The HybridKP 45 series caster by Everest Casters and Wheels combines a drop-forged raceway with a cold-forged top plate and kingpin.
Rated at up to 2,000 pounds, the caster’s heavy-duty yoke is ideal for manufacturing and tow-line applications in automotive, food processing and waste equipment industries. Features include an induction hardened and sealed single-ball raceway for tighter tolerance and limited play in swivel motion.
The caster’s cold-forged ASTM 1045 top plate is 0.25-inches thick and attached with a heat-treated, 0.75-inch diameter kingpin to prevent failure. Options include side-lock, tread-lock brakes, four-position swivel lock and 304 stainless steel construction.
