There are many things to pay attention to when purchasing super-heavy casters for scaffolding. The manufacturer of scaffolding casters in Ningbo, Shangxin Brand Casters, has conducted a detailed analysis on the purchase of scaffolding casters.
1. Choose the right size casters. Currently popular casters on the market vary in size from 1 inch to 10 inches. The commonly used sizes are 2 inches, 2.5 inches, 3 inches, 3.5 inches, 4 inches, 5 inches, 6 inches, 8 inches, 10 inches, etc. Generally, casters need to be promoted, such as supermarket shopping carts, logistics carts, tool carts, etc. The larger the diameter of the caster wheel, the less effort it takes to drive and the stronger the obstacle ability.
2. The quality of scaffold casters should be selected. Generally, there are polyurethane, TPR, PP, rubber, nylon and so on.
3. The use of scaffolding wheels should pay attention to the environment, applicable temperature, surface hardness, ground environment, etc.
4. The bearing capacity of scaffold casters. When the ground is relatively flat, the load of a single caster is equal to (the total weight of the equipment) the number of installed casters * 1.2 (insurance factor). If the ground is uneven, then the algorithm is that the single wheel load is equal to the total weight of the equipment, because no matter what kind of uneven ground, there are always at least three wheels supporting the equipment at the same time. This algorithm is equivalent to improving the insurance factor, making it more reliable, and preventing insufficient bearing capacity, thereby greatly reducing the life of the casters or accidents.
5. The installation of scaffold casters is also very important. In general, medium and light loads can be used as screws, plug rods, expansion rubber sleeves, etc., and heavy loads can be used as bottom plates or directly welded to the equipment. Generally speaking, the installation method of a larger caster company (Hui Yi Caster) is very simple.
6. The braking of scaffold casters is very important. In terms of function, there are brake wheels and universal brake brackets, both of which are double brakes at the same time, as well as tread brakes, positive brakes, side brakes, etc. For specific conditions, please consult Shangxin Caster Factory.
