Features and Functional Purpose
This caster is specifically engineered for industrial applications. Its key features and purposes are:
| Feature | Description | Functional Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 4-Inch PP Wheel | Diameter of approx. 100mm (4 inches). Made from Polypropylene (PP). | Provides good load capacity. PP material offers excellent chemical resistance, impact resistance, and is washdown-friendly, making it suitable for wet or corrosive environments. |
| Dual Brake System | Equipped with a brake mechanism that locks both the wheel rotation and the swivel action simultaneously. | Provides double locking security. It reliably fixes equipment in place, preventing any movement or swivel. Essential for applications requiring static operation or safe parking. |
| Double Ball Bearings | Features ball bearings in both the swivel head (raceway) and the wheel hub. | Ensures smooth maneuverability.Reduces the starting and rolling resistance, making it easier to push heavy loads. Provides precise and fluid swiveling, even under full load. |
| Red Wheel Color | The PP wheel is colored red. | Enhances visibility. The bright color makes it easy to identify specific equipment or designated areas in busy industrial settings. |
| Rugged Metal Frame | The bracket/housing is made from formed steel, often with a corrosion-resistant finish like zinc plating. | Guarantees structural integrity.Provides robust support for the entire unit, ensuring durability under high-frequency and heavy-duty industrial use. |
