caster Sourcing Overview

Wheel Material and Type Selection Choosing the right wheel material—PU, rubber, plastic, or nylon—significantly affects durability and floor compatibility; meanwhile, deciding between fixed or rotating wheels determines maneuverability and application suitability.

Brake Feature Necessity Insist on specifying whether the caster requires a brake, as this feature directly impacts safety and operational control, especially in environments where stability is critical.

Height Adjustment Considerations In practice, the setting height ranging from 52 mm to 245 mm must align with your equipment's ergonomic and clearance needs, since improper height can lead to operational inefficiencies or damage.

Load Capacity Matching A critical question to pose your supplier is whether the caster’s loading capacity—spanning from 22 kg up to 400 kg—meets your maximum weight demands, as underestimating this can cause premature failure and increased replacement costs.
