Ergonomic PU swivel castor with brake 160 mm - reinforced - ball bearing - 500 kg
Ergonomically developed
This wheel reduces friction with the surface by 30% compared to traditional polyurethane or rubber types. The wheel is ergonomically designed with specific properties to move heavy loads effortlessly.
- Elastic polyurethane: The material bounces back during movement, which provides extra energy and extends the rolling time.
- Bulged tread: Contact with the surface is limited, requiring less force to roll or pivot.

Shock resistant
The reinforced swivel fork and thick, ergonomic polyurethane tire are designed for intensive use of heavy-duty swivel casters with brakes. These casters are ideal for heavily loaded transport carts that are subject to vibrations and lateral forces. Thanks to the double, hardened ball race and the sturdy swivel fork that is riveted at multiple points, there is no play during use. The swivel castor has a short protruding brake that simultaneously blocks both the wheel and the swivel without play.
Wear-resistant and long-lasting use
The polyurethane tire is wear-resistant and suitable for rough surfaces such as concrete floors with steel shavings, as well as for environments with dust, oil or other contaminants. The elastic polyurethane allows the wheels to move smoothly over uneven surfaces. The reinforced swivel is well lubricated and can easily be re-lubricated via the grease nipple. The thick swivel is almost completely sealed and has an additional red dust ring to protect it from dirt and dust.
