B&P Folding Nose Kits · 30 Inch

Industrial tread compounds treads dominate this selection for warehouse carts, racks, and everyday plant fixtures
Use kingpinless or heavy plate series when shock loads keep shearing kingpin races. When floors see chemicals or washdowns, prefer sealed bearings and non-absorbent wheel compounds. These medium-duty options cover everyday warehouse carts, racks, and everyday plant fixtures without jumping to extreme forged series.

2 options in this exact size and spec. See all casters by load capacity and mount type › or call 844-439-4335 for a cross-reference.

How to choose the right B&P Folding Noses

Match your load capacity, wheel surface, and handle style to your daily route. Start with capacity, then wheel type, then handle ergonomics.
  • Load capacity: B&P standard folding noses are rated 300-2,000 lb depending on series. Pick capacity 25% over peak load weight.
  • Wheel type: Pneumatic for outdoor/rough surfaces. No-flat for indoor concrete. Balloon cushion for protected indoor + outdoor mixed use.
  • Handle style: Loop for general use. Single Pin Grip for taller operators. Vertical Grip for narrow aisles. Double Grip for heavy-load control.
  • Brake option: Disc brake or tread brake required for incline routes over 5 degree slope.

Engineer Tip: When B&P beats the competition

From my decade specifying material handling equipment, I keep going back to B&P for one reason. Their extruded aluminum axle brackets have a lifetime warranty. I have seen Wesco and Magliner trucks come back for axle replacement after 18 months in the field. B&P trucks I specified in 2019 are still running. For route delivery operations doing 100+ loads a day, the cost-per-load math always favors B&P. — Jordan Wilson, CasterHQ Engineering Lead
