Abstract
A compact caster wheel system for use with a skid steer vehicle, includes first and second auxiliary lift unit assemblies being spaced apart and disposable on respective left and right side margins of the skid steer vehicle and disposable rearward of the rearmost driving element and forward of the rear margin of the skid steer vehicle and projecting laterally from the respective left and right side margins less than the rearmost driving element, each of the first and second auxiliary lift unit assemblies having a respective housing assembly being couplable to the respective left and right side margins of the skid steer vehicle, first and second ram assemblies, a respective ram assembly being operably coupled to a respective one of the first and second auxiliary lift unit assemblies, and first and second ground engaging assemblies, a ground engaging assembly being operably coupled to a respective ram assembly such that actuation of the respective ram assembly effects shifting of the ground engaging assembly between an retracted, disengaged disposition and an extended, engaged disposition.
Abstract
A caster wheel, comprising a wheel contained between covers; a drive assembly connected to the covers; and a locking assembly connected to the drive assembly, the locking assembly applying pressure to a surface of the wheel under action of the drive assembly, thereby controlling a rotation of the wheel around both a vertical and horizontal axis.
Abstract
The invention relates to a running wheel of a roller such as a caster wheel or a fixed caster, comprising a hub body, in particular a hub body made of polyamide, and a running surface. The hub body is produced according to a plastic injection method. In order to further develop the generic running wheel and to improve the production and advantages of use, the running surface is embodied on a tube part and the tube part comprises a filling made of plastic and/or rubber material. |
