About Casters
Casters are used in many industries and applications to make moving heavy objects easier. They are typically used for equipment, furniture, carts, and other items that need to be moved around on a regular basis. Casters come in many different sizes, shapes, and styles to accommodate the weight and size of the item being moved.
Types of Casters
The most common types of casters are swivel casters which allow for movement in all directions; rigid casters which only move forward or backward; and locking casters which can be locked into place when needed. Heavy duty casters can also be found for larger items such as industrial machinery or heavy equipment.
Materials used for Casters
Casters are usually made from steel, plastic, rubber, or polyurethane materials. Steel is the most durable option but can be heavier than other materials. Plastic is lightweight but may not provide enough support for heavier items. Rubber and polyurethane offer a combination of durability and weight support.
Industries that use Casters
Heavy duty casters are often used in manufacturing plants where they help move large pieces of equipment from one area to another with ease. They are also commonly found in warehouses where they help transport goods from one aisle to another quickly. In addition, they can also be found in hospitals where they assist medical personnel with transporting patients or medical supplies.
