The caster wheel. Humanity’s oldest and most transformative invention. But what happens after the wheel? The answer lies not just in rolling forward, but in mastering the art of directed, controlled, and adaptable movement. This is the realm of the caster wheel – the unsung hero enabling the effortless glide of hospital beds, the precise positioning of aerospace tooling, the relentless flow of global logistics, and the quiet mobility of your favorite ergonomic chair.

At Guangdong Goodich Hardware Co., Ltd., we don’t just manufacture caster wheel; we engineer the foundation of seamless motion. We are the architects of agility, empowering industries worldwide to move smarter, safer, and more efficiently. Forget the mundane; step into the future of mobility crafted with precision, passion, and unparalleled manufacturing prowess in the heart of China’s industrial powerhouse.

1. Product Description: Beyond Rolling – Engineering Intelligent Motion

Goodich caster wheel transcend the simple concept of a wheel on a bracket. They are sophisticated motion systems, meticulously designed to meet the unique demands of diverse applications. Our philosophy is built on three pillars:

  • Performance Engineered: Whether navigating the sterile corridors of a hospital, the demanding environment of a manufacturing plant, the heavy loads of a warehouse, or the delicate surfaces of a retail space, we have the solution. From ultra-quiet, non-marking elastomers for healthcare to ultra-heavy-duty forged steel assemblies for mining, our materials and designs are purpose-built.

  • Durability Defined: We understand that downtime is costly. Goodich casters are subjected to rigorous in-house testing far exceeding industry standards (e.g., dynamic load testing, impact resistance, swivel fatigue tests, environmental simulation). We build them to last, ensuring smooth operation cycle after cycle, year after year.

  • Innovation Integrated: We constantly push boundaries. Explore our range featuring:

    • Locking Precision: Total-lock (brake + swivel lock), directional lock, side brake options for ultimate stability.

    • Specialized Solutions: Anti-static, chemical-resistant, high-temperature, extreme cold, and food-grade certified caster wheel.

    • Ergonomic Excellence: Low starting resistance, smooth swiveling under load, vibration damping for operator comfort and reduced product damage.

    • Aesthetic Versatility: Beyond function, we offer various finishes (zinc plating, chrome, powder coating in RAL colors) and designs to complement modern equipment aesthetics.

    • Rubber: Classic grip and cushioning (solid or molded-on).

    • Phenolic: Non-sparking, heat resistant, electrically insulating.

  • Wheel Tread Width: Affects stability and floor pressure (e.g., 25mm, 32mm, 40mm, 50mm+).

  • Bearing Type: Crucial for performance and longevity:

    • Plain Bore (PB): Simple, economical for light loads/slow speeds.

    • Roller Bearing (RB): Standard for most industrial applications, good load/speed balance.

    • Precision Ball Bearing (BB): Lowest rolling resistance, highest precision, ideal for smooth floors and sensitive equipment.

    • Tapered Roller Bearing (TRB): Highest radial and thrust load capacity for severe duty.

  • Swivel Radius: The clearance required for the caster to rotate fully.
  • Static Load Capacity (kg/lbs): Maximum weight per caster when stationary.

  • Dynamic Load Capacity (kg/lbs): Maximum weight per caster wheel when moving at walking speed (typically 3-4x the static load for quality casters).

  • Operating Temperature Range: Specified for specialized applications.

  • Total Height (mm/in): Mounting height critical for equipment design.

Detailed spec sheets are available for every single model. We believe informed decisions lead to optimal performance.
