How much weight must casters and wheels normally be able to carry?

Casters and wheels must be able to carry different amounts of weight. However, the exact requirements depend on your individual application. Some casters and wheels only need to be able to carry light materials like boxes or drawers. Other casters and wheels need to be designed for heavy machinery, trucks, or even ships. In general, however, casters and wheels used in industry must be able to support weight loads ranging from several hundred kilograms to several tons at varying speeds and times of use. The exact specifications depend on the particular application and the customer's requirements.

How can casters and wheels be protected from wear?

There are a number of ways to protect casters and wheels from wear. For one, it's important to choose the right material. Also, choosing the right treads for your floor can increase the wear resistance of casters and wheels. In addition, regular maintenance can help extend the life of casters and wheels. Also, pay attention to how much weight a caster can support. Excessive load can wear out the caster quickly, and replacing casters and wheels can cost valuable time and money.

How important is the resistance of casters and wheels to chemicals?

Chemical resistance of casters and wheels in general industry is critical, as many industrial applications use chemicals and aggressive substances. Casters and wheels that are not chemical resistant can be damaged or have their performance compromised, resulting in lost productivity or even safety issues. Contact of casters and wheels with chemicals that degrade or weaken the materials can cause premature wear and failure of casters and wheels. For this reason, casters and wheels in industry often must be made of chemical-resistant materials such as stainless steel, polyurethane or rubber. Therefore, it is important that casters and wheels are selected for use in specific environments and applications to ensure maximum resistance to chemicals and aggressive substances.
