Description

8″ Automotive Caster with Extra Thick Polyurethane on Aluminum center.  Completed with Precision ball bearings and top hat spacer.

The Crown Tread tire is extra thick to provide a cushion ride and to absorb impact rolling over small obstructions.  The precision ball bearings in the wheel enable the wheel to be towed by mechanically powered equipment.  The wheel bearing seals eliminate the need for lubrication.

 

 

FAQ

What material is the UXY Self-Energizing Ergonomic Polyurethane Wheel made from in the Kingpinless Plate Caster Model G15?

The UXY Self-Energizing Ergonomic Polyurethane Wheel in the Kingpinless Plate Caster Model G15 has non-marking polyurethane tires with an 80A Shore hardness crown tread, mechanically bonded to an aluminum core, excelling at protecting floors, lab equipment, sensitive cargo, and fragile items.

Can this kingpinless caster be used in tow-line applications?

Yes, this self-energizing polyurethane is an excellent choice for tow-line applications.  It’s crown tread tire helps reduce shimmy and vibration when being tugged.  High-efficiency, precision sealed ball bearings are a maintenance free standard option for towing.

What applications are best for the Kingpinless Plate Caster Model G15 with UXY Self-Energizing Ergonomic Polyurethane Wheel in aerospace and paint booths?

The Kingpinless Plate Caster Model G15 with UXY Self-Energizing Ergonomic Polyurethane Wheel fits aerospace settings like Boeing to safeguard expensive epoxy floors, paint booths to protect delicate surfaces, and fragile cargo handling, where an industrial kingpinless plate caster moves equipment with low-effort rolling, reducing employee strain and battery strain, and handles uneven floors to climb over debris and imperfections.

What bearing type comes with the UXY Self-Energizing Ergonomic Polyurethane Wheel in the Kingpinless Plate Caster Model G15?

The UXY Self-Energizing Ergonomic Polyurethane Wheel in the Kingpinless Plate Caster Model G15 comes standard with maintenance-free precision sealed ball bearings with top hat spanners for a 1/2” axle, maintaining smooth rolling to ease push/pull efforts and protect sensitive floors, even on uneven surfaces.

Can the UXY Self-Energizing Ergonomic Polyurethane Wheel in the Kingpinless Plate Caster Model G15 roll on rough floors?

Yes, the UXY Self-Energizing Ergonomic Polyurethane Wheel in the Kingpinless Plate Caster Model G15 is designed to handle uneven floors, climbing over debris and imperfections, showcasing its strength while protecting costly epoxy floors—avoid extreme roughness to preserve caster life.

Are the zinc-plated casters with UXY Self-Energizing Ergonomic Polyurethane Wheel good for standing loads?

The zinc-plated casters with UXY Self-Energizing Ergonomic Polyurethane Wheel can work for standing loads—don’t exceed 60% of the rated capacity for applications parked for prolonged periods, as the tires may cause flat-spotting , significantly reducing the rolling properties of the wheel and reducing the lifespan.

How do I protect the UXY Self-Energizing Ergonomic Polyurethane Wheel in the Kingpinless Plate Caster Model G15 from damage?

Keep the UXY Self-Energizing Ergonomic Polyurethane Wheel in the Kingpinless Plate Caster Model G15 free from shock, overloading, abuse, extreme roughness beyond its capability, and exposure to some chemicals, impact, or heat buildup from continuous usage, which can weaken the bonding agent holding the tire to its aluminum core and affect the zinc-plated construction’s performance on expensive epoxy floors.

Do the UXY Self-Energizing Ergonomic Polyurethane Wheels in the Kingpinless Plate Caster Model G15 leave marks on floors in aerospace settings?

No, the non-marking polyurethane tire build of the UXY Self-Energizing Ergonomic Polyurethane Wheels in the Kingpinless Plate Caster Model G15 is ideal for protecting sensitive epoxy floors in aerospace settings like Boeing, paint booths, and fragile cargo areas, even on uneven surfaces.

