Light and General Duty Casters

Colson has augmented its best-in-class custom caster product offerings to include the market for casters with broader and less specialized applications.

Colson Caster Corporation, the world’s leading manufacturer of standard and special application caster and wheel products, has introduced two new caster lines to serve lighter duty markets. Colson has augmented its best-in-class custom caster product offerings to include the market for casters with broader and less specialized applications. The first two sets of its new low-cost casters include the L Series for light duty and the G Series for more general applications.  

The new L Series, for light duty applications up to 150 pound capacity, such as point of purchase, hospitals, and furniture design and manufacturing sites, features three lines of casters with size options from 2 to 5 inch wheel diameter.  The standard models are equipped with riveted axles and brake models feature nut and bolt assembly with optional top locking brakes for most models. The threaded stem line has tread width from Âľ inch to 15/16 inch as does the new grip ring stem model series.  All L Series casters have full double ball bearing raceway construction for better performance and durability, and are zinc plated for corrosion resistance and environmental ruggedness. L Series models are available with either TPR or Polyolefin wheels.

The new G Series casters are intended for general duty use as well, such as janitorial carts, AV equipment, and foodservice handling, but with an increased load capacity of up to 350 pounds.  Again, the models are all zinc plated for corrosive environments.  The G models come in sizes from 2 to 4 inch wheel diameter and have a full selection of wheel types based upon need.  Standard models feature Âľ inch to 1 5/16 inch tread width and riveted axles on standard models or nut and bolt assembly for brake models.  Compression brakes are available on swivel models within the Series and nickel plated rivets help prevent swivel binding.

The new L and G Series casters both carry the industry’s leading 3-Year warranty, are NSF approved and RoHS compliant, and are manufactured and tested to the same rugged standards as Colson’s existing product lines of more than 35,000 casters and related products.  For more information on the new, low cost L and G Series, or any other Colson product, call 800.643.5515 or
