Caster Concepts design heavy duty pneumatic wheel casters to mimic car tires, offering exceptional grip and maneuverability. Essentially, manufacturers fit rubber wheels around a metal hub. Many fill them with air, and some may also fill them with soft foam. They come in a variety of different sizes and styles, and they are available for anything from light-duty to heavy duty applications. These types of tires are ideal for navigating rough terrains, debris, and uneven indoor and outdoor surfaces.
Many industries utilize haevy duty pneumatic tires to move fragile loads – meaning those that may become damaged with minimal jarring or bumping – over any kind of surface, including grassy areas, pavement, and concrete floors in industrial facilities. These wheels operate quietly and improve working conditions in loud environments.
The complete line of single or dual wheel heavy duty pneumatic casters wheels offers load-carrying capacities from 320 pounds to 7,260 pounds. We construct the swivel sections from C-1045 hot-forged steel and use double-row ball-bearing swivels to ensure a long service life. The 80 Series and larger casters have tapered thrust bearings in the swivel. Caster Concepts continuously weld the legs both inside and outside for added strength. We supply wheels 16” and larger with high-speed tapered bearings as standard.
Caster Concepts designs its pneumatic casters using high-quality materials to withstand tough environments and heavy-duty usage, ensuring they last.Focusing on durability, our heavy duty pneumatic caster wheels minimize downtime, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance ROI. Their ergonomic design minimizes noise and vibration, promoting a quieter and more comfortable working environment.
Our expert team is ready to assist you in selecting the right heavy duty pneumatic wheel casters with brakes. We ensure the best fit for your needs. We offer a wide range of options to accommodate different load capacities and floor conditions. Upgrade your mobility with heavy duty pneumatic wheel casters from Caster Concepts for smoother, safer material handling every day
These heavy duty pneumatic casters offer the greatest possible protection to both loads and floors. The pneumatic tires cushion the load and roll over obstructions with ease. These casters provide longer wheel life, less maintenance and high shock absorbency. The long swivel offset in pneumatic swivel casters aids in swiveling and tracking in towing applications. When the caster is subjected to towing, tapered bearings are recommended.
Excellent shock absorbing benefits make these casters ideal for uneven floors and indoor and outdoor rough terrain. They are ideal on aircraft ground support equipment, helicopter dollies, roof maintenance equipment, mobile construction shelters, and other equipment carrying electronics or other highly sensitive materials.
Caster Concepts has a wide variety of caster options. Many of these not only improve function – but also provide safety and add longevity to the product. When considering safety options, the most common consideration would be caster locks, caster brakes, toe guards, and reinforced legs. Options that extend the life of a caster are primarily options that seal the bearing of the caster to prevent contamination of the precision parts.
Other options include threaded zerks for when an application is difficult and high level of maintenance is required and track brush wipers that keep debris from stopping movement or damaging a wheel. These options can be added at the time of manufacturing or after the caster is fully assembled.
