How do I choose the right caster for a warehouse application?

Key considerations include load capacity, floor conditions, travel distance, operating speed, environmental conditions, and how frequently the equipment will be moved. If you need help selecting the right solution, please reach out to our dedicated customer service team.

What caster capacity do I need for my cart or equipment?

To determine the proper caster load rating, take the total loaded equipment weight, divide it by the number of casters on the equipment, then add a safety factor (typically 25-30%) to account for uneven loading and dynamic forces during movement.

Can caster wheels handle expansion joints and uneven surfaces?

Yes. Larger wheels, spring loaded casters, and certain wheel materials are better equipped to navigate expansion joints, thresholds, and other floor irregularities.

Can proper caster selection help reduce workplace injuries?

Yes. Ergonomic casters that reduce push/pull force and improve maneuverability can help minimize operator strain, fatigue, ergonomic risks, and can even lower operational costs.
