Description
4″ Gray Rubber on Aluminum. Ball Bearing Wheel. Plain Swivel Caster (no brake). Stem Caster Model K3A is made from stamped steel frames with a zinc plating to resist corrosion. This stem caster uses a ⅜” diameter axle and the swivel caster raceway is held together by a ½” diameter rivet. Stem Caster Model K3A caster brackets have two rows of ball bearings rotating on raceways for smoother swiveling. There is a solid cover over the swivel raceways to shield them from dirt and dust.
