6" Metal Swivel Caster - 310FR06501S

About This Caster - 310FR06501S

Set this 6-inch ductile iron swivel on a steering corner of a foundry, oven, or freezer cart that has to maneuver under extreme heat or cold.

The kingpinless design is what lets this swivel survive the duty: the precision-machined raceway is welded to the legs with no central kingpin to fail under the shock and weight an iron-wheel cart drives through a swivel. The ductile iron metal wheel carries the highest loads and holds from -100 to 800°F. The trade is that an iron wheel is hard, noisy, and damages a soft floor, so it belongs on bare concrete or steel. It is built on the American-made heat-treated laser-cut steel frame, rides on a roller bearing, and bolts on a 6-1/4 by 4-1/2-inch top plate.

Ideal applications

• 6-inch ductile iron swivel steering foundry or freezer carts
• Kingpinless welded swivel taking iron-wheel shock at 800°F
• Roller-bearing metal swivel for the heaviest loads on concrete

For a corner that has to park and stay put, the 310FR06501SFBB adds a face brake.

Pairs with: the 6-inch iron rigid 310FR06501R on the fixed corners and this swivel on the steering corners.
