Caster Wheels

The right caster is essential to ensure a smooth, safe and efficient movement of equipment. They are available in different types, materials and dimensions to meet the needs of your business’s application. URL castercity.com

Material and Dimensions

The material that a caster wheel is made of influences how it moves (which in turn can affect ergonomics), its durability, the amount of noise it makes, and more. A caster wheel that is too hard or slick can cause the load or object it supports to slip, which can result in damage to floor surfaces and the equipment.

Rubber is a common caster material that can be used in wet and corrosive environments, as well as heavy-duty industrial applications. It is lightweight, which makes it easier for workers to move around and handle heavy loads.

The Benefits of Heat-Resistant Caster Wheels for High-Temperature Environments

Glass filled nylon caster wheels are durable, resilient, non-marking, resistant to hard impacts, oil and grease resistant and long-lasting. They can operate within a temperature range of up to 490degF continuous or 550degF intermittent, as well as on floors including carpet, brick and concrete, linoleum, asphalt, terrazzo and wood.

Kingpin-less Casters

The raceways of kingpin-less casters are one piece forged together instead of bolted and nutted, making them more durable. They are able to withstand shock loads and abusive applications, and can be found on carts, furniture, medical equipment and other products.

Forklifts, carts, waste disposal bins, and other industrial equipment can be easily moved around with a set of casters. They help to improve efficiency across warehouses and workspaces, and reduce physical strain on employees.
