Casters and WheelsView all

  • Caster Accessories

    Synthetic expander adapters suitable for use with Blickle LRA Series light-duty and synthetic casters. Equipped with a corrosion-resistant clamping bolt   

  • Caster Brakes

    Designed to temporarily convert swivel casters into rigid casters for keeping the equipment stable and restricting unwanted swivelling motion. Also facilitates retro-fitting since no structural adjustments of the swivel caster bracket are required

  • Caster Wheels

    Pallet truck rollers and heavy-duty caster wheels tested on a rotating bench, in accordance with DIN EN 12532, to deliver speeds up to 4 km/hr and a maximum load capacity of 6000 lb. Can withstand temperatures ranging from 15 to 28 deg C. Spring-loaded casters are particularly suitable for vibration-free transport

  • Dual Wheel Casters

    Provides higher weight capacity per caster and increased productivity with enhanced stability, as compared to standard casters. Designed to spread the load uniformly across the two wheels, thereby reducing the load per square inch

  • Plate Casters

    Stainless-steel casters featuring brackets and a noise-absorbing nylon / polyurethane wheel with a rubber damping ring. Capable of delivering a smooth running performance on even floors with high abrasion resistance

  • Pneumatic Casters

    Rigid / swivel casters designed to offer maximum operational comfort and low rolling resistance on uneven surfaces. Made of rubber for handling most aggressive substances, except oil and temperatures ranging between -30 and 50 deg C   

  • Stem Casters

    Dual-wheel / hollow Kingpin casters featuring synthetic wheel construction ideal for use on furniture and medical equipment. Feature impact-resistant treaded surfaces made of thermoplastic rubber elastomer with a rated hardness of 85 degrees Shore A

About Blickle

The Blickle catalogue includes light & heavy duty wheels and casters, synthetic casters, electrically conductive & antistatic wheels, heat-resistant & spring-loaded casters, guide rollers, tires & press-on bands and related accessories. Blickle plate casters are available in rubber / nylon / polyurethane construction, making them ideal for different applications. Premium rubber casters ensure good floor preservation, while allowing easy manoeuvring and operational comfort. Nylon casters are resistant to aggressive substances and provide excellent rolling properties on smooth surfaces. These units are commonly used in stainless steel containers and machinery, such as laboratory equipment. Polyurethane models are vibration-absorbing, non-marking, non-staining and highly abrasion-resistant, ideal for loads that remain stationary for long periods but are still easily movable when required. These plate casters consist of a mounting plate that provides easy attachment to the equipment or item to be moved. Blickle dual wheels are tested in accordance with DIN 12532 with extended brakes to avoid thermal overloading at very high speeds. These wheels feature nylon construction for high chemical resistance & moisture absorption and have operating temperatures of -20 to 80 degrees Celsius and a two-wheel design for enhanced mobility & better stability as opposed to single-wheel units.

Things To Consider

Cross-Reference Alternatives

Blickle MPNs cross individual references to the equivalent Albion, Hamilton and Revvo. So, if you're looking for a competitor item that is either out of stock or obsolete, chances are Raptor Supplies has the equivalent Blickle products available.

Shipping

These Blickle products range from small to large sizes. They may require careful packaging as some items might get damaged while shipping. Hence, these Blickle items are delivered by courier shipment and air freight for minimum downtime.

Blickle Competitive Advantages

Blickle ErgoMove

The electric drive systems of the Blickle ErgoMove Series allow quick and easy manoeuvring of heavy-duty loads in large industrial facilities or in applications where manual push / pull activity decreases material handling performance due to physical strain or body fatigue. Equipment and transport units can be quickly upgraded with a plug & play electric drive, steering and braking assistance. They consist of a cockpit with two handles and two rotary joysticks, allowing maximum control over the equipment and electrically-driven casters to ensure smooth movement no matter the trolley weight. They can withstand loads up to 4000 kg and enable automatic charging of batteries via the control unit during operation, thus eliminating downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between swivel castors and fixed casters?

Swivel casters are mounted on a swivel joint and allow for 360-degree rotation to provide easy manoeuvrability in any direction. Fixed casters, on the other hand, do not swivel and make it easier to move machinery / equipment in a particular direction without deviating.

What is the function of super-elastic rubber tires?

These tires are made of a rubber core with reinforced steel wires that keep them seated securely on the rim, even under heavy loads. They also feature a highly elastic cushion layer that keeps the temperature of the units low when transporting loads at high speed. Their resistant tread makes them puncture-proof & maintenance-free, ensuring smooth performance and long service life.

How are directional locks operated?

Directional locks are fitted to the top plate of swivel casters in most equipment and transport units. They use a foot pedal to actuate the brake lever that removes the directional lock and allows the caster to swivel freely. On pushing the brake lever upward, the swivel motion of these casters is blocked, allowing them to travel straight.
