Extra Heavy Duty Dual Wheel Casters Models 2-50,
2-100, 2-150
Dual Wheel casters provide a
higher load capacity with a minimal overall height. The larger footprint ( two
wheels instead of one ) enhances stability and spreads the load over a larger
floor area. The differential action inherent in all swivel dual wheel designs
minimizes the effort required to change directions. We chose to show only our
highest capacity polyurethane wheels because they minimize floor wear. If your
application requires ductile steel wheels, please contact us for pricing.
Features:
Hot forged steel precision machined swivel
bearings.
No center pin to fail in arduous applications.
Tapered roller bearings are standard in wheels to
withstand side thrust.
All wheels have extra high capacity polyurethane
tires to provide floor protection and to minimize the chance of the tires
developing a flat spot under load.
Zerk fittings to lubricate swivel and wheel
bearings.
Zinc plated finish for added rust resistance.
Optional
Features:
Wheel Brake
- FCB - Face Contact Brake locks both wheels
Wheel Brakes are not designed to hold on
inclines.
Swivel
Lock - SL4 - Welded - Locks Swivel converting it into a Rigid
Caster.
Model 2- 50 - Deduct 3 lb. for weight of
rigid caster. Model 2-100 - Deduct 7 lb. for weight of
rigid caster. Model 2-150 - Deduct 10 lb. for weight of
rigid caster.
You should never select on the basis of
load capacity alone. Capacity ratings do not take into account the effort
required to manually move a load. Capacity ratings are based on manual
operation under ideal conditions. If these casters are going to be moved by
mechanically powered equipment, consult us for a reduced capacity rating based
on your application. If a human being has to move the weight, select the
largest practical wheel diameter.
If
a caster failure occurs it is almost always because of misuse or abuse. It has
been very rare that a product failed because of faulty material or poor
workmanship. The following are examples of things that we do
NOT want you to do:
1. Dragging the
wheel sideways.
2. Shock or Impact
caused by dropping the load instead of setting it down on the castered
equipment.
3. Improper
Installation such as:
A. Rigid casters not installed
parallel to one another.
B. Swivel casters not
installed parallel to the floor.
C. Using less than 4 bolts to
attach the mounting plate.
D. Distortion of the swivel
bearing when attaching the mounting plate due to welding
improperly.
4. Exceeding the
rated capacity of the wheel or caster.
5. Exceeding a
rolling speed of 3 MPH.
6. The build up of
heat caused by continuous operation causing tire separation.
