Casters are a great way to make your casters, racks, trucks and other heavy equipment more maneuverable. They are available in a wide variety of sizes, styles, materials and with numerous swiveling, braking and locking options.

Ergonomic Casters

In most workplaces, a lot of energy is wasted moving carts and other equipment because employees struggle to move them. This can lead to fatigue and injury. Using ergonomic casters can help reduce this energy waste and allow your employees to be more productive at work.

Maximizing Efficiency and Mobility with Casters: Tips for Choosing the Right Type for Your Needs

Using casters helps keep your employees safe from falls. Some casters even have toe guards that protect your employees’ feet from falling and hurting themselves.

A Quieter Working Environment

If your employees have to work in loud surroundings, they are likely to become distracted and less productive. This can be a major problem for your business and affect your bottom line in many ways.

Sound-Dampening Wheels

In order for your caster wheels to be effective, they need to be made from the right material. The wheel itself needs to be a good quality material, such as solid rubber or polyurethane, and the treads need to be durable.

Spring Loading

The most common way to use casters is with spring loads. This means that the casters roll freely with lighter loads and deflect to a stop when heavier loads are placed on them.

There are a few different types of springs that you can use with your casters. These include hydraulic and elastomeric springs, as well as steel coiled springs.
