FAQ
What is the actual load capacity per LD-429 heavy duty caster?
The LD-429 series has a rated load capacity ranging from 200kg per caster for the 100mm model up to 800kg per caster for the 300mm model. The 150mm and 200mm models, which are our most popular sizes, have typical ratings of 400kg and 500kg per caster respectively. These ratings are tested per individual caster under controlled static conditions. When designing a cart or equipment setup, multiply the per-caster rating by the number of casters and apply a safety factor of 25-30% to account for uneven weight distribution, dynamic loads, and floor irregularities.
What types of brakes are available on these heavy duty casters?
The LD-429 heavy duty series offers several brake options. The most common is the total lock brake, which simultaneously locks both the wheel rotation and the swivel mechanism for complete positioning control. We also offer directional lock brakes that lock the swivel action only, allowing the wheel to continue rolling but in a fixed straight direction. The brake mechanisms are constructed from heavy-gauge steel with friction pads designed for reliable engagement under full load conditions. Brake levers are positioned for easy foot operation and are built to withstand heavy use in industrial environments.
Are these iron core rubber casters suitable for all floor types?
LD-429 iron core rubber casters are suitable for most industrial floor types including concrete, asphalt, and warehouse flooring. The rubber tread provides better traction and is gentler on floors compared to cast iron or steel wheels, reducing floor damage and noise. For extremely rough or uneven surfaces such as broken concrete or gravel, we recommend the larger wheel diameters (200-300mm) for better obstacle clearance. For delicate floors such as epoxy coatings, tile, or hardwood, consider our polyurethane (PU) wheel option which provides even better floor protection while maintaining high load capacity.
What is the difference between ball bearings and tapered roller bearings in these casters?
Standard LD-429 casters use precision ball bearings in the wheel bore, which provide good load capacity with low rolling resistance for most heavy-duty applications. For the highest load capacities and the most demanding operating conditions, tapered roller bearings are available as an upgrade. Tapered roller bearings can support significantly higher radial and thrust loads, distribute weight more evenly, and have longer service life under extreme conditions. They are recommended for casters supporting 500kg or more per wheel, or for applications involving continuous operation, shock loading, or high impact use.
