Overview
This heavy duty kingpinless swivel caster has a polyurethane caster wheel with radius tread and a diameter of 6 inches, specifically designed for extreme industrial applications requiring maximum durability, maneuverability, and security. The 60.62.50.RAPB.HD.FCB model features a radius tread ("R") polyurethane wheel that offers enhanced maneuverability and reduced rolling resistance, along with a face contact brake for added safety. Ball bearings are sealed and pre-lubricated, providing better ergonomics and less maintenance.
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. This heavy duty (HD) model with radius tread polyurethane wheel takes these benefits further with improved maneuverability for the most demanding environments. The face contact brake (FCB) provides reliable locking capability when movement is not desired, making this caster ideal for applications where heavy-duty performance, enhanced mobility, and security are all required.
The radius tread design allows the wheel to move more easily over obstacles and turn with less effort, while still providing all the standard benefits of polyurethane wheels, such as superior floor protection, longer service life, low rolling resistance, high dynamic load capacity and high tear resistance.

Applications
Applications for heavy duty radius tread polyurethane kingpinless casters with face contact brakes include industrial manufacturing with extreme load requirements, specialized material handling on inclines or uneven surfaces, heavy equipment movement where safety and maneuverability are paramount, and facilities with continuous operation demands that require occasional securing of equipment. The radius tread design is particularly beneficial in environments where casters need to frequently change direction or navigate uneven surfaces while maintaining the ability to lock in place when needed. Due to the high load capacity, these polyurethane caster wheels work exceptionally well in Woodworking, Aerospace, Automotive and Food Processing industries.
