About Kingpinless Casters

Kingpinless casters replace the traditional kingpin design with a sealed swivel raceway. Eliminates the #1 wear point on conventional casters — the kingpin nut loosening or breaking under shock load. 2-3x longer service life than conventional designs.

How to Choose

1. Why Kingpinless

Conventional casters wear out at the kingpin under shock load. Kingpinless removes the kingpin — sealed swivel raceway with hardened precision bearings instead. Significantly longer service life.

2. Capacity Range

1,200 lb (4" wheel) up to 3,800 lb (8" wheel). For higher capacity, see our extreme duty and super duty kingpinless casters.

3. Wheel Material Options

Polyurethane on iron is standard. Forged steel for extreme abrasion. Phenolic for high-temp. All available in kingpinless configuration.

4. Plate Size Standard

4 x 4-1/2 plate is the heavy duty kingpinless standard. Use larger plates for larger wheel diameters and capacities.
