Trolleys are our commonly used transportation tools. To evaluate a useful trolley, the important component is the industrial casters installed on the trolley. Useful trolley casters can make the trolley push effortlessly and quickly, make less noise when pushing, and are more durable.
So how to choose the right trolley casters?
1. When choosing the load of trolley casters, you must first consider the load capacity of your trolley. For example, if your trolley has a total load of 1 ton, the trolley is generally equipped with 4 casters, but the load should be divided equally among the 3 casters, because in the caster industry , there is a safety factor for the force of the casters. The casters may not be stressed at the same time during the pushing process, so the load is calculated based on 3 casters. For example, for a trolley with a total load of 1 ton, casters with a single wheel load of more than 300KG should be selected.
2. Selection of trolley caster size. The general trolley caster size is 4/5/6/8 inches, and the common wheel widths are 40/48/50mm. The larger the diameter and wider the wheel width you choose, the lighter and more effortless the trolley will be to push. Of course, the larger the wheel, the higher the price. This requires us to choose based on the actual situation.
3. Choice of trolley caster material: There are many types of caster materials. Different casters can be selected according to the different surfaces on which the trolley is used. For example, casters made of polyurethane can be used on cement floors and epoxy floors, and casters made of polyurethane can be used on hotel trolleys and dining carts. Silent casters made of TPR material.
To sum up, when choosing industrial casters, you should choose the casters that suit you according to your own requirements, make the most of every penny, and reduce replacement costs.
