Description
The Forged Steel Wheel Model 50 swivel casters use the same caster wheels shown in plate caster model 30. Nonetheless, it stands out due to its larger plate mount, thick legs, and swivel bearing. Options include a face contact wheel brake to lock the wheels, and a hand operated swivel lock that converts a swivel caster into a rigid caster for direct line travel. There are lubrication fittings for all moveable parts, and the metal frames are zinc plated for rust resistance.
