This caster kit is designed to transform bulky cases into nimble, travel-ready containers suitable for field work, transportation hubs, and demanding military-grade operations. From the moment you mount it, you’ll notice improved maneuverability, reduced strain during handling, and a reliable, durable performance you can count on in the most challenging settings.

• All-terrain mobility with lockable casters and high-traction wheels: The skb-caster-kit delivers smooth rolling across varied surfaces, including gravel, concrete, mud, and uneven terrain, ensuring you can move heavy gear with minimal effort. The design emphasizes stability, keeping your 3R Series case upright and controlled even when navigating tight corners or crowded work zones. The locking mechanism offers secure, stationary positioning when you need to park equipment during inspections or briefings, minimizing the risk of unintended movement.
• Military-grade durability and rugged construction: Built to withstand demanding environments, the caster kit uses reinforced housings, corrosion-resistant hardware, and heavy-duty bearing systems that resist dust, moisture, and impact. This ensures longevity in field deployments, shipping, and routine handling while maintaining smooth operation over time. The kit complements the case’s rugged rotomolded exterior, protecting contents during transit and storage without adding noticeable bulk.
• Simple, tool-efficient installation with included hardware: The skb-caster-kit is designed for straightforward mounting onto compatible 3R Series cases. It comes with all necessary mounting plates, fasteners, and instructions, enabling quick installation with common hand tools. The modular design allows for future adjustments or replacements, so you can tailor your mobility setup as your mission needs evolve. Expect a secure, wobble-free fit that preserves the integrity of your case and its seals.
• Enhanced load stability and cargo protection: The caster assembly is engineered to distribute weight evenly and maintain balance, reducing the risk of tipping when the case is loaded or moved through doors, ramps, or loading docks. Integrated protection features, including sealed bearings and dust shields, help preserve performance in dusty environments and through temperature fluctuations—critical for mission-ready equipment that may experience exposure to the elements.
• Versatility, adaptability, and future-proofing: This caster kit is engineered to be compatible with the 3R Series Roto Molded Military Standard Cases, providing a flexible mobility upgrade that doesn’t compromise case integrity. Whether you’re outfitting multiple containers for a convoy, deploying a standalone field kit, or refreshing older cases, skb-caster-kit offers a dependable, scalable solution that supports your evolving operational needs and storage configurations.

how to install -skb-caster-kit

To install the skb-caster-kit onto a compatible 3R Series case, follow these steps to ensure a secure, long-lasting fit:

• Prepare the case: Clear the installation area and verify that the 3R Series case is empty and stable on a flat surface.
• Position the mounting plates: Align the caster mounting plates with the designated positions on the case’s base, ensuring even spacing and alignment with chassis ribs or existing fastener points where applicable.
• Attach the plates: Use the included fasteners to secure the mounting plates to the case. Tighten evenly in a cross pattern to avoid warping or misalignment.
• Mount the casters: Install the caster assemblies into the mounting plates, securing them with the supplied hardware. Check that each caster rotates smoothly and that the brakes (if provided) engage properly.
• Test and verify: With the casters installed, carefully tilt and roll the case to confirm stability. Check for any wobble, clearance issues, or interference with latches, handles, or corners. Make any needed adjustments and re-tighten fasteners as necessary.
• Final inspection: Inspect all mounting points for secure fit, confirm wheel movement in all directions, and ensure that the case maintains a level stance when stationary and rolls evenly when moved.
