Do you know how to choose the material of heavy-duty casters?

Nowadays, domestic caster products are complex and come in many varieties. You should pay special attention when choosing heavy-duty casters, because heavy-duty casters are generally objects with relatively large loads, so the selection of casters is particularly important to avoid the casters themselves. It causes unnecessary property damage to goods and safety, so it is important to choose a good heavy-duty caster product, and this depends even more on a manufacturer that has strict quality control.

1. What are heavy-duty casters:

Heavy-duty casters refer to casters with relatively large load capacity. If there is no relative reference in the industry classification, it is difficult to distinguish what is a heavy-duty caster, what is a light caster, and what is a small caster. Heavy-duty casters are classified according to the load-bearing capacity of the casters. They are classified as light casters, medium-sized casters, etc. There is no clear boundary. Generally, high-load casters are called heavy-duty casters. Generally, those with a load capacity of more than 200 kilograms can be called heavy-duty casters, including super-heavy-duty casters, which are also a type of heavy-duty casters.

2. Heavy-duty caster wheel material selection:

In the field of transportation, logistics, or engineering, heavy-duty casters are used for moving heavy machinery and equipment, so the wheels of heavy-duty casters generally use hard tread wheels, and their hardness can reach SHORE 95-98A. Such as nylon wheels, cast iron wheels, forged steel wheels, rubber wheels, and polyurethane wheels are all ideal choices. The chemical characteristics of these wheels determine the specific scenarios of their use, which can improve the cost-effectiveness of the product after leaving the factory. Among them, forged steel wheels and polyurethane caster wheels are especially suitable for wheels matching extra heavy-duty casters.

3. Heavy duty caster selection:

1-- Regular heavy-duty caster manufacturers can generally provide drawings and other relevant necessary technical parameters;

2-- Regular heavy-duty caster manufacturers must have professional testing equipment, including caster walking test, load test and other professional caster testing equipment. Otherwise, the load requirements of the casters cannot be judged.
