Roller for industrial cart Blickle LKRA-TPA 80G — rubber tread, polypropylene wheel body, load 250 kg, grey

Blickle LKRA-TPA 80G is a light-duty swivel castor with a bolt-hole fitting and a 80 mm wheel diameter designed for trolleys and equipment requiring a durable, low-weight caster. The wheel combines a polypropylene centre with a thermoplastic rubber (TPE) tread (hardness 85 Shore A) in grey non-marking finish. The pressed-steel LKRA bracket is zinc-plated and blue-passivated, with a double ball bearing in the swivel head and a robust central kingpin for smooth swivel action and extended service life.

Advantages

The combination of a TPE rubber tread and a polypropylene wheel centre delivers a balance of impact resistance, quiet running and chemical resilience. The LKRA bracket’s double ball bearing swivel and special riveting process reduce swivel play and improve rolling characteristics. The wheel’s non-marking grey tread resists many aggressive substances and performs across a practical temperature range.

Suitable for

• Light industrial trolleys and hand carts
• Workshop equipment and service carts
• Replacement or retrofit of existing castors on machinery with compatible bolt-hole fittings

When it may not be suitable

The castor is intended for light-duty applications up to the specified load and is not suitable for heavy industrial transports beyond its load capacity. The tread contains oil and can stain sensitive floor finishes; for stain-sensitive surfaces or higher temperature environments, alternative tread materials should be considered.

Key specifications

• Wheel diameter: 80 mm
• Total height: 108 mm
• Load capacity: 250 kg (per castor)
• Tread material: thermoplastic rubber-elastomer (TPE), hardness 85 Shore A, grey, non-marking
• Wheel centre: polypropylene, impact resistant, silver grey
• Bracket: pressed steel, zinc-plated, blue-passivated, double ball bearing swivel
• Fitting type: bolt-hole fixing
• Operating temperature range: -20 °C to +60 °C (reduced load capacity above +30 °C)

How to use

Mount the castor using the bolt-hole fitting appropriate to your trolley or equipment. Ensure bolts are tightened to the manufacturer-recommended torque and that the mounting surface is flat and free of debris. Check swivel movement and wheel rotation after installation and verify load distribution across all castors. Periodic inspection and basic maintenance—cleaning the tread and checking bearings and fastening—will help maintain smooth operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify mounting bolt size and hole spacing match your equipment
• Confirm the required load capacity per castor and total for the application
• Assess floor sensitivity to oil-containing treads and consider alternative tread types if necessary
• Consider operating temperature range and potential reduced load capacity above +30 °C

Usage recommendations

Use these Blickle LKRA-TPA castors on light industrial trolleys, service carts and equipment where a quiet, impact-resistant wheel is needed; avoid use on sensitive floors without prior testing due to the oil-containing tread.
