Casters

Casters are wheeled attachments installed at the base of equipment and furniture to enable easy movement and maneuverability. They are available in various types, including swivel casters for multidirectional mobility and rigid casters for straight-line motion. Constructed from materials like rubber, polyurethane, nylon, and steel, casters can support load capacities from under 100 pounds to over several thousand pounds, making them suitable for everything from portable racks to heavy foodservice equipment such as restaurant ranges. Key features include load ratings, wheel hardness, mounting options such as plate or stem mounts, and specialized functions like braking mechanisms or shock absorption. Different casters are compatible with specific units, so be certain to confirm before purchasing. Casters meet diverse needs in businesses like restaurants, warehouses, grocery stores, and can be used for catering, medical equipment, and more.
