Casters keep your business rolling. Choosing the right caster for the job will save money and headaches down the road. Consider these things when purchasing casters.
- Capacity: What is the maximum load going to be? How much does the vehicle weigh? Are floors smooth or rough?
- Floor conditions: Are floors smooth, rough or somewhere in between? Are casters going to transverse dock plates, elevator sills or other bumps?
- Operating environment: Does the floor have water, oil, grease or chemicals on it?
