Introduction

Choosing the right caster wheels is critical for safety, efficiency, and equipment lifespan. The wrong choice can lead to damage, noise, or operational inefficiency.

1. Determine Load Capacity

Calculate total weight including equipment + load.

Load per caster = Total weight ÷ (casters - 1)

Always include a safety factor.

Larger wheels:

• Handle obstacles better
