What types of industrial casters do you sell?

We sell a comprehensive range of industrial casters including swivel casters, rigid casters, locking casters, pneumatic wheel casters, and heavy-duty plate casters. Tread options include polyurethane, rubber, nylon, steel, and phenolic. Load capacities range from 200 to 10,000+ pounds per caster. All our industrial casters are designed for demanding warehouse, manufacturing, and material handling environments.

How do I determine the right caster load capacity?

Calculate total load weight including the cart or equipment weight plus maximum cargo. Divide by the number of casters, then add a 25% safety margin. For example, a 2,000-pound total load on four casters needs casters rated at 625+ pounds each. Also consider dynamic loads, shock loads from uneven floors, and environmental factors like temperature and chemical exposure when selecting capacity.

What caster wheel material is best for my floor type?

Polyurethane wheels are ideal for most smooth warehouse floors as they protect the surface and roll quietly. Rubber wheels absorb vibration and work well on rough surfaces. Nylon wheels handle extreme heat and heavy loads but may damage softer floors. Steel wheels suit extreme heavy loads on steel rail tracks. Phenolic wheels offer economical heavy-duty performance on smooth concrete.

What is the difference between swivel and rigid casters?

Swivel casters rotate 360 degrees for directional changes, providing maneuverability. Rigid casters only roll forward and backward in a straight line, providing stability and tracking. Most mobile equipment uses a combination: swivel casters on one end for steering and rigid casters on the other for straight-line stability. This configuration balances maneuverability with directional control.

Do you offer heavy-duty casters for industrial equipment?

Yes, we stock heavy-duty industrial casters with load ratings from 1,000 to 10,000+ pounds per caster. Heavy-duty options include reinforced swivel bearings, hardened steel raceways, and industrial-grade wheel materials. These casters are designed for heavy machinery, die carts, industrial transfer carts, and aerospace tooling. Contact us at (618) 741-0740 for heavy-duty caster recommendations.
