Overview
This kingpinless swivel caster has a polyurethane caster 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 features a face contact brake (FCB) for secure locking when needed. It delivers better overall ergonomics than standard industrial casters, making it perfect for applications where both mobility and secure positioning are required.
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, 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.
