Caster wheels
Support Sample Delivery & Customization
The mobility of every piece of equipment, from hospital beds to industrial carts, relies on a component that is often overlooked yet indispensable—the caster wheel. Selecting the correct caster wheels directly impacts work efficiency, staff safety, and overall operational costs.

Material
The material choice dictates the caster’s performance characteristics.
- Polyurethane: Excellent load capacity, wear resistance, floor protection (non-marking), good rollability, oil and grease resistance. Available in various hardness levels.
- Nylon: High load capacity, heat resistance, chemical resistance, low moisture absorption. Very hard and durable.
- Phenolic: Extreme hardness, high load capacity (especially static), heat resistance, chemical resistance. Non-porous.
- Rubber: Good shock absorption, quiet operation, floor protection, moderate traction.
- Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR): Combines properties of rubber and plastic. Good resilience, floor protection, medium load capacity, and cost-effectiveness.
- Stainless Steel: Used for complete caster wheels assemblies where supreme hygiene and corrosion resistance are required.
Mounting Style / Top Plate
This is the part that attaches the caster to the equipment. Main types include:
- Top Plate: A steel plate with pre-drilled hole patterns for bolting. Offers high stability and load distribution.
- Stem (Grip Ring or Threaded): A cylindrical rod that inserts into an equipment leg or socket. Often secured by a snap ring or locking mechanism.
- Screw Thread: A stem with external or internal threads that screws into a matching fixture.
- Hole Top Plate: A top plate with a central hole, allowing bolting from beneath.
Swivel Mechanism:
For swivel caster wheels, this mechanism allows 360-degree rotation. It includes:
- Kingpin: The central pivot bolt or axle.
- Raceway: The smooth surface the ball bearings roll on.
- Bearings: Reduce friction. Types include plain bore (no bearings), ball bearings, roller bearings, and precision sealed bearings. Sealed bearings are crucial in harsh environments.
Braking System:
Brakes are essential for stability and safety.
- Total Lock Brake (Dual Brake): Simultaneously locks the wheel (preventing rolling) and the swivel mechanism (preventing steering). Crucial where equipment must remain completely stationary (e.g., medical beds, ladders).
- Wheel Lock: Locks only the wheel rotation.
- Directional Lock (Swivel Lock): Locks the swivel mechanism in a specific direction while allowing the wheel to roll for straight-line movement.

Rigorous quality testing
Each of our caster wheels must pass a series of rigorous tests before mass production and before leaving the factory.
Load and Durability Testing:
We mount the casters on a test bench and apply 125%-150% of the rated load, subjecting them to tens of thousands of continuous rotations and repeated turns, simulating high-intensity use scenarios. This test verifies the wheel’s wear resistance, the structural integrity of the bracket, and the fatigue life of the rotating mechanism.
Impact and Overload Testing:
Dynamic impact tests simulate equipment crossing thresholds or uneven surfaces. We also conduct extreme static load tests to ensure safety under sudden overload conditions.
Environmental Adaptability Testing:
Salt Spray Testing:
Galvanized parts are placed in a salt spray chamber for dozens of hours to test their corrosion resistance and ensure durability in humid environments.
High and Low Temperature Testing:
The casters’ performance in extreme high and low temperature environments is tested to ensure that the wheel material does not become brittle or soften, and that the bearing grease does not lose effectiveness.
Chemical Resistance Testing:
For specific industries (such as food processing and chemical processing), the wheel material’s resistance to common chemicals (such as disinfectants and oils) is tested.
Braking Performance and Fatigue Testing:
The brake mechanism’s locking effect and operating feel are repeatedly tested, and thousands of cycles are performed to ensure its reliability after long-term use.
Field Road Testing:
The cart is tested on various surfaces within the factory (such as epoxy flooring, rough concrete, and ceramic tile) to comprehensively evaluate its rolling resistance, quietness, and floor protection performance.
