Heavy-Duty Wagon Truck
Fifth wheel steering describes a type of steering where the front wheels and axle assembly pivot on a
center point, which is referred to as the fifth wheel. Because the steering wheels encounter less friction
when turning than would be encountered in a swivel caster, wagon trucks with fifth wheel steering can
be easier to manuever under heavier load conditions. This is especially true when softer, wider pnuematic
wheels are required because of use on rough or uneven surfaces. Wagon Trucks with this type of steering
are typically pulled, but can also be pushed. T-handle with vinyl handgrips allows two man operation.
- Heavy 12 gauge reinforced steel decks with 1-1/2" retaining lip, or flush edge.
- Full 1-inch diameter axle and roller bearing wheels (except 10" wheel models).
