281968 - Miller Filtair 130 Replacement Swivel Caster Wheel 2-Inch

Genuine Miller Replacement Hardware for Industrial Maintenance

The Miller 281968 is a specialized 2.00-inch swivel caster designed exclusively for the Miller Filtair 130 series of fume extraction units. In the realm of industrial MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations), ensuring that shop equipment remains fully functional is critical for workflow efficiency and safety compliance. This component serves as a direct OEM replacement, guaranteeing that the structural integrity and mobility of the fume extractor are maintained according to factory specifications.

Fume extraction systems are vital for maintaining air quality in welding environments, but their effectiveness is often dictated by their portability. A compromised caster can render a portable unit stationary, reducing its utility and potentially leading to non-compliance with safety standards if the unit cannot be moved to the source of the fumes. The Miller 281968 restores the necessary mobility, allowing the unit to glide smoothly across concrete shop floors. As an OEM part, it eliminates the guesswork associated with generic casters, which may not match the specific mounting patterns, height requirements, or load ratings of the Filtair 130 chassis.

Constructed to withstand the rigors of an industrial welding environment, this swivel caster features a durable wheel composition and a robust swivel mechanism. The 2-inch diameter is engineered to provide the correct ground clearance for the machine, preventing undercarriage damage while maintaining a low center of gravity for stability. For procurement specialists and facility managers, stocking or quickly acquiring genuine replacement parts like the 281968 ensures that downtime is minimized and that valuable capital equipment remains in active service.

Installation is straightforward, designed to interface directly with the existing mounting points on the Filtair 130. By utilizing genuine Miller parts, operators ensure that the equipment retains its original handling characteristics. This caster is sold individually, allowing for targeted repairs of specific damaged wheels without the need to purchase a full set if unnecessary.
