Overview
This industrial rigid caster has a polyurethane caster wheel with a diameter of 6 inches and is ideal for heavy duty industrial applications. This fixed caster, or rigid caster, is typically used in tandem with our 60 Series swivel casters. Most carts use 2 swivel and 2 rigid casters. This non-swivel caster offers excellent durability and load capacity for demanding industrial environments with a regular top plate mounting.
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 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 larger 6-inch wheel diameter provides easier rolling over obstacles and uneven surfaces. Click here to learn more about our polyurethane wheels.
