5D-D600 Darnell Series Heavy Duty Industrial Caster Load Capacity Up to 1500 lbs. • 4-Sided Double Ball Bearing Raceway: Hardened steel ball bearings in the main load bearing and secondary thrust bearings touch the swivel raceway “on all four sides.” This protects the central king pin from shock loading for free swiveling under heavy loads. • Heat-Treated Moving Parts: All moving parts are heat treated to a precise molecular depth and Rockwell hardness. This extends caster life under rugged conditions and shock loads. • Raceway Dust Cap: Dust caps protect the raceway from contamination by dust, dirt, moisture, and other debris. • Thread Guards: Available on most wheels, keeps unwanted materials out of the wheel bearings thus increasing the life of the caster.
