Description
Model 50 Swivel Casters utilize the same Ductile Steel Slight Crown wheel shown in plate caster model 30. Yet, the model 50 plate caster has a bigger mounting plate and thicker legs.
This allows for heavier loads and more tiring service. The precision machined swivel provides unparalleled performance on both hand operated and mechanically powered machinery.
There are lubrication fittings for all mobile parts, and the metal frames are zinc plated for rust resistance.
