KOREAN EXTRA HEAVY DUTY SHOCK LOAD CAPACITY 400 KG LARGE INJECTION MOLDING MACHINES

A02 Single Spring Shock Absorbing Caster — Red Cast Iron Core PU Wheel, Galvanized Bracket, 400 kg

Breadcrumb: Home / Heavy Duty Casters / A02 Korean Style Series / 8 Inch (200mm)

The A02 Series is our Korean-style heavy duty shock absorbing caster: protect the equipment above while the wheel below rolls over rough floors.

This 8 inch (200 mm) model combines:

• a RED CAST IRON CORE PU wheel (polyurethane tread cast directly onto a solid iron hub), Shore A 95-98
• a GALVANIZED STEEL BRACKET with a built-in SINGLE COMPRESSION SPRING
• a 6203 precision ball bearing for low rolling resistance

The single spring is pre-loaded between the top plate and the yoke. When the wheel hits a floor joint, threshold or chip pile, the spring compresses vertically and absorbs the impact before it reaches the machine frame.

The 8 inch is the largest model in the A02 family: 248 mm installed height, 400 kg per wheel (approx. 1,600 kg on a 4-wheel set). It is built for the heaviest, bulkiest equipment and the worst floors — large-format laser cutters, diesel generators, steel coil carts, large injection molding machines and aircraft / ground-support handling dollies.

[1] RED CAST IRON CORE PU WHEEL — Shore A 95-98

• Polyurethane is CAST (poured liquid) onto the iron hub, not glued. The bond is permanent — the tread can never delaminate under load.
• Shore A 95-98 is the upper end of the industrial hardness scale:
  • highly resistant to cutting, chunking and wear from metal chips
  • non-marking on epoxy, painted and PVC floors
  • oil, grease and most solvent resistant
• RED colour = visual wear indicator: when the black iron core shows through the red tread, replace before failure.
• Cast iron core = zero radial deformation, superior heat dissipation versus aluminium, rigid centre keeps the 6203 bearing aligned.

[2] GALVANIZED STEEL BRACKET (5.0 mm pressed steel)

• Hot-dip galvanized coating protects against rust and corrosion far better than painted brackets (paint chips; zinc does not).
• 5.0 mm plate for top plate and yoke = high structural strength, resists bending under off-centre shock loads.
• Clean bright industrial finish, visually matched to the red wheel.

[3] SINGLE SPRING SHOCK ABSORPTION (A02 defining feature)

• A single heavy-duty coil spring is pre-loaded inside the bracket, between the top plate and the yoke.
• On floor joints, thresholds, chip piles and uneven slabs the spring compresses VERTICALLY and cushions the impact before it reaches:
  • large laser resonators and gantries
  • diesel engines and generator sets
  • steel coils and heavy fabricated structures
  • large injection molding machines and moulds
  • the operator pushing the trolley
• Quieter operation, less floor marking, longer bearing life, lower pushing effort, equipment protection.

⚠ Honest note (builds trust, reduces returns):
The SINGLE SPRING provides VERTICAL shock absorption.
- Need side-thrust / anti-side-shock? → DOUBLE SPRING series.
- High-speed towing / continuous dynamic load? → Contact us to select the correct spring rate (spring stiffness).

[4] 6203 PRECISION BALL BEARING

• 6203 ZZ sealed deep-groove ball bearing, common and serviceable.
• Low rolling resistance → lower push/pull force → less fatigue.
• Standard size → easy, low-cost field replacement.

The 8" is the largest, heaviest-duty A02 model. 248 mm installed height and 400 kg/wheel (≈ 1,600 kg system) give it the best ground clearance and the largest contact patch in the series — made for the heaviest equipment and the worst floors.

WHY 8 INCH:
Maximum ground clearance and largest contact patch in the A02 family. Rolls over expansion joints, threshold ramps and chip piles with the least effort. At 400 kg/wheel it is the only A02 model suited to ton-class equipment. The single spring is essential here: heavy machines generate the strongest floor shocks, and the spring protects both the equipment and the floor.

• Highest capacity in the series — 400 kg/wheel (≈ 1,600 kg system)
• Best ground clearance — clears expansion joints and ramps easily
• Largest contact patch = lowest ground pressure, safest on weak floors
• Tallest installed height (248 mm) — check machine clearance first
  → When the equipment is ton-class or the floor is the worst in the shop, choose the 8".

The A02 8 inch single spring shock absorbing caster is the largest and heaviest-duty model in the series, built for ton-class equipment on rough industrial floors. It combines a red cast iron core polyurethane wheel (Shore A 95-98), a galvanized steel bracket with integrated coil spring, and a 6203 precision bearing. Typical applications include large-format fiber laser cutting machines (2040 / 2060 / 2080), CNC gantry mills, large CNC routers (2513 / 3015 / 3020), diesel generator sets (100 kVA and above), natural-gas and biogas genset skids, transformers and switchgear trolleys, steel coil carts, sheet-metal handling trolleys, heavy welding positioners, large injection molding machines (500T+) and their mould-exchange and material trolleys, die-casting auxiliaries, large screw air compressors, industrial vacuum tanks, mobile racking systems, heavy pallet dollies, construction-site material carts, aircraft GSE dollies and heavy laboratory instrument trolleys. The iron core carries the load with zero radial deformation; the high-hardness PU tread survives metal chips while staying non-marking on epoxy and painted floors; the single spring absorbs impacts from floor joints and thresholds so vibration never reaches the machine frame. Rated 400 kg per wheel, approx. 1,600 kg system on a 4-wheel set.

Q1: What machines use the 8 inch 400 kg A02?
A: Large-format laser cutters (2040/2060/2080), diesel gensets (100 kVA+), steel coil carts, large injection molding machines (500T+), gantry CNC routers, transformers, large air compressors and aircraft GSE dollies.

Q2: Is 248 mm installed height a problem?
A: It is the tallest in the series. Check the gap between your machine base and the floor before ordering — if clearance is tight, step down to 6".

Q3: Can the single spring handle a 1.6-ton system load?
A: Yes, within spec: 400 kg × 4 wheels = 1,600 kg, on a flat level floor with evenly distributed load. For higher loads or dynamic towing, contact us for spring-rate and bracket selection.

Q4: Is the 8" suitable for outdoor use?
A: The galvanized bracket and PU wheel suit dry indoor industrial use. For rain, seawater or washdown, choose our stainless steel series.

Q5: Do you stock the 8" with brake?
A: Yes — A02-T-KU-850 is Swivel + Brake, 400 kg, 248 mm. All 4/5/6/8 inch sizes are available in Rigid / Swivel / Swivel+Brake / Central Hole.
