28PF08228SLFBK is a 8" x 2" wide wheel brake caster with a heavy-duty Polyurethane-on-Iron wheel and 4-1/2" x 4'' top plate designed and constructed for highly ergonomic and quiet operation. Featuring a USA-made rig with a sealed-precision-ball-bearing raceway and extended lead, this caster provides effortless mobility and is extremely quiet, providing a safer working environment for your employees. The caster requires no maintenance for life, featuring sealed precision ball bearings in wheel and swivel section (for swivel models). 1/4" steel construction with fully welded legs (welded inside and outside to yoke base) allow these highly ergonomic casters to perform at higher load capacities than traditional casters, even with the extended lead – which helps smoothly and easily align the casters when turning while also reducing unwanted chatter from towed or faster moving equipment. The heavy-duty and ergonomic polyurethane wheel tread is securely bonded to a precision machined and heavy-duty cast iron core, featuring precision ball bearings for smooth and reliable mobility under both manual and heavy towed applications (95 Shore A hardness with radius tread). The included face brake provides easy to engage positive braking action against the wheel face, ensuring a solid lock. A swivel lock is included to allow for easy steering; simply engage the swivel into one of the four positions to easily turn the swivel caster in a rigid caster (release to turn it right back into a free swiveling caster). This maintenance-free and ergonomic series also features:
• Maintenance Free: Maintenance free swivel section. No lubrication ever needed
• Ergonomic Extended Lead: Extended lead is standard, improving ergonomics, reducing push / pull force
• Top Plate & Yoke Base: Cold formed from ¼" steel plate. Yoke base is notched for field installable 4-position swivel lock
• Legs: 1/4" steel, formed to increase strength and welded on inside and outside of yoke base
• Finish: All parts, except wheel, are zinc plated
• Axle: 1/2" diameter solid axle with lock nut
