6″ Blue Ergonomic Rubber Slight Crown – Model 9 Swivel Caster

Description

DO NOT ORDER SWIVEL LOCK OR RACEWAY SEALS IF YOU ORDER THE TL – TOTAL LOCK BRAKE. THE TL BRAKE WILL NOT WORK WITH EITHER THE SWIVEL LOCK OR RACEWAY SEALS.

The wheel in this caster has a blue, ergonomic non-marking injection molded thermoplastic rubber tire that is mechanically bonded to a polyolefin ( industrial plastic ) center. Tire is made of copolymer rubber with excellent elastic properties capable of withstanding the impact of some obstructions.

These caster wheels provide a softer ride than polyurethane and yet withstand exposure to many chemicals and solvents.
Soft rubber provides more desirable operating characteristics than any other wheel material. These blue soft rubber wheels are non-marking, quiet, absorb shock (prolonging equipment life and protecting cargo), can roll over small objects, protect costly floor surfaces, and minimizes vibration.
If cargo is to be moved manually on these blue soft rubber caster wheels, reduce capacity ratings by 50% and select the largest practical wheel diameter. These caster wheels should not be left standing under load for extended periods as the tires may take a permanent “set” or develop flat spots. They can be used on almost any dry factory floor. The bonding agent which holds the rubber tire to its polyolefin center can be affected by exposure to some chemicals, impact, overloading, and the buildup of heat.
