What are Casters?

Casters are devices typically attached to the base of objects, such as chairs, tables, and carts. They swivel and rotate, allowing one to move heavy items with less effort. Casters usually consist of a wheel, stem, and frame made from materials such as nylon, zinc, or steel.

Different Types of Casters

Casters are industrially designed to mount onto the bottom side of objects or furniture for easy movement, allowing them to be rolled from one place to another with minimal effort. There are a variety of types of casters with differing capabilities. Some examples are:

  • Side Mount Casters
  • Stainless Steel Casters
  • Rubber Caster Wheels
  • Casters with Brakes
  • Swivel Casters with Brakes

Side mount casters provide durable side attachments for lighter-duty items such as toolboxes and small carts. Stainless steel casters offer corrosion resistance in harsher environments and are ideal for food service applications. Rubber caster wheels reduce noise and vibration in hospitals and clean rooms, and casters with brakes are perfect to prevent the caster from rolling.

How Are Casters Used?

Casters are incredibly versatile and can be used in many applications, ranging from rubber tire casters to large wheel casters and metal caster wheels. Caster manufacturers offer an impressive array of different caster sizes, styles, materials, and capacities, making them ideal for transporting heavy loads that traditional wheels sometimes cannot. Their unique mobility allows objects to move quickly and efficiently without having to be picked up or carried. Whether it's for indoor or outdoor use, casters provide increased safety for items and personnel, reducing slips, trips, and falls.
