Overview
The 61 Series kingpinless rigid caster with urethane on iron wheel (UIB) is engineered for demanding industrial environments requiring heavy-duty performance and superior floor protection. This caster features a kingpinless rigid design paired with a polyurethane wheel and cast iron core, making it ideal for applications where durability, rollability, and resistance to chemicals are essential. The 6-inch polyurethane wheel offers excellent load capacity and is suitable for use in tandem with kingpinless swivel casters for optimal mobility and directional stability. Most carts benefit from a combination of two swivel and two rigid casters for the best maneuverability and stability.

For environments with debris or metal shavings, consider a caster with a lower durometer wheel material, as polyurethane wheels are relatively hard and may not easily purge embedded debris. For smooth floors, polyurethane wheels offer excellent rollability and weight capacity while protecting surfaces from damage.
