FAQ
How do I calculate the total load capacity needed for my equipment?
Divide the total weight of your equipment plus maximum load by the number of casters. For four-wheel equipment, each caster should support at least 25% of total weight. Add a 25-30% safety margin. Example: 200kg total weight divided by 4 casters equals 50kg per caster. With safety margin, select 65-75kg capacity casters.
What is the difference between swivel and fixed casters?
Swivel casters rotate 360 degrees for steering and maneuverability, typically used on two corners of a cart. Fixed casters roll only forward and backward, providing directional stability, typically used on the opposite two corners. Most four-wheel equipment uses two swivel and two fixed for balanced maneuverability.
Can PU casters be used outdoors?
Standard PU casters are designed for indoor use on smooth floors. For outdoor or rough surface use, select casters with larger diameter wheels (150mm+) and thicker tread. Avoid prolonged UV exposure as it can degrade polyurethane over time.
How do I maintain caster wheels for long service life?
Periodically check and tighten mounting bolts. Clean debris from wheel treads and swivel raceways. Lubricate bearings annually with light machine oil. Replace individual casters when tread shows significant wear or bearings develop play.
