Automotive Industry Casters
Automotive manufacturing is an extremely competitive industry, one that is constantly looking to increase productivity and gain greater efficiency, while maintaining high standards for quality and safety. We know this all to well, because automotive manufacturing is the first market we served when we started Caster Concepts. Today, the automotive industry is our primary market, it is the driving force behind many of the innovative products that we create. Whether its ergonomics, noise, heavy loadsor automated guided vehicles (AGV), we have the right automotive industry casters for the job. Our range of top quality automotive casters includes jack casters, tire casters, suspension casters, drive casters & more, which are perfect for specific requirements in the automotive industry.

We offer a wide selection of Medium and Heavy Duty Commercial Casters for the Auto Industry:
The rounded wheel reduces the footprint of polyurethane that comes in contact with the floor, resulting in less friction than traditional, flat tread caster wheels.The reduction in friction helps to reduce push force when starting rolling and when turning. The rounded tread design also helps to push away some debris, rather than trapping it in the wheel.
ErgoMaxx™ is our line of Maintenance Free casters that never need greasing or any type of service. They feature precision neoprene sealed ball bearings and hardened raceways, ensuring smooth rotation for several years. The rounded tread that ErgoMaxx™ features increases ergonomic benefits by reducing force exerted to turn and keep rolling, as well as dispelling debris.
CasterShoX® casters have the ability to reduce workplace noise to levels that are safer for all employees. CasterShoX® work great for transporting fragile components or products where repeated shocks may damage the components. CasterShoX® also provides an added value for ergonomic situations.
TWERGO® unique tread thickness minimizes friction and eliminates scrubbing and sliding when turning, while providing the impact resistance of normal wheels. TWERGO® can reduce initial and continuous push force by an average of 25%, with some users even reporting as much as a 50% reduction in push force.
TWERGO® Lite is also a wise replacement to a standard 2″ wide caster. TWERGO® Lite has a durable cast iron core while adding the benefits of reduced initial and continuous push force, at a competitive price. TWERGO® Lite is a great replacement to the conventional cast iron wheel
The cutting edge design of the Swivel on Swivel (SoS) Caster achieves significant reductions in push force. This is quite possibly the most ergonomic caster on the market. The Swivel on Swivel caster is maintenance free, thanks to a kingpinless design and sealed precision ball bearings.

The Drive Caster™ is designed to move tons easily and efficiently, while offering the flexibility to integrate into a variety of applications, above and beyond industrial carts and racks. This motor driven caster, is powered by a 1/4hp or 1/2hp electric motor, that can move up to 5,000lbs total weight per caster.
The industry’s first motor powered industrial caster
Can easily be integrated into most carts, racks and carriers
The Conversion Drive Caster converts your existing material handling carts into Motor Powered Carts, quickly and easily. Simply remove one swivel caster and bolt in the conversion Drive Caster and away you go. Can be used in almost any setting where a manually pushed cart was previously used to move loads up to 5,000lbs.
