Caster Track Wipers

All-Around Track Wipers completely seal the caster to keep debris from contaminating the wheel or rig. This complete barrier keeps items from rolling under the rig from the sides or the back, unlike other wipers that feature a guard around the front part of the caster. This style of track wiper also provides a unique aesthetic perspective to your industrial Casters.

One of the most popular Track Wipers is our Brush Style Track Wiper. This brush wiper has bristles that sweep away objects that can bind up the wheel. One point to consider with these wipers is that to move heavier objects out of the way, the bristles have to be very stiff, which will negate the rollability of the caster to some degree.

Track brush wipers are often used on Automated Guided Vehicles to scrap debris out of the way so that the drivers don’t run over the debris and damage the drive wheel or even the motor. An important consideration since AGVs are very expensive and they don’t want to have downtime if a wheel gets damaged because it ran over something.

Our Poly Track Wiper is considered the standard option when it comes to track wipers, and is designed to move larger items like nuts/bolts/etc. out of the way of the caster wheel. It’s a cost-effective way to keep a caster wheel running on a track where debris can stop the movement, damage the wheel, or take it off the track.

Our Poly Spring-Loaded Track Wiper performs similarly to our Standard Poly Wiper. The difference is the spring-loaded wiper has the ability to move vertically to compensate for uneven surfaces, making it better suited to withstand floor deviations and uneven terrain.
