Overview
This kingpinless swivel caster has a polyurethane caster wheel with a diameter of 6 inches and is ideal for heavy duty industrial applications. This swivel caster has more benefits and better overall ergonomics than the standard industrial caster. The 60.62.51.APB features a larger top plate (indicated by "51" in the SKU) for enhanced stability and mounting options, making it ideal for applications requiring a more robust connection to the equipment. 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. The larger top plate on this model provides additional mounting surface area, which distributes the load more evenly and creates a more secure connection to equipment. This is particularly beneficial for applications with higher load requirements or where vibration might be a concern.
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.

Applications
Applications for polyurethane kingpinless casters with larger top plates include industrial manufacturing, heavy-duty platform trucks, large material handling carts, maintenance equipment, and other applications where a more secure mounting is required. The larger mounting plate makes this caster particularly suitable for equipment that experiences significant lateral forces or carries unstable or top-heavy loads. Due to the high load capacity, polyurethane caster wheels work great in Woodworking, Aerospace, Automotive and Food Processing industries. Click here to learn more about our polyurethane wheels.
A locking swivel caster is also available in this series for added safety and stability. Look for part numbers that end in "FCB," "BIB," "DSL," "TB," and "IS" which stand for "Face Contact Brake," "Built in Brake," "Demountable Swivel Lock," "Top Lock Brake," and "Ideal Stop Brake" respectively.
