Description
AGV Kingpinless High Performance Swivel Caster with Extended Long Lead unleashes powerhouse performance, driving 1,440 lbs. with dual 6″ gray polyurethane wheels built for aerospace and automotive production. The hard 65D Shore hardness crown tread slashes rolling resistance for smooth towline runs, while high efficiency precision sealed ball bearings and a kingpinless swivel deliver agile, high-speed handling in AGV equipment. Featuring a corrosion-resistant yellow zinc finish, tapered roller bearings for axial thrust, and thrust ball bearings for heavy-load stability, this swivel caster cuts battery drain across manufacturing floors and logistics hubs. Trusted in aerospace and automotive production, the AGV-DW6X-GR-SWIVEL sets the bar for precision and durability.
Dual gray polyurethane wheels roll with unmatched ease, their differential action enabling sharp turns for AGV setups and towline systems in high-traffic warehouses. The 65D polyurethane and aluminum hubs act as heatsinks, curbing internal heat buildup for steady performance in manufacturing and logistics shifts. A robust 4-1/2″x6-1/4″ mounting plate with a flexible bolt pattern and a 6-7/8” swivel radius conquer tight spaces, while maintenance-free bearings ensure zero upkeep. From automotive assembly lines to aerospace cleanrooms, the AGV-DW6X-GR-SWIVEL hauls 1,400 lbs. with low-effort reliability. Ready for top-tier performance? Call 1-800-501-3808 for a quote!

- Lower deflection (minimizing tread contact with floor) due to harder 65D polyurethane, reducing effort and energy needed to start motion and preserving AGV battery life.
- Reduced rolling resistance thanks to the harder tire and crowned tread shape.
- Increased Capacity from harder polyurethane wheels
- Lower internal heat buildup as the harder polyurethane experiences less internal flexing than a softer tread polyurethane during continuous AGV shifts.
- Dual wheels bonded to massive aluminum hubs, acting as heatsinks to help the polyurethane dissipate heat over long AGV shifts.
- Dual Wheels exhibit differential action making changing directions from a stopped position much easier
- Wheels come equipped with massive 6207 precision ball bearings which help GREATLY reduce the amount of force needed to start motion and also can handle higher speeds and greater load capacities from the electric driven motion of AGVs (larger ball bearings also dissipate heat better and make less noise while rotating with their larger top hats that they come with)
- Yellow Zinc Plated Finish for a distinguished, corrosion-resistant look
- 3/8″ Thick Top Plate with Legs made from durable 5/16″ steel
- Swivel Device with Thrust Ball Bearings and Tapered Roller Bearings for maximum performance
- Tapered Roller Bearings on Upper Raceway to handle axial thrust from high-speed operation
- Thrust Ball Bearings on Lower Raceway to manage combined radial thrust from heavy loads
- Extended Swivel Radius reduces effort needed to swivel
Ideal for Towline Applications and AUTOMATED GUIDED VEHICLES

What is the wheel diameter of the AGV-DW6X-GR-SWIVEL?
The wheel diameter is 6 inches and there are two 1 inch wide wheels.
What material are the wheels made of?
The wheels are made of gray polyurethane with a hardness of 70-75D on the Shore scale.
What type of bearings are used in the caster?
The wheels use 6207 precision ball bearings, while the swivel mechanism features tapered roller bearings for axial thrust and thrust ball bearings for heavy-load stability.
What are the dimensions of the mounting plate?
The mounting plate measures 4-1/2 inches by 6-1/4 inches.
What is the swivel radius of the caster?
The swivel radius is 6-7/8 inches.
What is a kingpinless swivel design, and what are its advantages?
A kingpinless swivel design uses a ball bearing raceway instead of a traditional kingpin, reducing wear, increasing load capacity, and improving maneuverability for heavy-duty and high-speed applications.
What does “Extended Long Lead” mean in the caster’s description?
“Extended Long Lead” refers to an extended swivel lead, which enhances stability and reduces the effort required to swivel the caster.
Is this caster suitable for AGV applications?
Yes, it is specifically designed for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and towline applications.
What industries commonly use this caster?
It is trusted in aerospace and automotive production, as well as in manufacturing floors and logistics hubs.
What are the benefits of the dual wheel design?
The dual wheels provide differential action for easier turning and act as heatsinks to dissipate heat during long shifts.
How does the crowned tread affect performance?
The crowned tread reduces rolling resistance, enabling smoother operation in towline applications.
What is the finish of the caster?
It has a corrosion-resistant yellow zinc finish.
Does the caster require maintenance?
No, it is equipped with maintenance-free bearings.
How does the caster help reduce battery drain in AGVs?
The harder polyurethane wheels and crowned tread minimize rolling resistance, reducing the energy needed for motion and preserving AGV battery life.
