Caster wheels are an essential component in many types of materials handling and transportation equipment. These wheels provide excellent mobility, ease of movement, and maneuverability to such equipment due to their design and construction. However, one of the most important factors to consider when selecting caster wheels is their load capacity.
Load capacity is a measure of the maximum load that a caster wheel can bear without causing damage or failure. This capacity is influenced by various factors such as the wheel’s material, size, construction, and design. It is, therefore, essential to choose caster wheels that have enough load capacity to handle the equipment’s intended weight.
Typically, caster wheels are available in various load capacities ranging from light-duty to heavy-duty capacities. Light-duty caster wheels typically have load capacities of up to 200 pounds and are suitable for smaller equipment such as carts and dollies. Medium-duty caster wheels have load capacities ranging between 200 and 300 pounds and are suitable for equipment such as workbenches and tables. Finally, heavy-duty caster wheels have load capacities exceeding 700 pounds and can handle the weight of industrial machinery, cabinets, and other heavy equipment.
However, if our load capacity requirements are between 300 and 700 pounds, how should we choose the right casters? It is not a medium-duty caster, nor a heavy-duty caster. The answer is a new generation of medium-heavy caster. According to the market and customer demand, we have passed the strict castor walking load rating test (300KG load, 6MM height obstacle two), and our new generation of medium-heavy castor has passed the test perfectly, fully able to meet the load capacity between 300 and 700 pounds, making up the gap in this market.
