The RK 48 Series keeps textiles rolling smoothly and efficiently from the factory floor to the storeroom shelf!
Minimizing thread and fiber buildup is essential in textile applications. To that end, the RK 48 series caster is specifically designed to offer reliable performance for textile applications. Compared to conventional casters, the RK 48 eliminates 50% of thread buildup. We have also designed this caster to use the Freedom 48 Series’ completely maintenance-free raceway, meaning the RK 48 delivers ultra-quiet, precise, and maintenance-free operation, all with ease of movement. With a capacity of up to 500 pounds, the half-inch diameter bolt and zinc plated finish ensure that each caster is capable of delivering the performance your textile operations require.
