Overview
The 61 Series Kingpinless Rigid Caster with 6-inch Polyurethane Wheel and Cast Iron Core is designed for heavy-duty industrial applications. This caster is ideal for environments requiring high load capacity and durability.
Benefits
The main benefit of the 61 Series rigid casters is their heavy-duty construction that allows for longer use, better ergonomics, and more efficiency in industrial applications. Polyurethane wheels offer 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 casters with polyurethane wheels include:
- Waste bins
- Platform trucks
- Job boxes in bakeries and woodworking facilities
If your industrial environment contains 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 that are free of debris, polyurethane wheels provide good rollability while offering excellent weight capacity. However, if your floors are smooth, polyurethane wheels are preferable to steel wheels which can damage smooth surfaces. Learn more about polyurethane wheels by clicking here.
