28PF06228SLFBKTO is a 6" x 2" wide wheel brake caster with a heavy-duty Polyurethane-on-Iron wheel and 4-1/2" x 4'' top plate designed and constructed for highly ergonomic and quiet operation. Featuring a USA-made rig with a large and industrial sealed-precision-ball-bearing raceway and extended swivel lead, this caster provides effortless mobility and is extremely quiet, providing a safer working environment for your employees. The caster requires no maintenance for life, reducing potential downtime and a lifetime of maintenance costs. 1/4" thick steel construction with fully welded legs (welded inside and outside to yoke base) allow these highly ergonomic casters to perform at higher load capacities than traditional casters, even with the extended lead – which helps smoothly and easily align the casters when turning while also reducing unwanted chatter from towed or manually moved equipment. The heavy-duty and ergonomic polyurethane wheel tread is securely bonded to a precision machined and heavy-duty cast iron core, featuring precision ball bearings for smooth and reliable mobility under both manual and heavy towed applications (95 Shore A hardness with radius tread). The included face brake provides easy-to-engage positive braking action against the wheel face, ensuring a solid lock. The provided toe guard helps to protect toes and other debris from being run over and is cleanly integrated into the laser-cut legs. A swivel lock is included to allow for easy steering; simply engage the swivel into one of the four positions to easily turn the swivel caster in a rigid caster (release to turn it right back into a free swiveling caster). This maintenance-free and ergonomic series also features:
-
Maintenance Free: Maintenance free swivel section; no lubrication ever needed
