fitting is provided in the wheel hub or in recessed head of hollow axle.

Finish: Zinc plated finish for all parts except the wheel.

Rigid Caster: One-piece heavy gauge steel construction, deeply formed and embossed to equal the strength and durability of the companion swivel caster.
