Overview
This kingpinless swivel caster has a phenolic wheel with a diameter of 5 inches (as indicated by the "52" in the SKU) and is ideal for heavy duty industrial applications. This swivel caster has more benefits and better overall ergonomics than the standard industrial caster, making it perfect for high-demand environments where reliability and performance are crucial.
Benefits
The main benefit of the kingpinless series casters is that they eliminate the use of the kingpin which allows for longer use, better ergonomics and more efficiency. In addition to benefits of the overall kingpinless caster category, phenolic wheels have their own benefits such as being resistant to oil, grease, gasoline and mild acids. Phenolic wheels also offer high load capacity and excellent durability in a variety of industrial environments. Click here to learn more about our phenolic wheels.

Applications

The chemical resistance of phenolic wheels makes them particularly suitable for environments where exposure to oils, greases, and mild chemicals is common, such as manufacturing plants, auto repair shops, and chemical processing facilities.
