Industrial Casters – Choosing the Right One with Confidence.

Cut Through the Clutter and Find the Perfect Caster for Your Job.

Selecting an industrial caster can feel like a maze. Where do you even begin? Let’s break down the essentials so you can pick the right dolly caster for your application with ease.

Step 1: Calculating the caster’s capacity.

First up, figure out how much weight your casters need to support. Include both the cart and its maximum load. For a safety margin, plan for only three casters to be carrying the weight, as floors aren’t always perfectly even, meaning not all four casters may touch down at once. So, make sure three casters can handle the load.

Step 2: Get Clear on the Application.

Think about the environment and limitations of your setup. Got height or width restrictions? Go for a dual-wheel caster to get top capacity without the extra height. Need a smooth ride on a rough or uneven floor? Our polyurethane treads and spring-loaded casters are ready to tackle it all.

Step 3: Zero In on the Right Caster Type.

With load and application in mind, it’s time to choose the caster type. Wondering if you need spring-loaded or what kind of swivel setup to go with? Here’s the breakdown:

  • Kingpin Swivel: Great for specific uses where you have a solid maintenance plan.
  • Kingpinless: This powerhouse works for most applications, reducing wear and tear on the swivel section.
  • Maintenance-Free: Your go-to for smooth moves and no upkeep hassles.

Step 4:  Pick Your Wheels.

Your choice of the wheel depends on your application’s demands:

  • For high-heat environments, steel or high-temp plastic wheels stand up to the challenge.
  • Protecting the floor? Go for polyurethane wheels for a softer touch.
  • Hauling heavy loads? Opt for larger polyurethane wheels or go ergonomic with Twergo™ Casters.
  • Need strength but with a low profile? Steel and Nytec wheels deliver in a compact package, especially in a dual-wheel design.

Add-ons give your setup the control and safety it needs:

  • Brakes: Keep your load locked and steady.
  • Swivel Locks: Fix the swivel position for easier handling.
  • Toe Guards: Shield feet from rolling hazards.
