Overview
The RAPB.42.12 caster follows Barron Equipment’s nomenclature, where "RAPB" indicates a polyurethane wheel with a radius tread and ball bearing. The "42" suggests it is part of the 40/41 Series, which are categorized as industrial casters suitable for general warehouse use, platform trucks, utility carts, and bakery carts. The "12" likely refers to a 12-inch wheel diameter, making this caster suitable for applications requiring higher ground clearance and load capacity. Polyurethane wheels are known for their excellent floor protection, long service life, and high dynamic load capacity, making them ideal for industrial environments where both durability and floor care are important.
