Rubber castor wheel — 2.25 t/wheel

A heavy-duty rubber-tyred castor for rough ground — a 22-inch wheel on a swivel with a dovetail twistlock mechanism, so a loaded container can be moved without a crane or forklift. Rated 2.25 t per wheel, supplied as a set of four.

Description

This is the rough-ground end of the castor range: a 22-inch rubber-tyred wheel on a swivel castor with a dovetail twistlock mechanism, so it installs into the corner casting without drilling or welding. Each wheel is rated 2.25 t and it's specified as a set of four — 9 000 kg at up to 10 km/h, or 5 000 kg up to 20 km/h. The rubber tyre absorbs shock loads that would break a solid-wheel castor on rougher surfaces.

Features

• Rubber tyre absorbs shock on rougher yard surfaces than a solid castor can take
• Dovetail twistlock fixing — installs without drilling or welding
• Rated 2.25 t per wheel; a set of four carries 9 000 kg, with capacity falling as towing speed rises
• Heavy-duty steel construction throughout

Where it is used

For moving loaded containers around yards, depots and construction sites at controlled speeds, where a crane or forklift isn't available.
