8" Metal Swivel Caster - 310FR08501S

About This Caster - 310FR08501S

Set this 8-inch ductile iron swivel on a steering corner of a heavy foundry or oven cart that maneuvers across rough hot floors.

The kingpinless welded raceway carries the heavy shock an 8-inch iron-wheel cart drives through a swivel without a central kingpin to fail, and at 8 inches the large wheel rolls over joints while staying maneuverable. 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

• 8-inch ductile iron swivel steering heavy foundry carts
• Kingpinless welded swivel taking 8-inch iron-wheel shock at 800°F
• Roller-bearing metal swivel clearing joints on bare concrete

For a corner that has to park and stay put, the 310FR08501SFBB adds a face brake.

Pairs with: the 8-inch iron rigid 310FR08501R on the fixed corners and this swivel on the steering corners.
