Overview

The 65 Series hot forged heavy duty casters are heavier and stronger than cold forged casters of similar dimensions. The hot forged, machined raceway with an integral threaded kingpin provides a rugged swivel section for abusive application in the heavy duty range. The legs are laser cut from high quality sheet steel and formed on a CNC press brake to provide added strength when side loading or shock loading becomes a priority. The legs are then welded to the yoke base, both inside and outside, utilizing pulse welding technology to assure great penetration while providing added stability. The long wearing characteristics of the 60 Series caster allow it to outperform cold forged or stamped casters in continuous swivel scenarios.

Applications

Ideal for heavy manually moved loads or for medium duty power drawn equipment, bakery dough troughs, tow line conveyors, heavy duty bakery racks, production dollies, automotive body dollies, gantry cranes, lift truck battery handling equipment, conveyor systems, and automated guided vehicles.
