What load capacities can aerospace casters handle?
Proper caster load capacity depends on the equipment and product. To determine load capacity take the total loaded equipment weight and divide it by the desired number of casters on the equipment. Then add a safety margin of about 25-30% to account for uneven and dynamic loads during movement.
