4 8" hd caster wheel scaffolding scaffold
The scaffold caster wheel is an 8" cast-iron wheel with a rubber overlay that is 2 inches wide and over an inch of rubber covering the iron caster wheel. There are ball bearings in the pivot mechanism to handle high loading. Double zerk grease fittings. Locking mechanism is different from most others. One way to break the lock that typically happens is stand on it to lock it and it is forced past it's intended design stop point. This is due to the entire body weight being applied. Our design locks in the full down position so you cannot bend the tab and destroy the locking mechanism. Locked it's absolutely rock solid. The locked position prevents wheel pivot and locks to prevent the scaffold caster wheel from rolling. Upper steel body is galvanized. The center of the hole location on stem is 2.5 inches from the base which should fit most brands of scaffold that are 1.69 in OD or 1.625 in OD. Does not fit 1.5 in OD. You will need a 1.25 in stemmed wheel which we also stock.
