Industrial Casters & Caster Wheels

Posted by Nova Smith on September 1st, 2022

When shopping for industrial plate casters, there are two main types to keep in mind: swivel casters and rigid casters. Each type of caster has its pros and cons.

Both fixed and swivel casters have bearings in the wheel that let them move the wheel back and forth along a path. This movement can be used to turn the wheel or put force on the load to move it up or down. On fixed casters, this force is applied by a bearing that is mounted on the inside of the caster. In a swivel caster, a ball bearing is mounted to the outside of the wheel within the “raceway.”

As was already said, swivel casters offer things easier to move around. Because of this, people who need casters for industrial or commercial uses may find them easier to use. But not every need is the same. Each of these designs is easy to carry in a different way. When choosing casters, you should offer sure they will fit in the space you have and that they are flexible enough to meet your specific needs. You can shop for thousands of casters online, both for industrial and home use. When you find something you like.

On our website, you can find a wide variety of heavy-duty casters. The stem caster is a great choice if you want casters that are easy to install and replace. It does, however, come in different kinds that depend on your needs and how you want to use it. Stem casters have a long stem that can be inserted into a table, chair, or any other object with enough space to insert a hole for the stem.

There are many kinds of stem casters: threaded stem casters, grip ring stems, grip neck stems, expanding rubber stems, and square and round stems with cross holes for your wire shelving.  If you need help finding the right casters for your job, we can help you.
