8 inch scaffold caster.
A 200 x 50 mm wheel on a stem-mounted swivel fork with brake, rated at 500 kg per caster — built for rolling scaffold towers that must move easily and then stand like they were never on wheels.

Scaffold casters live a double life. Rolling, they carry a tower and its crew's materials across yards and slabs; parked, they are part of a safety structure, and their brakes and stems are inspected like one. This model is specified for both lives: a big 8 inch wheel for rough surfaces, a stem that matches scaffold tube standards, and a brake that locks the wheel positively.
The stem interface is the critical dimension — scaffold systems differ, and a stem that almost fits is a hazard, not a bargain. The quotation states the stem diameter and insertion specification; send your frame tube's internal dimensions (or the standard your towers follow) with the RFQ so the interface is locked, not assumed.
Configuration options
- Tread options: polyurethane for finished slabs, rubber for rough yards.
- Plate-mount variant for non-scaffold heavy equipment.
- Fleet packaging for rental companies under the OEM programme.
What the sample verifies
Before bulk production, the production sample of this model is checked against the locked specification: wheel diameter and — critically — wheel width measured, tread hardness verified, bearing type confirmed, fork and plate thickness measured, and load performance tested per the stated convention (EN 12532 / ANSI ICWM). The approved sample becomes the reference for the shipment, and the order carries batch traceability back to it.

About this model
Which scaffold standard does the stem fit?
Standards differ by system and region — that is why the stem is a stated dimension, not a claim. Send your tube internal diameter or system name and the quotation locks the interface.
Are scaffold casters a safety component?
Yes — on a rolling tower the casters and brakes are part of the structure's safety case. Buy them on verified capacity and brake performance (sample-tested), not on photograph and price.
Can these be used on non-scaffold equipment?
The same wheel and fork serve heavy carts and equipment; for plate-mounted duty see the heavy duty line.
Need this caster under your own brand?
Private label, custom packaging and carton marks are available across the range — mention it in the RFQ and the quotation will include the branding steps.
