Casters are a great way to move heavy and bulky items around your facility. They are also easy to clean and can stand up to a variety of conditions.
Whether you are moving a large piece of equipment or just a few shelves, it's important to have the right size caster. This will help you to get the best results and avoid injuries from bumping or falling IN
Heavy duty caster.
Load Capacity and Wheel Material
The weight capacity of a caster is largely influenced by the wheel materials. Usually, the heavier the wheel, the higher the load capacity it has. Some of the most common material options include polyurethane, iron core, molded nylon, cast iron, and
casters heavy duty.
For example, a wheel with a polyurethane core can handle up to 1500 lbs. A wheel with an iron core can support up to 1800 lbs.
Wheel diameter and width are also a consideration for weight capacity. A larger wheel has more strength to carry heavy loads and distribute weights better.
Another important thing to consider is the type of cart or platform where the casters will be mounted. If the equipment will be used in a warehouse, it is likely that the casters will have to deal with rough surfaces.
Fortunately, many different types of casters are available that can accommodate almost any application. This is especially true when it comes to casters for heavy equipment. Some casters are designed to be incredibly tough, while others are made with an emphasis on safety.
