Big Strides in Ergonomic Excellence Achieved
by Commando ‘Kingpinless’ Caster by Darcor
Commando, the new ‘Kingpinless’ swivel caster
from Darcor, takes the heaviest of loads and moves them
with ease. Fitted with Darcor’s famous SE™
the industry’s easiest-rolling wheel, Commando
enhances ergonomics and productivity through less starting
and swivel force, and lower rolling resistance.
Commando is an engineered solution to defeating the
two principle enemies of casters: wear and friction.
It has ergonomic and performance features that put it
in a class of its own. Designed without a kingpin for
strength and endurance, Commando is ideal for demanding
and continuous applications or where ergonomic issues
must be addressed. It fulfills all requirements for
protecting loads from damage and workers from strain.
In most applications, on most equipment, the Commando
will never need to be replaced - it is that rugged.
The wheel material may be specified according to the
application and the floor surface. Available wheel materials
include solid elastomer (SE & SX), neoprene (D),
urethane (U), semi-steel (CI) and low-effort wheel material
(LE).
The caster will take repeated heavy sideload impacts
without suffering damage and is equipped with a swivel
seal for enhanced protection from contaminants. It comes
with 6” or 8” wheels. The 2 1/2” offset
design prevents chatter at high speeds and makes for
an easier swivel.
Darcor is the supplier of choice to many automotive
plants, which is where Commando is expected to find
extensive use. It is also being targeted at all industrial
facilities that place heavy demands on their material
handling equipment, such as impact loading, heavy loads,
use on towlines and imperfect floor surfaces.
With a heavy-duty stamped-and-welded construction, Commando
incorporates a precision-machined top plate and swivel
head. Its offset double-row ball race with 3/8”
and 1/4” ball bearings comes with a grease nipple
for easier lubrication. Load capacity per caster ranges
from 500 to 1,300 pounds, depending on wheel size and
type. In general, a solid elastomer wheel offers the
highest capacity, while neoprene contends best with
imperfect floors, chemicals and temperature extremes.
