160mm Rubber Swivel Casters for Industrial Trolleys
These swivel casters support enquiries for 160mm rubber wheels with a braking requirement on manually moved material-handling equipment. Customers may describe this catalogue size as 6 inch; 160mm is the metric reference for this page, so measure the existing wheel rather than relying on the inch label alone.
Qingdao Gleam Hardwares works with distributors and trolley manufacturers to establish a complete specification, from the floor-contact tread to the mounting interface.
| Specification | Selection details |
|---|---|
| Wheel diameter | 160mm catalogue reference; verify measured diameter and available frame clearance. |
| Wheel construction | Black solid-rubber tread with metal hub; wheel width and hub dimensions confirmed per model. |
| Mounting interface | Provide top-plate bolt pattern or threaded-stem diameter, pitch and length. |
| Brake mechanism | State wheel brake or total-lock requirement and available pedal clearance. |
| Bearing | Bearing or bush arrangement chosen for load, manual travel and maintenance conditions. |
| Installed height and swivel radius | Taken from the selected bracket drawing; do not substitute wheel diameter for total assembly height. |
| Load rating | Established for the complete caster under specified operating conditions; provide loaded trolley weight and layout. |
| Customization | Mounting, finish, packing and identification requirements reviewed before production. |
Select for the Actual Travel Route
Send photographs of floor joints, thresholds and typical loading points along with the trolley specification. Wheel diameter, tread compound and bearing arrangement all influence rolling behaviour. A larger diameter may help with some obstacles, but it must still fit the equipment and suit the floor.
Brake operation should be checked on the assembled trolley. The operator needs access to the pedal through the caster’s swivel movement, and the parking arrangement must suit the equipment’s intended use.
Support for Importers and Equipment Builders
For repeat orders, keep wheel dimensions, bracket details and bearing construction on the same drawing. Label braked and unbraked cartons separately and retain an approved sample. This makes receiving checks clearer and helps reduce substitution errors when replenishing several trolley models.
Ask us to quote the inspection points that matter to your market: dimensional checks, rolling and swivel movement, brake engagement, finish and agreed load testing. Test methods and acceptance criteria can be defined with the project specification.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are 150mm and 160mm casters interchangeable?
Not automatically. Compare wheel diameter, installed height, mount and swivel clearance. Suppliers can use the same approximate inch description for different metric sizes.
Does the brake rating equal the carrying capacity?
Carrying capacity and parking or braking performance are separate requirements. Specify both for the application.
Can I order a smaller alternative?
Compare the 4 inch top-plate caster or 75mm rubber swivel caster and browse the industrial caster range. Use our threaded-stem trolley caster page when the stem fitting is your main selection requirement.