Why are the Kingpinless Plate Casters Model G15 with UXY Self-Energizing Ergonomic Polyurethane Wheels good for aerospace and paint booth applications?

The Kingpinless Plate Casters Model G15 with UXY Self-Energizing Ergonomic Polyurethane Wheels roll easier than gray rubber on smooth and uneven floors, withstand impacts and heavy loads while offering a semi-cushioned ride with a flexible crown tread that helps with efficiently changing directions, with the zinc-plated assembly ensuring rust resistance and stability, making them a smart choice for protecting million-dollar epoxy floors, paint booths, and fragile cargo while reducing employee and battery strain.

What’s the load capacity and temperature range for the UXY Self-Energizing Ergonomic Polyurethane Wheel in the Kingpinless Plate Caster Model G15, and how do I adjust for prolonged parking?

The UXY Self-Energizing Ergonomic Polyurethane Wheel in the Kingpinless Plate Caster Model G15 holds up to 1,200 lbs per wheel at room temperature and works from -40°F to 180°F, but don’t exceed 70% of the rated capacity for applications parked for prolonged periods to avoid flat-spotting on sensitive aerospace floors or fragile cargo.

How does the metal pedal brake work on the Kingpinless Plate Caster Model G15 with the UXY Self-Energizing Ergonomic Polyurethane Wheel and zinc-plated assembly?

The metal pedal brake on the Kingpinless Plate Caster Model G15 locks both the wheel and the swivel bearing at the same time, completely immobilizing the zinc-plated assembly and turning it into an extension of the leg, keeping the heavy-duty caster secure for safety in stationary plate-based applications like aerospace setups.

Why is the total lock brake on the Kingpinless Plate Caster Model G15 with UXY Self-Energizing Ergonomic Polyurethane Wheels important for safety in aerospace or paint booth settings?

The total lock brake on the Kingpinless Plate Caster Model G15 with UXY Self-Energizing Ergonomic Polyurethane Wheels locks the swivel and the wheel, completely immobilizing the zinc-plated assembly to prevent the object—like aerospace equipment or paint booth carts—from moving when someone leans against it while working or setting up, ensuring safety during such tasks. Total locking casters are important because in cutting, welding, sawing, or similar tasks, people will lean against the worktable while doing their dangerous cut, and the total lock caster prevents anything in the caster from moving, totally immobilizing wheel and swivel rotation of the caster.

What makes the total lock brake on the Kingpinless Plate Caster Model G15 a trusted safety feature for aerospace and paint booth applications?

The total lock brake on the Kingpinless Plate Caster Model G15 delivers complete immobilization by locking both the wheel and the swivel bearing simultaneously, transforming the caster into a rigid extension of the equipment leg, preventing any movement during critical tasks like maintenance or setup in aerospace and paint booth settings, making it a trusted choice for safety-focused environments.

How does the total lock brake on the Kingpinless Plate Caster Model G15 enhance stability for aerospace or paint booth equipment in industrial settings?

The total lock brake on the Kingpinless Plate Caster Model G15 locks the wheel and swivel bearing at the same time, fully immobilizing the zinc-plated assembly to eliminate any risk of movement, ensuring aerospace or paint booth equipment—like carts or workstations—stays firmly in place during maintenance or setup on costly epoxy floors, providing unmatched stability and safety in high-precision environments. Total locking casters are important because in cutting, welding, sawing, or similar tasks, people will lean against the worktable while doing their dangerous cut, and the total lock caster prevents anything in the caster from moving, totally immobilizing wheel and swivel rotation of the caster.

How does the ergonomic design of the UXY Self-Energizing Ergonomic Polyurethane Wheel in the Kingpinless Plate Caster Model G15 benefit users in aerospace and paint booth settings?

The ergonomic design of the UXY Self-Energizing Ergonomic Polyurethane Wheel in the Kingpinless Plate Caster Model G15, with its flexible polyurethane crown tread and semi-cushioned ride, reduces user fatigue by making it easier to push and pull heavy loads and change directions efficiently, minimizing employee strain and battery strain during manual operation in aerospace and paint booth settings, while handling uneven floors and debris.
