Secret to Lightness #2: "Dedicated Bearings" That Support Heavy-Load Swiveling
Thrust Bearing
Firmly supports heavy vertical loads
Tapered Roller Bearing
Ensures smooth swiveling even at
maximum load
Two types of precision bearings are built into the swivel section of the JH/JP brackets, so carts
turn surprisingly smoothly even with heavy loads.
