Key Considerations for Choosing the Right Caster

There are many factors to consider when selecting the optimal caster for your operations. Failing to take each into account can result in a sub-optimal caster that delivers less than desirable performance. One of the first considerations is weight capacity. Whether you’re towing aircraft or moving machinery, you want to select casters with sufficient capacity for your requirements.

Tied to this is the type of material. Again, different materials can have vastly different weight capacities. Thus, you will want to carefully consider, whether polyurethane, ferrous, polyolefin, rubber, etc., are the best material. Again, connected to this is the operational environment. You want to evaluate options based on their performance in hot, wet, cold, damp, environments, as well as their performance when exposed to water, cleaning agents, solvents, etc.
