6" Top Plate Rigid Caster with Solid Elastomer Wheel - 170SE06228R

About This Caster - 170SE06228R

Reach for this 6-inch Empire 170 rigid with a precision ball bearing when a straight-line cart needs a cushioned wheel that clears rough floors and rolls with the least operator effort.

The taller 6-inch wheel bridges cracks and drains while the precision ball bearing keeps push effort low. The wheel is solid elastomer, a tough rubber-like compound that absorbs shock and runs quietly without ever going flat, grey and non-marking on finished floors. A loaded cart breaks away and moves with a lighter touch than a roller bearing allows, easing repetitive trips, and the caster carries up to 1,000 pounds and takes -40 to 230°F. The rigid fork tracks straight only on a kingpinless welded raceway, bolts on a 4 by 4-1/2-inch top plate at a 7-1/2-inch mount height, and is zinc plated.

Ideal applications

• 6-inch ball-bearing solid elastomer rigid up to 1,000 lb with easy break-away
• Cushioned non-marking 6-inch wheel clearing drains with low push effort
• Fixed 6-inch ball-bearing elastomer wheel for -40 to 230°F that never goes flat

For a wheel that steers instead of tracking straight, the 170SE06228S swivels.

Pairs with: two of these rigids on the fixed end and two SE ball-bearing swivels on the steering end.
