Hard, flat, prepared surfaces — concrete, paving and asphalt. For unpaved or uneven ground see the off-road wheel kit in this section.
Developed for the severe conditions of powered towing — abnormally large impact loads as well as static loads — the castor range carries the container on a precision swivel. A threaded main stem sets preload, and 16 mm plate legs are welded to the housing. The castor locks into the bottom corner casting via the dovetail twistlock interface, and pairs with the castor tow hitch in this section.
