8" diameter x 3" width pneumatic swivel caster with brake, rated at 250 lbs. Air-filled tire with 360-degree swivel and wheel brake for locking. Zinc plated finish, precision ball bearings, temperature rated -40F to 160F.
Pneumatic casters provide a shock absorbent ride that cushions and protects fragile loads. They offer a smoother ride over uneven difficult terrain. Likewise, pneumatic casters provide better grip and control over challenging debris.
The brake locks the wheel from rotating, holding the cart or equipment stationary when engaged. The foot-operated brake pedal activates with a press and releases with a lift. This keeps loaded carts from rolling on slopes or during loading and unloading operations.
Yes. The 8" x 3" pneumatic swivel-brake and rigid casters share the same 250 lb capacity, wheel height, and tire size. Mount two brake-swivel casters on one end and two rigid casters on the other for a maneuverable cart that locks in place for stationary work.
The 360-degree swivel rotates smoothly under load for steering on rough terrain. The pneumatic tire absorbs shocks that would transfer to the swivel mechanism on hard wheel casters. The zinc plated hardened raceway handles lateral turning forces at the full 250 lb rated load.
Check the tire sidewall for the recommended PSI rating. Most 8" x 3" pneumatic caster tires run between 30-50 PSI. Maintaining proper pressure ensures the rated 250 lb capacity and optimal shock absorption. Under-inflation reduces capacity and causes premature tire wear.
The Pneumatic Swivel with Brake Caster 8" x 3" with 250 lb capacity is priced at $68.37. Ships in stock from Creative Coating Solutions. Includes air-filled tire, zinc plated fork, wheel brake, precision ball bearings. Rated -40F to 160F.
