The swivel bracket is heavy gauge stamped steel with a reinforced fork and top plate, bolted and secured with a strong central kingpin.

The twin ball race in the swivel head is reinforced by hardened bearing bushings in the rotating track that make it especially resistant to high impact loads and shocks.

The wheel axle is bolted and zinc-plated and the wheel centre is die-cast aluminium and corrosive resistant.

The wheels, which are either solid elastic rubber or Blickle Extrathane, offer low rolling resistance.
