Easy-Swivel Extended-Lead Kingpinless Plate Caster: 4 in Wheel Dia., 650 lb

Easy-swivel extended-lead medium-duty kingpinless plate casters take less effort to start rolling than plate casters with standard-length leads. They also provide better tracking and create less chatter (wobble) once they're moving than plate casters with standard leads, which reduces stress on the casters and extends their life. The casters' wheels have ball bearings that provide minimal resistance to rolling, and the casters' wheel treads are rounded to improve their performance when swiveling and turning. These casters are installed onto the bottom of carts, trucks, and similar equipment used for tow lines or manual-push applications in the automotive industry, heavy manufacturing plants, and other industrial environments. They have zinc-plated steel frames.

Impact-resistant kingpinless plate casters do not use a kingpin to hold the caster together. They distribute weight more evenly, roll more smoothly, tolerate higher speeds, and have better resistance to impacts and shock forces than standard plate casters that are held together with kingpins. The casters' mounting plate attaches to the bottom of machinery, carts, or other equipment. The caseters allow the equipment to roll, which reduces effort when moving or repositioning it. Kingpinless plate casters are available in swivel and rigid versions. Swivel casters can rotate 360°, allowing equipment to change directions while rolling. Rigid casters roll in a straight line. Two rigid casters will often be paired with two swivel casters to allow the equipment to both maneuver around curves and obstacles and maintain a straight course while rolling. Kingpinless plate casters are used in aggressive applications where they will encounter shock forces and heavy loads or be moving at high speeds.
