These casters have high load capacity in relation to its overall height. This is due to the kingpinless construction with a large diameter caster ball race and the wide wheel. Low Height Dual Wheel Dolly Casters (Type LL) have high load capacity in relation to its overall height. This is due to the center line of the wheels being within the circumference of the large diameter swivel bearing and the benefits of the differential action of dual wheels. Specialty Casters PDF
