8"x2" Swivel Caster - Colson Hydrotech Defender Series - D4.08109.HF9 BRK7

About This Caster - D4.08109 HF9 BRK7

Choose this 8-inch Defender HydroTech swivel when the heaviest wash-down cart steers freely but the wheel needs holding while crews load it.

The top lock brake stops the wheel from rolling while leaving the swivel free to rotate, so a parked cart stays put yet can still be nudged into position by hand without releasing the brake. Steering stays light through the swivel head, with a 6-1/2-inch swivel radius to allow, and the tall 8-inch wheel clears the biggest obstacles of the series. The blue HydroTech alloy wheel is a corrosion-resistant tread built for the wettest, most chemical-heavy bays, on a roller bearing and a stainless steel frame for full wash-down duty. It serves from -45 to 180°F.

Ideal applications

• The heaviest 8-inch wash-down carts that steer freely but hold to load
• Pack-out lines where the wheel locks yet the cart still repositions by hand
• Chemical bays that would pit or swell a standard wheel under load

Confirm the roller-bearing load class, and allow for the 6-1/2-inch swivel radius plus room for the top-lock pedal, before ordering.

Pairs with: the 8-inch HydroTech rigid D4.08108 HF9 at the rear for a steer-and-hold cart.

Wrong fit? Need the swivel locked too, not just the wheel? See the 8-inch HydroTech total-lock swivel D4.08109 HF9 BRK4 in the Colson collection.
