Typical applications

Low-headroom container moves; workshops, factories and buildings with restricted height above the container.

Description

Where a container must move under a roof, gantry or mezzanine that leaves no room for bottom-entry castors, the side-entry bracket mounts the castor on the side of the container instead: with 1.8 t or 3.5 t flanged castors the container lifts just 50–100 mm, and with the 5.0 t castors the gap under the container is approximately 100 mm. The bracket adjusts through 0–25 mm and the same bracket is used for all castor sizes, with a separate SKU for each capacity.
