Choosing the right wheel cadters is essential to ensuring that you are moving the load safely. You should consider many factors before you make a choice. These include the environment in which the castor will be used, the type of surfaces on which it will be used and the amount of load it can carry.
How old are castor wheels?
You will want to select wheels with large diameters and a wide tread. These are easier to move and have less resistance against the floor. You should also choose wheels that are made of non-porous materials and are heat-resistant.
If you want to move heavy loads, you will want to choose wheels with ball bearings or roller bearings. These wheels have a high load capacity and are durable. The material used to make the wheels can also affect the way they roll. For instance, polyurethane wheels are very durable and can carry loads of up to 1000 kg.
If you need to move equipment over long distances, you will want to choose wheels with the largest ball bearings. You should also check the gear that connects the caster to the machine. If it is crooked or has minor flaws, it might need to be replaced.
Wheels with ball bearings and roller bearings also provide good traction. They can operate in a variety of temperatures, from very cold (+45degF) to extremely hot (+450degF). They can also operate in an oily and greasy environment. They can also work in a variety of floor types.
