Large, high-capacity casters, with wheels up to 3" wide and overall heights to
15-1/2". Kingpinless design means they swivel better under massive loads and last longer. Casters are available in multiple wheel options.
Available with a wide variety of wheels in 3" width. Beefier legs and extended leads
make 76 Series an excellent option for towing operation in automotive assembly plants, tire manufacturing and heavy-duty,
demanding applications. Swivel sections are supplied with a lubrication fitting for field maintenance. The 76 series is case-hardened for extended service life,
and will not crack like flimsier, through-hardened or induction-hardened casters.

Cast Iron Wheels are exceptionally long wearing, have tremendous
resistance to shock, and are a good choice for high capacity loads in
warehousing and manufacturing. Recommended for rough concrete, wood
block, and littered floors.
Forged steel wheels provide maximum strength and durability—even under loads
as heavy as 7,000 pounds. They are virtually indestructible within
their capacity range. Use them in the toughest applications and on the
most demanding floors, with the heaviest loads.
Highly resistant to extreme temperatures, Nylon HD wheels are extra heavy duty. Able to take loads up to 10,000 lbs and will not chunk or separate under load. Resilient to bearing and friction heating. Smooth rolling and kind to floors.
The Omega wheel can eliminate the need for spring casters. It achieves
its high capacities and enhanced impact-absorbing ability with a
patented web/spoke design. It flexes to cushion the load then rebounds
to original shape. Resists tearing and chunking, and won't pick up metal
chips.
Phenolic wheels (also called Durastan) provide excellent service even in wet and
cold applications. They resist degradation, deterioration, and
corrosion from oil, grease, and commonly used acids and solvents.
Recommended for all types of floors except resilient tiles.
Also known as mold-on rubber, the rubber on iron wheel is
floor-protective, provides long tread life, operates quietly, and is
highly resilient. Suggested for almost all kinds of floors and for a
variety of applications. It's well-suited for towline applications of
the kind often found in freight terminals or warehouses.
Solid Urethane Wheels are designed primarily for applications involving
high moisture. Injection-molded urethane, this wheel
provides extended service in moisture applications that normally destroy
conventionally bonded wheels.
Capacities rival those of steel wheels. Careful attention is paid during the
bonding process to assure that each wheel meets high performance
standards. UI wheels are non-marking, and resistant to abrasion,
chemicals, and oil. These wheels will typically outlast rubber wheels.
Forged V-Groove wheels can bear loads 30% greater than cast iron V-Groove wheels and are well suited for shock loading. They are machined with a 90 degree groove for operation on
inverted angle iron track and are used to control the flow of a load.
High-strength cast iron V-Groove wheels are machined with a 90 degree groove for operation on
inverted angle iron track. They are used to control the flow of a load
(into an oven, between machines, over long distances, or where
"production line" sequences must be maintained.)

A mainstay in tire manufacturing (and many other applications):
Typical applications include dollies, utility carts, tow line and platform trucks. This caster is also ideal for: tow lines, shock load applications and abusive conditions, production line dollies and trucks used in various industries including but not limited to: boat and ship molding and building, automotive, aerospace, metal fabricating, metal forging, heavy machinery and equipment, military equipment, mobile homes, etc. Tractor pulled trailers, extreme duty platform trucks and material handling carts, air cargo and ground support equipment, storage tanks, gantries and heavy duty processing equipment, coliseum and gymnasium equipment, shipping/receiving carts, warehousing and freight terminal dollies and carts, and countless other heavy duty applications.
The patented Kingpinless™ raceway eliminates the number one cause of caster failure
RWM's patented offset precision-machined raceway exerts radial force evenly where there is full contact between the ball bearing and the raceway. RWM's unique design adds more mass at key points. This, plus more thorough heat treatment, provides additional strength and combats brinelling into the core material.
This means longer, better service life in demanding industrial applications
The inline positioning of many competitive raceways (as opposed to the offset positioning RWM uses) creates a direct hammering effect via the ball bearings, which are centered on the tangent of the two raceways, stressing, and eventually eroding the raceway. The inevitable result is a loose fit and progressive swivel failure. Even double raceways are subject to these hammering forces.
- No direct "hammering" forces on the intersections of the raceways for vastly reduced raceway wear
- Elimination of the "pull apart" forces of stress in the swivel section - a huge issue in towing applications
- Smoother swiveling action and better maneuverability
- Longer service life - maintenance is easier and less frequent
- Extra impact resistance and high radial force absorption
