Aluminum Heavy Duty Casters: Full Support for the Aviation Ground Support Industry.

When it comes to harsh environments, heavy weights and unforgiving timetables, it’s tough to find more extreme conditions than what the aviation ground support equipment associated with airport and aircraft manufacturing facilities face daily.  And for many of their applications, not just any caster wheel will do.

MS Casters designs and manufactures aluminum, spring-loaded, shock-absorbing casters built to thrive in the most demanding environments. Our casters are built to endure the rigorous requirements of airport operations and aircraft manufacturing, delivering unmatched performance and durability that can take all the abuse that’s dished out and roll with it.

Casters That Are Lightweight in Every Aspect Except Performance.

138 Series Aluminum Spring Loaded CasterMS Casters are one of only two American manufacturers producing fully aluminum heavy-duty casters. When we say “aluminum caster,” we mean it—yoke, swivel section, and wheel core are all made from aluminum.

This all-aluminum construction significantly reduces caster weight—up to 1/3 the weight of traditional steel and iron core wheels—while maintaining the same strength and load capacity as steel. The result? Enhanced performance without any compromise on durability.

Key Benefits of All-Aluminum Casters:

Pneumatic Wheels in Ground Support Applications.

Pneumatic Tires

Pneumatic Tires

Casters with Pneumatic wheels, also known as pneumatic tires, offer a softer alternative than most other industrial caster wheels. The Pneumatic caster wheel is made of rubber, similar to automobile tires/wheels, and offers protection for both the flooring and the load. They are also a great choice for outdoor use, especially on rough or uneven surfaces such as gravel, cracked cement, thresholds, and other surface environments.  The pneumatic tires cushion the load and roll over obstructions with ease.

Top Marks for Aircraft, Aviation, and Aerospace: These Casters Excel Across the Board.

Modern Suspension Systems has built a strong reputation as a leader in providing superior casters. Their products are specifically designed for aviation ground support and aircraft maintenance equipment.Most major airlines, aircraft manufacturers and ground support service providers choose Modern Casters because of the Vari-Flex design and the dual-wheel series that feature a completely independent suspension.

Each wheel is mounted on its own separate axle with individual legs, functioning like two casters on one top plate. This design keeps both wheels grounded, helping maintain cart or dolly stability even on uneven surfaces or when encountering obstructions. It also helps avoid excessive stress on just one caster wheel, reducing the risk of failure and potential injuries.

So if you need a lighter weight, heavy duty, corrosion resistant, and environment-conquering caster, check out the full line of Modern Suspension System casters at www.modernsuspensionsystems.com.
