Castor wheel — bottom entry, 5.0 t
EC-CWBE-50-TL / -PL3D model on request
Bolt this 5.0 t bottom-entry castor onto a container's bottom corner casting and tow it across concrete, paving or asphalt without a crane or forklift. The dovetail twistlock interface needs no drilling or welding, and it's available with (-TL) or without (-PL) the twistlock.
Description
At 5.0 t per wheel, this is the heaviest castor in the bottom-entry range, carrying the container on a precision swivel set by a threaded main stem, with 16 mm plate legs welded to the housing to absorb the impact and static loads that powered towing generates. It engages the bottom corner casting through the dovetail twistlock interface — no drilling, no welding — and pairs with the matching castor tow hitch.
Features
- Bottom-entry twistlock engagement — no drilling or welding; interface plates steady the wheel in operation
- Separate SKUs for castors supplied with the twistlock (-TL) and without it (-PL)
- Optional swivel lock available (at 90° intervals)
- Optional steering arm
- Fitted with a bespoke stand to aid moving and installation
Where it is used
For hard, flat, prepared surfaces such as concrete, paving and asphalt. Moving over unpaved or uneven ground calls for the off-road wheel kit instead.
