BLICKLE

Blickle is a German manufacturer of casters and wheels, founded in 1953 and headquartered in Rosenfeld, Germany. The company produces a broad range of mobility solutions, including swivel and fixed casters, wheels in various materials, and specialty casters for industrial applications. Blickle's product portfolio encompasses standard casters, heavy-duty casters, stainless steel casters, and casters with integrated leveling or braking mechanisms. The company serves industries such as material handling, logistics, automotive, and general manufacturing, providing components that facilitate the movement and positioning of equipment and carts. Blickle casters are known for their modular design, allowing users to select wheel material, bearing type, and mounting configuration to match specific load, floor, and environmental requirements. Common wheel materials include nylon, polyurethane, rubber, and steel, each offering different characteristics in terms of load capacity, rolling resistance, and floor protection. Mounting options include plate, stem, and bolt-hole configurations, with various bearing types such as plain, roller, and ball bearings. 3G Electric supplies Blickle casters and wheels to industrial buyers worldwide. The current selection includes quick-engage pedal-style leveling plate casters, which combine mobility with the ability to level and lock the caster in place. These casters feature a steel swivel design with slot mounting, and are available with wheel diameters ranging from 75 mm to 100 mm and mounting heights from 117 mm to 142 mm. The quick-engage pedal mechanism allows the operator to engage a leveling pad that lifts the wheel off the floor, providing stability and preventing movement. This design is useful for applications where equipment needs to be moved into position and then secured, such as industrial carts, racks, and machinery. The casters in this range are constructed with steel frames and either nylon or polyurethane treads. Nylon wheels offer high load capacity and resistance to wear, while polyurethane treads provide floor protection and reduced rolling noise. The slot mounting pattern allows for adjustment during installation, accommodating minor variations in mounting hole spacing. 3G Electric interprets manufacturer part numbers and provides technical specifications to help buyers select the appropriate caster for their application. The company supports global shipping and can source additional Blickle products beyond the listed SKUs. For technical selection, buyers should consider factors such as load capacity per caster, wheel diameter and tread material, mounting height, and environmental conditions. Blickle publishes detailed technical data for its products, including load ratings, rolling resistance, and temperature ranges, which can be used to verify suitability. 3G Electric's role is to supply these components and assist with part number identification and cross-referencing. The quick-engage pedal-style leveling casters are part of Blickle's broader range of leveling casters, which also includes models with different actuation methods and load capacities. This range is designed to provide a stable base when stationary and easy mobility when needed. Typical applications include workbenches, assembly carts, medical equipment, and display stands. The steel construction and durable wheel materials make these casters suitable for industrial environments. When selecting a leveling caster, it is important to match the caster's load capacity to the total weight of the equipment and its contents, considering the number of casters and any uneven load distribution. The mounting height must also be compatible with the equipment's design to ensure proper ground clearance and leveling. 3G Electric provides access to Blickle's product range and can assist with technical inquiries. The company's catalog includes detailed specifications for each SKU, enabling buyers to make informed decisions. For applications requiring specific certifications or custom solutions, buyers should consult Blickle's technical documentation or contact 3G Electric for further assistance.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about BLICKLE from 3G Electric.

What is the load capacity of Blickle quick-engage pedal-style leveling plate casters?

Load capacity varies by model and wheel material. For the SKUs listed, capacities are not provided in the sample data. Blickle publishes load ratings for each caster in their technical documentation. Generally, casters with nylon wheels and steel frames in this size range (75–100 mm wheel diameter) can support loads from approximately 100 kg to 300 kg per caster, depending on the specific design. For precise capacity, refer to the manufacturer's datasheet for the exact part number. When selecting, consider the total weight of the equipment and contents, the number of casters, and any dynamic loads during movement. 3G Electric can provide load capacity information upon request for specific SKUs.

What is the difference between nylon and polyurethane treads in Blickle leveling casters?

Nylon treads offer high load capacity, resistance to wear and chemicals, and low rolling resistance, but can be noisy and may mark some floors. Polyurethane treads provide better floor protection, reduced noise, and higher abrasion resistance, with good load capacity though generally slightly lower than nylon. Polyurethane also offers better shock absorption. The choice depends on floor type, load, and environment. For smooth concrete or tile floors where noise and floor marking are concerns, polyurethane is often preferred. For rough floors or high-load applications, nylon may be more suitable. Both materials are available in Blickle's quick-engage leveling caster range.

How does the quick-engage pedal mechanism work on Blickle leveling casters?

The quick-engage pedal mechanism allows the operator to engage a leveling pad by pressing a pedal with their foot. This action lifts the wheel off the floor and brings the leveling pad into contact, providing a stable, stationary base. To disengage, a second pedal or lever is typically used to retract the pad and lower the wheel, restoring mobility. This design eliminates the need to manually adjust leveling feet, saving time and effort. The mechanism is integrated into the caster's swivel assembly, and the pedal is accessible from the side. Blickle offers various pedal configurations, including single-pedal and dual-pedal designs, depending on the model.

What mounting options are available for Blickle plate casters?

Blickle plate casters are available with various mounting options, including slotted holes, round holes, and different plate sizes. The quick-engage pedal-style leveling casters in the sample have slot mounting, which allows for adjustment during installation to accommodate minor misalignment. Plate casters are typically mounted with four bolts, and the plate dimensions and hole spacing must match the equipment's mounting pattern. Blickle provides detailed mounting dimensions in their catalogs. Other mounting types include stem casters (with a threaded stem or expanding stem) and bolt-hole casters. The choice depends on the equipment design and the required load capacity.

Can Blickle leveling casters be used on uneven floors?

Blickle leveling casters are designed to provide a stable base on relatively flat floors. The leveling pad compensates for minor floor irregularities, but significant unevenness may affect performance. The pad typically has a small amount of articulation to conform to slight slopes. For very uneven floors, alternative solutions such as adjustable feet or shims may be needed. The quick-engage mechanism is not intended to level the equipment itself; it simply raises the wheel and provides a fixed support point. If the floor is uneven, the equipment may still rock if the leveling pads do not all contact the floor evenly. In such cases, additional leveling adjustments may be required.

What maintenance do Blickle casters require?

Blickle casters generally require minimal maintenance. Periodic inspection for wear on the wheel tread, swivel bearing, and leveling mechanism is recommended. Lubrication of the swivel bearing may be necessary depending on the bearing type and operating conditions; sealed bearings typically require no additional lubrication. The leveling mechanism should be kept clean and free of debris to ensure proper engagement. Worn wheels or damaged components should be replaced. For specific maintenance intervals, refer to Blickle's documentation. In harsh environments, more frequent inspection may be needed. 3G Electric can supply replacement parts and provide guidance on maintenance.
