8" Cast Iron Swivel Caster - ES8X2CIRTBK

About This Caster - ES8X2CIRTBK

Set this 8-inch cast iron swivel on a heavy high-heat cart corner that steers over rough ground and has to stop on a grade.

The tread lock brake presses a pad onto the cast iron wheel to stop it rolling while the swivel keeps turning, holding a heavy parked cart on a slope. At 8 inches, the largest in the E-Line, the cast iron wheel clears expansion joints and holds up from -40 to 600°F for an oven or foundry line. The trade is a hard, noisy wheel that damages a soft floor, so it suits bare concrete. It runs on a roller bearing and bolts on a 4 by 4-1/2-inch top plate.

Ideal applications

• Heavy 8-inch cast iron swivel corners that steer and hold on a grade
• Tread lock stopping the largest cast iron wheel to 600°F
• Swivel braked corner clearing rough ground on concrete

If the corner only needs to steer, the plain ES8X2CIR drops the brake.

Pairs with: plain swivel ES8X2CIR and rigid casters on the other corners.
