Caster Concepts, Inc.

Features Vertical mounted spring (VMS) casters offer the highest flexibility in design. Each caster features springs that are retained on threaded rod ends for pre-load capabilities. Pre-loading the caster causes the caster to stand strong to a predetermined load before any deflection. The VMS caster can be built with standard components and varying capacities by simply changing out the springs. Options Available with dual wheels and pneumatic tires. Swivel locks and face contact brakes are available, consult factory. Applications VMS casters are ideal for jet engine dollies, aircraft jacks, in-plant trailers, trash gondolas, lift truck stabilizer casters, revolving signs and parade floats.

Features Dual wheel casters are designed for heavy duty, extra heavy duty and super duty applications. Constructed of our popular hot forged C-1045 steel swivel sections, these dual wheel casters offer the highest possible capacity at the lowest overall height. The casters feature legs that are welded to a unique skirt design for greater strength and longevity. Benefits The large footprint provides for a greater distribution of load on the floor. Additionally, the larger casters have a vertical center leg to further enhance the load distribution. Less effort is needed when changing direction as the design allows the wheels to rotate at variable rates to compensate for the shorter radius in the arc. Applications Excellent for tow lines, industrial platform trucks, rugged industrial functions and other severe abuse applications.

Features Our popular shock absorbing casters have swivel sections that are constructed of high alloy steel and are precision machined for close tolerences and long life. These casters feature legs of thick section plate steel. Integrally forged kingpins are available from 3/4� to 1-1/4� in diameter. In normal configurations, these swivel sections will carry 3 to 4 times their listed capacity. Benefits The high strength chrome vanadium springs provide longer life through constant flexing and compressing. The spring compression starts with as little as 25 pounds loading per caster resulting in cushioned loads and quiet empty returns. The long swivel lead reduces excessive shimmy and vibration while towing. Applications Shock absorbing casters are ideal for jet engine dollies, aircraft jacks, in-plant trailers, trash gondolas, lift truck stabilizer casters, revolving signs and parade floats.

Features The complete line of single or dual-wheel pneumatic casters offers load carrying capacities from 320 pounds to 7,260. The swivel sections are constructed of C-1045 hot forged steel with double row ball bearing swivels for long service life. The 80 Series and larger casters have tapered thrust bearings in the swivel. The legs are continuously welded both inside and outside for added strength. Standard: Wheels 16� and larger are supplied with high-speed tapered bearings standard. Benefits These casters offer the greatest possible protection to both loads and floors. The pneumatic tires cushion the load and roll over obstructions with ease. These casters provide longer wheel life, less maintenance and high shock absorbency. The long swivel offset aids in swiveling and tracking in towing applications. When the caster is subjected to towing, tapered bearings are recommended. Applications Excellent shock absorbing benefits make these casters ideal for uneven floors and indoor and outdoor rough terrain They are ideal on aircraft ground support equipment, helicoptor dollies, roof maintenance equipment, mobile construction shelters, and other equipment carrying electronics or other highly sensitive materials.

Features The flanged wheels are constructed of premium cast iron, ductile iron, or forged steel for high strength and long wear. These wheels are designed to operate on a steel track for minimal guidance and rolling effort. The flanged wheel casters are rigid casters used for locating fixtures in a precise position for indexing through a work cycle.Applications Applications include production lines, foundry cooling lines, mobile cranes, amusement parks, trollies, autoclave tooling, etc.

Features V-groove caster swivel sections are hot forged from C-1045 steel. The wheels are highly adaptable and can operate on angle iron track or on normal floor surfaces. A relief groove at the base of the “V� equalizes the load to each face of the angle track. In addition, all wheel faces and “V� grooves are machined concentric to the bore for proper tracking. The wheel bearings are either straight roller bearings or precision tapered roller bearings. Applications V-groove wheels are used for exceptionally heavy loads where precise alignment or indexing of equipment is necessary. These casters are capable of guiding industrial ovens, paint booths and other similar equipment.
