Overview
This kingpinless swivel caster has a polyurethane caster wheel with a diameter of 8 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 60.82.50.APB.FCB features ball bearings that are sealed and pre-lubricated, providing better ergonomics and less maintenance. This model also includes a face contact brake for added security and stability in your workplace.
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 face contact brake (FCB) provides reliable locking capability when movement is not desired, making this caster ideal for applications where both performance and security are required.
In addition to these features, 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.

The larger 8-inch wheel diameter provides additional benefits including smoother operation over uneven surfaces, reduced rolling resistance, and the ability to more easily overcome small obstacles on the floor. This makes these casters particularly suitable for applications where equipment needs to be moved over expansion joints, door thresholds, or slightly rough surfaces.
Applications
Applications for large diameter polyurethane kingpinless casters with face contact brakes include industrial manufacturing, heavy material handling, large platform trucks, machinery movers, and equipment that needs to be regularly relocated but also securely positioned when stationary. The face contact brake allows for quick and reliable locking when the equipment reaches its destination or when safety concerns require immobilization.
Due to the high load capacity and larger wheel size, polyurethane caster wheels work exceptionally well in Woodworking, Aerospace, Automotive and Food Processing industries where floor conditions may vary. Click here to learn more about our polyurethane wheels.
This model comes equipped with a face contact brake ("FCB") for added safety and stability.
