Our Top Tips for Selecting the Right Heavy-Duty Casters

There are many things you need think about when selecting new heavy-duty casters, such as:

  • The combined weight of the equipment—Generally speaking, the greater the weight of the equipment, the longer the wheel of the caster needs to be. Larger wheels will distribute weight and roll more easily over obstructions on the floor.
  • The wheel bearings—Every caster comes with a different type of wheel bearing. For example, some bearings offer maximum rolling ease, while others are designed for lighter loads. Consider how you plan to use your casters when determining which type of wheel bearing will be best.
  • The operation conditions—Where do you plan on using your heavy-duty casters during your regular operations? For instance, if you need to use your casters in extreme temperatures, they may require special bearing lubricants. While if you need to use your casters in wash-down or a wet environment, stainless steel casters may be a good fit.
