As you start on your journey to pick out casters for your application, I’d like to take some time and answer the top 4 common caster questions customers ask who are new to specing out industrial casters. So the first major question we get asked is:” What does a Caster cost?’
Even though you might have four casters, three points make a plane. Considering that not everything is flat, usually three wheels are probably carrying that load, so divide your load by three and then find a Caster that has that load capacity. In this case, each load would be able to handle 1,000 lbs.
We also get asked a lot about how long it takes to get a caster once it is ordered. Our average lead time is around two weeks and this can change depending on complexity, but in general our lead time is two weeks or less and we’ve built our Manufacturing Systems to allow us to handle a high variation in type of product as well as quantity.
