How to choose a proper caster?

When you consider what caster you will use, you should consider at least below factors:

 (1). Load=(E+Z)/M

       T= each caster load

       E= the weight of the vehicle

       Z= the weight of the moving object

       M= efficient load casters quantity (the position and different heavy distribution must be considered.)

(2). Efficient load caster quantity as following:

(3). The casters load at the position of maximum should be considered when choose load capacity. Concrete load position and maximum position (P2) as picture on right:

2. Mobility

A good caster should move easily and be durable. The part of turn (frame turn, wheel rolling) should choose the minimum friction material. And accessories should choose those treated by special technology.

3. Moving Speed

The request of caster speed:

Under normal temperature and on flat smooth floor condition, the speed should be no faster than 4km/h of working. And there should be static interval during the work time.
