For example, heavy duty casters will likely be needed for high use and heavy loads, while locking casters will be appropriate for equipment that must maneuver on uneven floors and inclines. Other considerations may include whether to select swivel casters, or caster brakes. Additional functionality may be derived from any of several caster accessories.
