The Superior Design of Our Kingpinless Casters

At RWM, our Kingpinless™ casters are precision-engineered to facilitate the transport of heavy loads in commercial and industrial environments. When you need a heavy-duty caster with exceptional performance, you can rely on our ISO 9001-certified team to improve efficiency, enhance safety, and expedite material handling.

Why Kingpinless Casters?

Traditional kingpin casters are prone to failure. This is especially true when used in towed applications because this movement focuses the forces of linear travel and rotation through the relatively small area of the kingpin.

At RWM, we recognized that there was a better way to move materials and equipment. We designed the Kingpinless™ caster as a stronger, more durable alternative by joining the cater plate to the caster rig via a single set of high-strength ball bearings that ride within a case-hardened raceway. By eliminating the kingpin, our design distributes the forces more evenly throughout the caster rig.

Features & Benefits of Kingpinless™ Casters

RWM’s industry-leading casters are made in the U.S. and offer exceptional quality and versatility. From coast to coast, the superior design of our Kingpinless™ caster is the industry standard for heavy-duty towing applications and more. Built to last under the heaviest loads, our Kingpinless™ caster design offers numerous advantages, including:

  • High-strength ball bearings: The design incorporates high-strength, long-lasting bearings. This facilitates smooth rotation of the casters, allowing for the efficient movement of the heaviest loads.
  • Case-hardened raceways: Case hardening creates a hardened surface capable of resisting wear from the bearings. The hardening preserves the steel’s flexibility without reducing its ability to absorb shock loads.
  • Offset raceway design: The offset raceway distributes the load more evenly which helps to reduce wear and extend the serviceable lifespan of the bearing.
  • Durable neoprene seals: Neoprene is a long-lasting, flexible material ideally suited for creating reliable seals. Our neoprene seals prevent dirt and moisture penetration, thus effectively protecting against excess wear, corrosion, and premature component failure.
  • Automated pulse welding: We utilize robotic welding to ensure consistent, high-strength welds that are free of defects and won’t crack or cause caster failure.
  • Available PTMEG wheels: Our PTMEG polyurethane wheels are thicker, longer-lasting, and roll smoother than our competitors’ designs. We also offer a comprehensive range of customizable metal, rubber, nylon, plastic, and phenolic wheels.
  • Available zinc or powder coat finishes: Our zinc and powder coat finishes provide superior corrosion and abrasion resistance to other painted finishes.
