Technical Specifications









Description
The Maintenance-Free Swivel Caster for Tow Line Applications is built for strength, precision, and ease of movement in demanding industrial environments. Designed for automotive assembly, aerospace, and manufacturing systems, it combines heavy-duty construction with effortless swivel action. A single 8-inch orange polyurethane wheel powers loads up to 1,200 pounds with low push and pull force. The thick, soft 80A crown tread delivers a smooth, quiet ride while rejecting debris that could damage floors or slow performance. Its extended 7.5-inch swivel radius reduces effort by nearly half, allowing easy maneuvering in tight spaces or continuous-motion towline systems.
This caster is made to last. The 4.5-by-6.25-inch mounting plate with a 3/8-inch top plate and 5/16-inch cold-forged steel legs provides exceptional strength and stability. Double welding ensures solid support even under high load conditions. Maintenance-free bearings eliminate downtime and service costs: precision sealed ball bearings in the wheel, tapered roller bearings in the upper raceway for high-speed axial loads, and thrust ball bearings in the lower raceway for radial and thrust support. The result is a caster that performs quietly, rolls easily, and requires no lubrication.
The non-marking polyurethane wheel protects floors while maintaining traction and smooth movement. Available in multiple diameters and widths, it supports up to 2,500 pounds per caster depending on configuration. A higher-grade yellow zinc coating offers long-term corrosion resistance, giving the caster a bright, professional finish that resists moisture and cleaning chemicals. Rated for temperatures from -20°F to 240°F, it performs in hot paint booths, refrigerated spaces, and everything in between.
Applications Use
This caster excels in demanding settings. Here’s where it stands out:
- AGV Equipment: Lowers rolling resistance to cut battery drain, extending runtime in warehouses and factories.
- Automotive Assembly Lines: Handles heavy loads in tight spaces with easy swiveling, boosting efficiency.
- Aerospace Cleanrooms: Non-marking wheels and corrosion-resistant coating meet strict cleanliness standards.
- Automotive Paint Booths: Resists chemicals and high temperatures while protecting floors.
- Tugline Systems: Supports heavy loads in continuous-motion logistics hubs.
- Food Processing Plants: Yellow zinc coating and sealed bearings withstand washdowns and meet hygiene rules.
- Hospitals: Quiet, non-marking wheels protect floors and keep environments calm.
- Manufacturing Floors: Moves heavy machinery or pallets with less effort, improving worker comfort. Its versatility makes it ideal for any industry needing reliable, low-maintenance mobility.
Ideal for AGVs, towline systems, and logistics carts, this caster cuts battery drain by lowering rolling resistance and reducing start-up force. It glides easily through assembly lines, aerospace cleanrooms, and warehouse operations, helping keep your equipment efficient and your maintenance costs low. The quiet rolling action also improves workplace comfort in hospitals, food plants, and production floors where noise control matters.
Why Yellow Zinc?
The yellow zinc coating is a major upgrade. Standard bright zinc plating wears off faster in wet or chemical-heavy settings, causing rust. This higher-grade yellow zinc is thicker, resisting moisture, salts, and cleaning chemicals for more duty cycles. It’s perfect for food processing, marine environments, or outdoor use. The bright yellow finish gives equipment a clean, professional look, setting it apart from standard-duty casters. This coating ensures your casters stay functional and attractive for years.
This maintenance-free swivel caster is a powerhouse for industries needing reliable, low-maintenance mobility. Its robust 3/8-inch top plate, 5/16-inch steel legs, and flexible bolt pattern conquer tough setups. The extended swivel radius and precision bearings cut effort and battery drain, while the yellow zinc coating ensures durability and a sharp look. From AGVs to cleanrooms, it delivers real results. Choose this caster for a long-lasting, hassle-free solution that keeps your operations moving smoothly.
