They are made with high performance non-marking
polyurethane tires. When used in this caster, the maximum recommended speed
is 3 miles per hour.
Each wheel has two independent rotating surfaces
which enhance capacity and swivel ease.
They are ergonomically designed to minimize the
force required to initially start an object as well as the force required to
keep it in motion.
They improve safety for your employees by reducing
the risk of injury.
The heavy duty aluminum centers are equipped with
extra large sealed precision ball bearings which require NO maintenance.
These wheels have a higher carrying capacity and
roll easier than any other polyurethane wheel of the same diameter having the
same size footprint and hardness.

We
suggest that you do NOT drill the mounting holes to attach the casters until
you receive them.
When you make a value analysis, it is
these features & benefits that, in our opinion, make this caster the finest
ever made. The slightly higher initial cost is more than offset by its
performance and long service life! Why invest in these casters?
Because, day in, day out, week by week, and year by year the savings in
operation pile up - maximum loads at minimum effort - no replacement for years.
Try a set. You will be immediately amazed at the noticeable difference.
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.
