8″ Kinetic® Rigid Caster with Integrated Toe Guard – 28KN80JL63174Y

Description

In a material handling environment, equipment that’s cast as one piece holds up better than equipment bolted together. The 28KN80JL63174Y puts a steel barrier between the wheel and the foot. It’s an 8-inch Kinetic® polyurethane rigid caster, with the toe guard cast directly into the yoke as part of the casting.

Cast as one piece of steel from the foundry, the toe guard inherits the structural strength of the yoke itself. There is no welded joint and no fastener in the load path — the 1/4-inch steel guard is part of the caster geometry.

The 8-inch Kinetic® wheel uses B&C’s proprietary polyurethane blend. Rated up to 2,000 lbs at this size, non-marking, well-suited to interior plant and warehouse floors.

Mounted on the rear corners of a cart, the 28-series rigid holds direction while the 27-series swivels lead the cart through turns. The pairing gives operators a cart that steers cleanly and tracks straight under load instead of crabbing sideways. Double ball raceway, 5/8-inch kingpin, grease fitting for maintainability, bright zinc finish, NSF listed.

Assembled in-house at our Indiana facility.
