75mm Red PP Casters With Brakes Shopping Cart Caster Wheel

Features Analysis

• Wheel Diameter – 3 Inches (75mm):
  Compact size that balances a low mounting height with the ability to roll over minor floor imperfections. Suitable for a wide range of machinery and equipment.

• Single Ball Bearing:
  The caster is equipped with one precision ball bearing, typically located in the wheel hub. This reduces rolling friction, allowing smooth movement with moderate loads. (The swivel section may use a simple raceway rather than a second bearing.)

• Double Brake System:
  A total‑lock mechanism that simultaneously engages:
  – Wheel brake – prevents rolling.
  – Swivel brake – prevents swiveling.
  Activated by a single pedal or lever, it ensures the equipment remains completely stationary when parked.

• Blue‑White Zinc Resistant Coating:
  The metal components (top plate, swivel housing, fork, and brake parts) are electroplated with a blue‑white zinc finish. This provides:
  – Corrosion resistance against moisture, humidity, and mild chemicals.
  – Durability to prevent rust and extend the caster’s life in demanding environments.

Functional Benefits

• Smooth Rolling with Moderate Loads:
  The single ball bearing in the wheel reduces rolling resistance, making it easier to push or pull equipment. While not as effortless as double‑bearing designs, it offers reliable performance for many industrial and commercial applications.

• Total Lock Safety:
  The double brake locks both rolling and swiveling, making the equipment rock‑solid when parked. Essential for tasks requiring absolute stability—such as loading, servicing, or operating machinery on inclines.

• Corrosion Resistance for Longevity:
  The blue‑white zinc coating protects steel parts from rust, oxidation, and exposure to water or mild cleaning agents. This caster withstands washdowns, humidity, and workshop conditions better than uncoated alternatives.

• Low Maintenance:
  The sealed ball bearing requires no lubrication, and the corrosion‑resistant coating eliminates the need for painting or rust prevention.

Ideal Applications

This caster is best suited for medium‑duty machinery and equipment where a balance of smooth mobility, positive locking, and corrosion resistance is required.
