Are marine casters suitable for indoor and outdoor use?

Yes, many of Colson Group's marine casters are designed to perform reliably in both indoor manufacturing facilities and outdoor marine environments.

What caster capacity is recommended for heavy marine manufacturing equipment?

The required capacity depends on the total weight of the equipment and payload. Casters should be selected with an appropriate safety factor to accommodate dynamic loads during movement. To calculate the correct caster load rating, divide the total loaded equipment weight by the number of casters, then add the safety factor (typically 25-30%).

What caster features are important for high-moisture environments?

Key considerations include corrosion-resistant components, moisture-resistant wheel materials, sealed bearings, and construction designed for wet conditions.

How do I reduce push/pull force when moving large loads?

Selecting larger wheels, low rolling-resistance materials, and properly sized casters can help reduce operator effort and improve ergonomics.
