Overview
This kingpinless rigid caster has a polyurethane caster wheel with a diameter of 5 inches and is ideal for heavy duty industrial applications. Featuring a larger top plate for enhanced stability and load distribution, this rigid caster is cost effective and provides excellent stability for directional control in your material handling equipment. Ball bearings are sealed and pre-lubricated, providing better ergonomics and less maintenance.
Benefits
The main benefit of the 60 Series rigid casters is their heavy-duty construction that allows for longer use, better ergonomics and more efficiency in industrial applications. Polyurethane wheels have their own benefits, such as superior floor protection, longer service life, low rolling resistance, high dynamic load capacity and high tear resistance. Ball bearings are sealed and pre-lubricated, providing better ergonomics and less maintenance.

Applications
Applications for polyurethane kingpinless rigid casters include industrial manufacturing, waste bins, platform trucks, job boxes in bakeries and woodworking facilities. Due to the high load capacity, polyurethane caster wheels work great in Woodworking, Aerospace, Automotive and Food Processing industries. The 5-inch wheel diameter provides excellent mobility while the rigid design ensures directional stability for controlled movement.
Rigid casters are typically used in tandem with our kingpinless swivel casters (casters that begin with "60"). Most carts use 2 swivel and 2 rigid casters for optimal maneuverability and control. This non-swivel caster provides the directional stability needed for efficient material handling.
If your floor surface is frequently covered in debris and/or metal shavings, these polyurethane wheels are an excellent choice. Their lower durometer (softer material) helps to purge debris that becomes embedded in the wheel material, ensuring consistent performance in challenging environments.
