This is a heavy-duty swivel caster wheel with an integrated brake, designed for industrial, commercial, and heavy-load applications requiring controlled mobility. It features a 200 mm (8-inch) diameter polyurethane (PU) tread over a polypropylene (PP) core, with double ball bearings for smooth operation. The "skid proof" PU tread provides excellent traction, while the swivel design allows 360-degree rotation, and the brake locks the wheel to prevent unwanted movement.
Features
:- Bearing System: Double ball bearings ensure low rolling resistance, reduced friction, and quiet, efficient performance under heavy loads.
- Caster Type: Swivel design enables full rotation for maneuverability. Includes a brake mechanism (often a foot-operated pedal or lever) that locks both the wheel's rotation and swiveling to secure equipment in place.
- Skid Proof Properties: PU tread offers high traction (coefficient of friction >0.8 in dry conditions), minimizing slips on inclines or slippery floors.
Applications
:- Material Handling Equipment: Used in carts, dollies, and trolleys for transporting goods in warehouses, factories, and distribution centers.
- Conveyor Systems: Integrated into rollers and tracks for automated assembly lines and manufacturing processes.
