1. Choose the size of the casters. Generally speaking, the larger the caster size, the better the driving force. The stronger the jumping ability, the workhorse casters on the market are from 1 inch to 10 inches. General equipment does not need to be lifted frequently, and 3-inch casters can be used. It is best to use 4-6 inch casters that need to be lifted frequently. However, due to the excessive diameter of the caster wheels, the center of gravity of the equipment is increased and the cost is increased, which needs to be considered comprehensively.
2. Caster material: Casters are mainly composed of super artificial rubber casters, polyurethane casters, plastic casters, nylon casters, steel casters, high temperature casters, rubber casters, etc. Casters of different materials are suitable for different ground environments and temperatures, and the quality is also different. It is necessary to choose the actual situation.
3. Look at the bearings: For mobile scaffold casters with the same diameter, the general manufacturer will produce several different load-bearing series, such as light, medium, medium, etc., by making the wheels and brackets have different thicknesses or materials. Give a certain safety factor is a single caster, when the load on the ground is relatively flat, single caster load (= total weight of equipment, number of installed casters) × 1.2 (safety factor); if the ground is uneven, then for a single caster Load algorithm, casters = gross weight of equipment / 3 because no matter what kind of non-smooth ground there are always at least three wheels and supporting equipment, this algorithm is equal to increasing the insurance factor, making it more reliable and preventing bearing shortages, resulting in greatly reduced accidents or life of casters.
4. Selection of scaffolding: It is divided into directional and universal. The material is usually carbon steel, which can be used for various electroplating, such as spraying, galvanizing, copper plating, nickel plating, etc., and can also be used in conjunction with stainless steel.
5. Brakes: From a functional point of view, there are brakes, there are brakes and brackets, all brakes are double brakes on the same brake, there are also tread brakes, positive brakes, side brakes, etc., which are related to the caster factory.
6. Installation method: general light load can be used as wire, stopper rod, expansion rubber sleeve, and heavy load on the floor or directly welded to the equipment.
Choose according to the above six methods, and the manufacturer of Shangxin casters guarantees that you can pick up the scaffold casters you are satisfied with.
